No it won't.  They will still be trying to drive home, open a gun safe to get the gun out, remove trigger locks, unlock ammo cabinet, load mags, and try to remember how to charge the weapon by the time things are over.

The 2nd was supposed to limit the govt's ability to infringe on that God given natural right.

It has nothing to do with whether or not people have and carry guns.

I don't think he understands what will happen if the 2nd is repealed.

I don't think it will be all unicorn farts and rainbow parades.

They've pretty much always been shills for big government Republicans.    Guys like Stossel, Cavuto, and Napolitano were always the exception.   And now have pretty much all moved over to the business channel.

Which is funny, because the other networks are similar.    Who is that Italian guy who reports from the trading floor for MSNBC?  I love it when he goes on a tirade.  

Honestly, as far as cable news goes, the only thing I can stand to watch is the business news.   From any of them.

But a while ago, he admitted to carrying a gun while in A'stan.



"Knowledge of Rivera’s wartime gun-totting came via his own admission a
week before the AP story ran. It happened on Fox News, where Rivera
said, "If they’re going to get us, it’s going to be in a gun fight.” An
anchor followed up on the question by asking Rivera if he was carrying a
gun and he responded by "nodding yes.”

The 2nd Amendment merely notifies the state that the citizen has the right to keep and bear arms. Even if repealed, it does not remove that right, because were were endowed by our Creator with that right, and that right existed before the government of the US did. There is literally no constitutional method that can take away that right. Any method used to deny, whether it be through the guise of a constitutional repeal, or an outright tyrannical confiscation attempt, is illegal, and will have no effect on those of us who believe that the right is inherent in man, and that the right is enumerated for the benefit of keeping the government from overreaching it's bounds. Those rights are not given by government, and it is our duty as patriots to fight back against any that see fit to usurp our God given rights.

The people could amend the constitution to grant the Federal government the authority to regulate the possession of firearms.

But you are right in that the absence of the second Amendment would not grant the Federal government that authority.

Even if amended , they have no right. The government did not grant us that right. A higher authority granted it to us. Therefore, government cannot take away that right. It must answer to the power that granted it to us. Unless the Higher Power that granted us that right decides to change His will and law since time began, we will always have that right. Any attempt by anyone other than our Creator is null, void, and illegal, and I will treat it as such, and so will any other patriot.

The government has no power to regulate or confiscate unless you give it that power over you. That is an individual decision. If that time were to come, there may be only 10% that would openly fight that unjust and illegal deed, but what that 10% could do, would change the face of the nation forever, just as in 1776.

that is exactly what I'm telling you. The Bill of Rights is not a list of powers that the government has. That is where you make your mistake. The Bill of Rights is a list of powers that the people have, that the people were given by their Creator, that the people had before the government existed. It is a list of powers of the people, that the government cannot touch, and have no power to touch, because they are not the authors of those powers. The Creator was the author, and only the Creator can change them or eliminate them.

The whole premise of listing those things, and stating that they were given by God, and not the government, was so that no government in the future could modify of deny them in the way that the British government they had just fought a war with did. They wrote them in such a way that no man, in any position of power, could ever touch them.

In their day, when something was granted and given by God, no human had the power to take it away.

The very definition of inalienable speaks to it.

"Inalienable"

Unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor:

There is no modifier by which an inalienable right may be taken or given. It simply cannot be, by anyone, government or other.

They put those rights out of reach for a reason. They weren't stupid men.

They put those rights out of reach for a reason. They weren't stupid men.



You're preaching up a good storm, but it's mostly going to the choir.  Most of what you've said there is true.

The bill of rights aren't a list of powers of the government.  I have never said otherwise.  The government doesn't have the authority to act where it hasn't been granted such authority.   That is true.  I have never said otherwise.

That's why the founders actually had lengthy, published debates about whether a "bill of rights" should even be added to the document.  Why include amendments to forbid the government from doing things that everyone already understood it had no authorization to do in the first place?

That doesn't mean they intended to forbid the people from authorizing the government to do things.  That goes against the purpose of even having a written constitution.

What other powers/rights/authority may the people not transfer to government?  Is there a list?  Or is it just understood?

More proof we need media reform.





It's obvious these media whores are being controlled,
all being in lock step with the same narrative, same talking points. 7
men/network owners should not have a monopoly on controlling 95% of our "news" media and networks.
Time to break them and sell them into smaller less controlled networks.
Worked with Standard Oil and Ma Bell....time for some "diversity" in
media ownership.

He was on the Fox morning show about 20 minutes ago saying that right now we are stuck with the 2nd amendment and the 14th amendment so we should have a discussion about further amendments to the constitution to repeal the 2nd amendment and "do something that makes sense."

He said something to the effect of "I think it's crazy that in a country of 350 million people that we have over 300 million guns."




It is crazy that we are 50 million guns short.

You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man, would you?.

The antigunners coming out in favor of repealing the 2nd Amendment is actually great news for the pro-gun side!

1. It "drops the mask," so to speak, and reveals their true intentions. This is better for us than the standard "I support the 2nd Amendment, but...."

2. It wastes their time and resources on an impossible quest. Amending the constitution is difficult anyway, and amending it to repeal the 2nd simply isn't going to happen. (Unless there's a constitutional convention -- or "convention of states" -- and then all bets are off.)

and people wonder why we are against that convention that some here keep calling for...
