#1 Molon labe.

Constitution of the United States of America, Article V:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress...

#2 At least he 1 - acknowledged the actual legal process of repeal and 2 - can make it an argument among his brethren, like Jefferson's letter about the separation of church and state, that you need to follow that legal process and not corrupt the law to play to your personal desires.

#3 BofA enumerates rights; it doesn't grant them. Repeal it all you want...

#4 The evil worm shows his true nature. At least now these un-American pieces of shit are open about their aims. I am glad he is gone from the court.

#5 A couple of more retirees would be good so long as they are replaced with Constitutionalists. Enough of those leftists who try to make the law from the bench.

#6 Then we get to deal with the federal court system and the massive libtard infections there.

#7 By what I've seen of the 'marches' the vast majority of attendees were well-grown ADULTS and not 'schoolchildren' at all. Usually the same crowd who attend the March for Murder Women.

I think they store them (the marchers) in unused warehouses around the Washington DC area.

#8 Proof that news is a lie and the media and Stevens are spreading disinformation.

After in-person scientific sampling of 1700+ in the anti-firearms march, statistics showed that approximately 10% of the crowd were 18 and under. Of the remaining 90%, the average age was 49 years old. The press showed big crowds from a distance, but all the closeups they show were children, to hide the fact that it was 90% older adults.

Statistically this was the same composition as the Mom's March anti-firearms protest, and possibly the pro-life March for Life.

Compare and contrast the coverages between the March for Life and this event - similar sizes, similar enthusiasm. The former get very little if any news mention, and usually some old nuns are shown.

Same sponsors too - Bloomberg, NY City based.

This was not a youth march any more than a oak-colored plastic veneer pressboard table is "solid oak".

The press is lying and misrepresenting things to the public again.

This was purely a propaganda event, no different from the old Soviet Pravda/Isvetiya trash, and the idiocy of the totalitarian Kim family dynasty Potemkin villages in North Korea. And this is our own press, willfully conspiring to push disinformation as truth to achieve their political goals.

When will the press be held accountable for lying to the public in order to promote their political aims? Someone needs to be frog-marched, or strung up for treasonously and deliberately undermining fundamental liberties.

#9 I'm hearing - and reading - that NRA memberships and fundraising are up. If Brady and Bloomberg's front organization were making big hauls it would be big news. It isn't so I guess they're not. I don't wish ill on anyone, but I think some of the Parkland kids are going to react poorly to getting the final stage of the Cindy Sheehan treatment.

#10 When will the press be held accountable for lying to the public in order to promote their political aims?

Sorry, OldSpook. I don't see any sign of that happening any time soon. The best thing that could happen would be if people simply stop watching the old dinosaur network and cable news but they seem every bit as glued to it as they always have been.

#11  Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security ...Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.

Is it also a relic that the agencies of the gov't, other than the army, are armed to the teeth with military grade munitions?

I'm much more concerned that the EPA or BLM etc. will start firing at the citizenry than I am of the 1st Div.

#12 I would repeal it, too. Replace it by this:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

#13 When will the press be held accountable for lying to the public in order to promote their political aims?

Mainstream media overall circulation numbers continue to trend downward, taking advertising rates and totals with them, resulting in downsizing journalism staffing, while internet news sites are getting nore attention. Nobody will pronounce upon Progressive reporting, it will just continue getting less and less attention, earning less and less money, and supporting fewer and fewer highly paid reporters and all their suport staff, until one day the world will realize the Progressive press went the way of the buggy whip.

Andrew Breitbart’s reasoning for setting up the Huffington Post is interesting. See here.
