Alex Wagner, speaking as a part of a panel assembled by Bill Maher, was asked--by Maher--about what she'd change in the Constitution.
Wagner's response:
"Well, I'm going to be pilloried for this. I think get rid of the second Amendment, the right to bear arms. I just think in the grand scheme of the rights that we have; the right of assembly, free speech, I mean, owning a gun does not, it does not tally on the same level as those other Constitutional rights. And being more discreet about who gets to have a firearm and right to kill with a firearm, I think is something that would be in our national interest to revisit that."
The framers of the Constitution disagree with her:
George Mason: "...to disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States"
Tench Coxe: "As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."
Samuel Adams: "The Constitution shall never be construed....to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms"
Tench Coxe (again): "Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people"
Richard Henry Lee: "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike especially when young, how to use them."
There are literally HUNDREDS of other quotes by our Framers, which strongly convey the same message: The Second Amendment stands as the citizenry's final defense FROM OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, should the Government attempt to enslave the citizenry.
Wagner, who either doesn't pay attention to, or is simply ignorant of, history (as are most Liberals) doesn't seem to realize that, in a WHOLE 'nother sense, her statement that the Second Amendment, "...does not tally on the same level as those other Constitutional Rights...", is EXACTLY accurate: The Second Amendment is, without question, THE MOST IMPORTANT of ALL the Amendments to the Constitution of The United States, as it is the guarantor of all the other Amendments.
The question that Liberals (and ALL OTHERS) SHOULD be asking is:
WHO is it who wants to do away with the Second Amendment? And, then, ask: WHY?
The answer is as ABSOLUTELY unequivocal as it is obvious: LIBERALS want to do away with the Second Amendment. As to why? Simple: to enslave the American people.
Folks: Be VERY vocal with respect to preserving and defending the Second Amendment. You WILL need it, eventually, just as our forefathers did.
Hirota: out.
