This was taken from a piece where Dennis Henigan was talking about the Parker case and the US court of appeals striking down D.C.’s handgun laws in finding that they violate the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. He states that the decision by the Supreme Court 70 years ago held that the 2nd Amendment firmly applies only to well regulated state militias. (What?!!)
I’m not going to link the whole video clip because it’s from the Brady Campaign place and frankly, it turns my stomach. Much.
Anyway, it’s no wonder he feels this way… listen to him TOTALLY misquote that very Amendment to twist it into what HE wants it to say. He completely leaves out “OF THE PEOPLE”.
Get this: He also says the 2A does not endorse the private ownership of guns for any purpose while in the *same* breath stating that the courts should not edit the Constitution and how the courts must interpret the Constitution as it was written by the framers. What a two-faced forked tongued hypocrite.
Welcome
What you'll find here: chit chat about firearms, family, randomness that catches my attention, and the occasional great shoe sale.

The basic thing that nerds like this believe is that the Bill of Rights gives rights to the people...oh, except for number two, because *I* don't like that one. Sorry Charlie, all or nothing.
It just really tweaked me to to hear him bloviating about how the Constitution shouldn't be edited, all the while COMPLETELY editing the 2A. What a self important pompous ass.
I was going to ask if you wanted me to email you a link to the entire video, but it appears that the Brady site took it down. Gee, I wonder why.
Yep, he is a butthole, plain and simple. Simple folk like you and me are not worthy to shine his shoes - just ask him.
This is the second time I have heard someone completely leave out, "of the people" when discussing the Second Amendment in the media. I wonder if this a new tactic that the antis are teaching their goons to use.
Watch for more of this sh*t in the future, and let's start calling them on it.
