Haven't we heard this before?
 
A call for a Second Amendment solution.

It's from the other side though. Do you think there will be a huge outcry? :rolleyes:

Yeh, his irresponsible claim mimics exactly what the NRA and nearly every Republican believes and says.

A Democratic congressman from Long Island implied that Americans should grab weapons and oppose President Trump by force, if the commander-in-chief doesn’t follow the Constitution.
What is wrong with that? Isn't that what the 2nd Amendment supposed for?

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.........................". Security of a free state is the operative word and how is Trump's actions not drifting away from it; first the firing of Comey, then McCabe, and now threatening to fire Mueller. And now he wants a rubber stamp Senate?

Yes, we heard it from the bumbling, incompetent current resident of the Oval Office, vs his infinitely more qualified opponent on the campaign trail. Red meat for his rabid idiot supporters. You, perhaps? Doesn’t make it ok for this guy, though I doubt he was serious.

Hey JJ, you missed out on posting a far more interesting story in your link.

Donald Trump Jr. romanced Aubrey O’Day during marriage to Vanessa

Like father like son. Melania's eyes, Stormy's boobs. While his wife was pregnant too. :D
Sorry the picture is too large to post.

Indeed it is one of the three reasons for the 2nd. If the people perceive Trump as a despotic tyrant usurping our democracy and denying us our rights as Americans we have the right to take up arms against him if all else fails. Afterall, it's why we rebelled against that despot George III. However, Trump doesn't come close to meeting this bar and if the head spinning fools take up arms to try and overthrow our president they will be deservedly crushed.

FWIW, a snowball has a better chance of surviving in hell than Trump has of obtaining a rubber stamp Senate. I'm also pretty sure that what's left of our democracy will survive Trump's FBI vendetta.

I would think twice before making that statement.
And why do you think there is nary a word from the GOP Congress regarding protecting Mueller's mission?

Absent a well regulated militia, the 2nd is heritage nonsense surviving on momentum.
And no, it does not grant a Constitutionally protected right to armed insurrection against Federal authority.

Your the one who needs to do some more thinking. :) Tell me how Trump is going to get a rubber stamp Senate when he doesn't have one now. BTW, pretty sure Trump doesn't need Senate approval to fire Executive Branch employees.

The answer to your question is because he's theirs. :D

I was being sarcastic and to point out the absurdity of the need for an armed militia in 2018.
