hey, the second amendment is right in the constitution, and it has been ruled by the supreme court of the u.s. that it is a personal and individual right pre-dating the constitution. heller vs. washington, d.c.. you can look it up.
i haven't seen the whole thread/conversation, but the congress-fellow was apparently discussing the prospects of armed resistance to federal gun confiscation with another who was apparently advocating such resistance. (get into a big boy argument, expect big boy responses, it must be conceded. perhaps not-so-very-intelligent responses it must be observed, but you have expect the other fellow to swing back. doncha.)
but, the fellow apparently advocating armed resistance to the gubment probably didn't expect what happened next. the cali congress-entity got his umber up, and observed that any conflict between the gubment and private citizens, even if armed to the teeth, would be short-lived because the government has nukes. and, at least this congress-idiot implied that he would be quite willing to use said nukes on any one who would resist the government, whether acting legally and in accord to the second amendment. (john jay, first chief justice of the united states, alexander hamilton stalwart advocated of the federal bank, and james madison, future president of the united states argued in "the federalist papers" that such resistance to government tyranny was essential in preserving our rights and liberty. never heard of 'em. never read the federalist papers? then you are part of the problem.)
now, the congress-person-with-the-long-dick which he had just stepped on quickly tried to back out of the plain import of what he'd just written, doing some serious backpedaling along the way, but, it does raise some interesting questions, doesn't it. (including what they teach these numbskulls in the cali educational system.)
for instance.--
for instance, assume some serious resistance to a gubment offensive in beverly hills, home of movie stars, would the cali congress-person have the u.s. of a. drop a couple nukes on Beverly hills, or los angeles proper? i think not, ... , why would he drop nukes on constituents.
but, say the gubment encountered some serious resistance to its efforts in milton freewater, oregon, not the home to movie stars and a serious concentration of snowflakes. in short, not the congress-idiot's constituents, and not particularly well disposed to dumb asses such as himself.
would he have any hesitation in dropping a small nuke on milton freewater, just to serve as an object lesson to the more stubborn of the voting populace? well, he said he would advocate that, didn't he? and, if the twirp had the authority, no doubt he would do it. after all, not many votes in the twirp's district up here in northeastern oregon. (our governor, a good card carrying socialist, wouldn't mind very much, bless her little dwarfish heart.)
(well, mess with the mean doggie, and the mean doggie bites you on the ass, doesn't he?)
but, in milton freewater we have some snow flakes, and a couple democrats, and some others not as well endowed with smarts as the general run of the mill population. it must be anticipated that congress-person-dumbass, he of the nuclear weapons aspirations, must anticipate incinerating a few innocents along with the gun nuts, he goes using nukes.
that prospect didn't seem to occur to him, nor cause him a second's hesitation in announcing his obviously dearly held fantasy. and, yes, of course, being one of the cali congressional community, he backs nancy pelosi for speaker.
do you have any doubt in your mind that this idiots pronouncements are simply asserting the most dearly held fantasies of pelosi and company. we sub-humans in milton freewater, with our quaint notions that the english language, as set forth in the constitution, means exactly what it says, are simply the expendable deplorables so much beloved by democratic thinkers, the country over.
as joe stalin once observed, you cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. after all, dead is dead, and why get all worked up over a tactical nuke?
