It Ain’t Just The Jews.

I'm talking about the organization and money behind it.

Also true.

Which isn’t just the Jewish Cabal.

To a large extent, I agree. I think our system would be greatly improved if we had a run off system, i.e., two national elections. In the first one, everybody runs for office (rather than running for their party nomination). In the second election, maybe a week or two later, only the top two run against each other.

Or simply going back to the Constitutional Republic that we were founded as Vs. The Democratic every uniformed jackass and now illegals get a vote.

Overturning [the Heller] decision via a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the N.R.A.’s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation than any other available option.

That simple but dramatic action would move Saturday’s marchers closer to their objective than any other possible reform. It would eliminate the only legal rule that protects sellers of firearms in the United States — unlike every other market in the world. It would make our schoolchildren safer than they have been since 2008 and honor the memories of the many, indeed far too many, victims of recent gun violence.

Seriously, try it. Start the process. Stop whining about it on Twitter, and on HBO, and at the Daily Kos. Stop playing with some Thomas Jefferson quote you found on Google. Stop jumping on the news cycle and watching the retweets and viral shares rack up. Go out there and begin the movement in earnest. Don’t fall back on excuses. ... You’re going to need a plan. A state-by-state, county-by-county, street-by-street, door-to door plan. A detailed roadmap to abolition that involves the military and the police and a whole host of informants — and, probably, a hell of a lot of blood, too. Sure, the ACLU won’t like it, especially when you start going around poorer neighborhoods. Sure, there are probably between 20 and 30 million Americans who would rather fight a civil war than let you into their houses. Sure, there is no historical precedent in America for the mass confiscation of a commonly owned item — let alone one that was until recently constitutionally protected. Sure, it’s slightly odd that you think that we can’t deport 11 million people but we can search 123 million homes. But that’s just the price we have to pay. Times have changed. It has to be done: For the children; for America; for the future. Hey hey, ho ho, the Second Amendment has to go. Let’s do this thing.

I have never understood why we give judges such power. I know, it's been that way since this country was formed. But, it seems to me in recent years, these federal judges, and that includes the SCOTUS, have come down with decisions that have far overreached their authority.

For example.....the voters of Kentucky vote over 75% majority that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Some federal judge, in another state, says nope, you can't do that, queers can marry. That just does not seem right, at least not to me.

Heller was a closes brush with the repeal process.

I saw that. Sad thing is, there are at least FOUR left in SCOTUS that believe the same tripe.

I think Stevens is admitting that the 2nd Amendment means the people have the right, he just thinks they (we) shouldn't.
