Where did they get the idea that they had the authority to vote away the second?

Something I thought I'd toss in here since we're cussing the US Senate. It's high time we did away with direct election of US Senators and restore the state legislatures' powers to elect them. That's the way it was originally set up and that's the way it should have remained. Direct election has just about completely decimated the power of the States and it's not good.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

The Senate was supposed to represent the interests of the States as government entities, not individual state residents. For the latter, folks had US House Representatives. It was a balance of legitimate interests that the Founders carefully worked out. The Seventeenth Amendment thew that delicate balance completely out of whack, and we've been seeing the consequences. PS The same folks who pushed for the Federal Reserve and the Income Tax were the ones pushing for the Seventeenth Amendment, i.e., big money.

The problem is, if we try to go after the 17th at this point, the dems will want to redress several others, including the 2nd.

Blunt from my home state. He's retiring. I wish he'd have never gotten into any office. He has been a long term POS ... Talks out the side of his mouth all the time ..

Barrasso trying to be like Mitch, he is disappointing. What the hell was Barrasshole thinking when he voted for this? We had Liz Cheney turning into a Democrat/Traitor and now this. I thought McConnell was born with two heads, but it was just Barrasshole peering over Mitch's right shoulder to get his face in the camera.

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

It’s threads like this that should remind us all, just how big a problem we have. I cringe when I hear people talking about the red wave coming in November, or how much better off the country will become once “we” take back the Senate and the House. I really like the idea of The Great Reset, just not the one the globalists have in mind.

Direct election of senators made it too easy to purchase votes. Look at Beijing Mitch. His personal wealth and that of his in-laws makes him beholden to the CCP.

I used to call his office about issues that were in the works to express my thoughts and his people were some of the most rude I've ever encountered. He comes from a family of self serving RONOs.

It's time to realize, the nation was toppled in a bloodless coup decades ago.

No matter what law gets passed anything 2nd Amendment has to pass through the Supreme Court. It's too sensitive for any law to just be accepted and implemented without some kind of Supreme court action. There must of been something else in that bill for Grassley and Ernst to vote for it. Since we don't really know what is in the bill none of us know why they voted that way. There has to be something in it that got their "yes" vote.
kwg Ernst was on TV pushing for US military action in Ukraine. Now we know shes on the take.
