Lawmakers are learning how the Second Amendment curtails the First.

Last Wednesday evening, as soldiers went room to room clearing the United States Capitol of seditionists, I was on the phone with Michigan State Sen.

that the protesters had crossed the line from simply carrying weapons to brandishing them—making a threat. On Monday, the Michigan Capitol Commission decided to prohibit open carry inside the statehouse, citing the attack on Congress. It was an acknowledgment that—beneath the conspiracy theories, the presidential cult of personality, and the craven Republican Party—the big challenge to returning to any kind of political sense of “normal” is guns.

shortbu78536418 Democracy is overrated.

The 2A is a garbled 18th century mess, and is being further removed from reality with overwrought interpretations by recent generations of loud, selfish cowards.

What a silly idea, Why would people not assume White people arriving in quasimilitary groups, armed, bullet proof vests, Helmets, uniforms (sort of) might not be peaceful in their requests.. Talk of 'Second Amendment remedies' is also not helpful. So I cant see the point of this

OK commies

Time to put the “well regulated” back in the 2nd amendment
