John Paul Stevens: Change Second Amendment to Remove “Any Limits” on Government Power

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens supports gutting the Second Amendment in order to remove any limit on government infringements on the right of self-defense.

Stevens made clear that the amendment would clear the way for a national ban on private ownership of the means of self-defense.
Via National Review Online:
In his new book Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, Stevens — who generally favored maximum government power during his 35-year tenure on the high court — proposes, among other things, changing the language of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that the amendment would read, “ . . . the right of the people to keep and bear arms [when serving in the militia] shall not be infringed.”
Stevens acknowledged in an interview Sunday that this would remove “any limits” on government power over legal gun owners.
“I think that’s probably right,” Stevens said on ABC’s This Week. “But I think that’s what should be the rule, that it should be legislatures rather than judges who draw the line on what is permissible.”
Stevens said his proposed amendment, and a potential nationwide gun ban, would be closer to the original intent of the framers of the U.S. Constitution than the amendment the framers actually wrote and adopted.

Do you agree or disagree with retired Supreme Court Justice Steven’s assertion that the framers of the Constitution did not intend private ownership of firearms?



So much for the "Oath of Office" to protect and serve the Constitution!! Where do these people come from? "The right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed"... God help our Country with traitors like these in power??

What’s holding up the Missouri 2nd Amendment Preservation Act


According to Ron Calzone at Missouri First, even though the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act senate version was rejected by the house yesterday, it’s “poised to pass.”




The house sponsor, Doug Funderburk, wants to remove penalties from the bill – known as the “ineligibility clause.”


This clause says that any federal official who violates a Missourian’s right to keep and bear arms is forever ineligible from taking a Missouri law-enforcement job. It closes a loophole that would otherwise help feds to claim something called “Supremacy Clause immunity.” The short version, in practice, is that the feds could deputize local law enforcement to carry out federal enforcement. Then, that local law enforcement officer would be able to violate the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act, claiming that they were acting as a federal officer and not a state officer (the latter of which would be prohibited from enforcing federal gun control measures).
Read the actual clause here:

Residents of St. Charles, MO can take action.


Please send Rep. Funderburk an email right away (don’t call) — tell him you’re from St. Charles and want the ineligibility clause left in HB1439

Mr. President: I have tried very hard in the last five years to find your redeeming qualities, qualities that make you qualified to occupy the oval office...sadly I can find only one. You seem to have a gift for campaigning, but not leadership. You have taken every opportunity to divide this nation whenever possible. A …
