Great quote from the daily Patriot Post newsletter

[skeath]

"So a new USA Today poll showed that only 49% favor Congress passing a new gun control law. So, as James Taranto pointed out, if we take Obama's claims at face value (and who would doubt his integrity?), then we've had a 41 point drop in support for background checks in five days. Wow, they really just face planted on this issue. ... It's pointless to stop a criminal from getting a gun once; you have to stop him every time. And you can't. Trying to keep criminals from getting guns is pointless. And if you do that by disarming law abiding citizens, it's also evil. If you want to prevent gun violence, work on the assumption the criminals already have guns. Pass laws aimed only at criminals like tougher sentences for any crime involving a gun. And make sure citizens can be armed so that being a violent criminal is a very dangerous thing. And get rid of the idiotic 'Gun Free School Zone' signs that basically say nothing but 'here is a great place for a mass shooting.' These are the only logical options available. If your emotions keep you from seeing the logic, you need to excuse yourself from this issue because you're unable to think straight on it."

He can't get the Socialist society he wants as long as we have the Constitution. Remember, the reason there is still a 1st Amendment, is the 2nd Amendment.

He can't get the Socialist society he wants as long as we have the Constitution. Remember, the reason there is still a 1st Amendment, is the 2nd Amendment.

The constitution is nothing more than an old piece of paper. It is We the People who give it power. It states the ideals this country was founded on and names some but not all god given rights.

Even without it those rights would still exist however the founders wrote the document to discourage the government from infringing on those rights.

As long as the people are willing to stand and fight for the rights so many have died for those rights will be secure. When we are no longer willing to defend them they will be lost, whether we have the constitution or not.
