Just educating you on the American Constitution and how it is amended.  |
Thanks Paul.
Pretty sure that you really didn't say much to me there. But okay!
This is a discussion of Pres. Trump using a "national emergency" Executive Order (as other Presidents have done dozens of times) to get funding.
Some Democrat politicians have declared (wrongly), that a future Democrat President could use such an Executive Order to take away guns from citizens.
My reply was that it would indeed cause an uprising in this country AND the Supreme Court would immediately rule it unconstitutional.
As I have said COUNTLESS times right here on GFY...
IF the citizens of the United States feel we should be disarmed by the govt., the CONGRESS needs to start the procedure in place in our Constitution to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
They had no hesitation in adding the 16th amendment about a hundred years ago to make it constitutional to take our money via Income Tax (something the Founding Fathers didn't want).
They also had no problems repealing and adding other amendments in the 20th century.
So IF anyone in the United States wants to be disarmed by their govt., it's pretty simple:
Vote for Congressmen and Senators who will repeal the 2nd Amendment.
