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. |
There is a very big flaw in your argument. Every single one of those other "national emergencies" dealt with actions against other nations or foreign entities. Most often terrorist or rogue entities.. Not a manufactured crisis..
Trump's is the only one that's ever been directed at the domestic United States and to be used to steal people's rightful property. (aka their land as Trump can not build his wall with out taking people's property)
This is what you are arguing in favor of, stealing people's land who do not want to sell it.
Wasn't it also you complaining while Obama was in office that the BLM was taking ranchers land, now you support stealing rancher's land. because it's different now because "Republican" is doing it. I remember you ranting and raving about Obama somehow being at blame because of the BLM/Bundy ordeal. Where a rancher had set multiple fires once almost getting firemen killed, then acting like a terrorist on federally owned land..
Yet now you are ok when Trump wants to steal people's land.. Amazing how you change your convictions by whoever wins an election..
