NYT’s Fake Conservative Calls for Repealing Second Amendment
Earlier this year, in a supposed attempt to add more political balance to the op-ed pages of its (failing) newspaper, the New York Times hired conservative writer Bret Stephens. Stephens made a splash with an early column blasting the left’s climate change hoax – a column that caused a wave of outrage from liberal readers who threatened to cancel their subscriptions.
But if they were worried that they would have to grit their teeth through every one of Stephens’ columns, they needn’t have. Because from that point on, Stephens resolved to prove that there was really not that much difference between a liberal and a conservative. In fact, if you go by what he’s written in the pages of the New York Times, there’s literally no difference at all.
Let’s take a quick look at some of his columns from the past year:
“If you want to MAGA, Save DACA.”
“Roger Ailes, the Man Who Wrecked Conservatism”
“Only Mass Deportation Can Save America,” wherein he recommends deporting lazy white citizens in favor of foreign workers…
…and an unending slew of columns meant to please all the NeverTrumpers still wishing they could go back in time and rescue Jeb! from the jaws of defeat.
Not all of Stephens’ columns have been thinly-disguised liberal dog food, but he’s written nothing that could possibly exonerate his latest rant: “Repeal the Second Amendment.”
After some tired recitations of the usual statistics that liberals use to “prove” that gun violence is THE major threat to the U.S. way of life, Stephens says that the usual liberal arguments for gun control are flawed and relatively meaningless. The answer, however, is not to beat back those arguments with logic and reason; it’s to simply repeal the damn right to bear arms altogether. And like magic, he finds himself sharing the same ideological space as popular conservative icon Michael Moore.
Enjoy:
Repealing the Amendment may seem like political Mission Impossible today, but in the era of same-sex marriage it’s worth recalling that most great causes begin as improbable ones. Gun ownership should never be outlawed, just as it isn’t outlawed in Britain or Australia. But it doesn’t need a blanket Constitutional protection, either. The 46,445 murder victims killed by gunfire in the United States between 2012 and 2016 didn’t need to perish so that gun enthusiasts can go on fantasizing that “Red Dawn” is the fate that soon awaits us.
Donald Trump will likely get one more Supreme Court nomination, or two or three, before he leaves office, guaranteeing a pro-gun court for another generation. Expansive interpretations of the right to bear arms will be the law of the land — until the “right” itself ceases to be.
Only a tried-and-true conservative would refer to same-sex marriage as one of the “great causes” of our time, naturally.
We’re not sure who the audience is for this crap, but we guess RINOs have to have their political punditry, too. And if Mother Jones is just a tad too liberal for your tastes, Bret Stephens is your guy.
Insanity and treason is rampant at the NY Times and almost all of the “media.” They need to have their butts sued out of existence as they promote fake news and print lies. This is not the freedom of the press that the Founders envisioned. Get rid of all of them and weaken the commie left’s attempt to destroy our republic.
These people, can’t really call them journalist’s.
They want to report their own views, not the facts.
News papers used too and I use the past tense. Used too report the news as it is and not try to sway people by lying or putting their own views on things.
Fake news or corrupt news.???
Fake news or corrupt news.
Same results! Deception!
“Fake news or corrupt news.”
Perhaps those were the “2” of the “used two” mentioned above.
Ridiculous news. Never confuse people with facts after after they’ve already msde up their minds.
There view of the facts is the way they see the facts and trying to get them to see the facts as we/I see them is an impossibility. The only way to make them see the facts as true facts is use the old tried but true how; horses were made to drink water. Walk softly and carry a big stick.
That’s “SPEAK SOFTLY and carry a big stick,” one of many quotes from Teddy Roosevelt that we should be taking to heart. Now he too is on the hate list of leftist wingnuts. A few days ago they poured red paint onto the equestrian statue of the 26th President in front of the Museum of Natural History.
ALSO TRUE!
They all want to be stars, not reporters. Too bad they can’t dance or sing.
Both fake news and corrupt as can be.
Can’t agree more with you Cindy
they promote fake news and print lies.
Fake…name 1 one uno and only 1 !!
If you throw shit at the wall and try walking away a win…I will let you GFY !!
ONE with links !!
The picture they kept showing of the gun on the rug of the supposed Mandalay Hotel room, was in reality the F.B.I. BALLISTICS BUILDING. TRY AGAIN. ZIONIST PROPAGANDA!!
The 2 boys who shot up Columbine High School were Marxist Ashkenazi’s, and the only children they killed those who admitted they were Christians.
But that never made it on the TV. I WONDER WHY?? Not really.
BUT IF IT HAD BEEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!
The young man that shot Gabby Gifford and the others was a Marxist Ashkenazi.
Paddock was a member of ANTIFA. Their Leader is Michael ISSACSON a Marxist Ashkenazi College Professor. They cover their faces with bandanas since their big Khazar noses would give them away.
We have the list of ALL their names, and we WILL get them out to Americans.
Tell the Marxist Zionist LIARS, that the People of the United States of America will NEVER give up our weapons.
We know what happened to the Armenian’s!!
Tell the Ashkenazi’s who took over the History channel, that play Hitler 24 hrs a day, 365, not to forget Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky
because Americans haven’t!!
From the Tribe of my Fathers before me, Nepthali
What group are you a member??
Hebrew Americans who would love to see the entire Khazarian Mafia DEAD!
As a Natural born American I would like to see you both kill each other DEAD !!
Two birds with one stone…ya know!
What a fucking idiot you are !!
Yeah, we natural born American patriots/Naturalized American patriots would love to see all socialists/communist/liberals have that fate!!
redman in disguise….
???
And YOU mr, are an idiot.
Russia decided our elections…the fbi has been working feverishly for almost a year. Hard to find the truth when you are blinded by hate …liberals, such a loving bunch..bwahaha
The crap that has been spewed about the governments response to hurricane victims. Funny, you talk to the victims and everyone is happy, the politicians NOT SO MUCH…lol
DACA….let’s see, obeyme over steps and signs an executive order….just undoing his bull.
The bull about immigration, the whining about the wall, deportation ….
‘They’ also scream ‘racial’ when they don’t have a ‘better’ argument to reply with!!! Well–it ‘used’ to work!! Now that it doesn’t ‘work’ so well–they’re out of ‘ammunition’!!
Didn’t hear much about this, but have a white guy shoot up a black church….they are still talking about it.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/09/24/multiple-people-shot-at-tennessee-church-police-say.html
They need to be introduced to a short piece of rope and a tall tree.
If the rope isn’t new they will yell discrimination!
I’ll gladly buy a brand NEW rope and donate it!!!
DITTO!!!!
Yes,true…the BIG mouth lib’s are living proof the Snake-oil peddleers of the Old West must’v re-propagated themselves by didvine perpetuation…just keep on a’living…speaking for a news media,dont make them right. Just like a dog crossing the street don’t make him a school crossing guard. If the readers over 50 don’t speak up, we’re gonna continue hearing the bloated purveyors of lies.i.e. if U look at WHO is behind the big protests, sit-downs, Sports guffaws, therein lies the main reason. Attack HIM,not us. I thought NEWS media was about NEWS ?
People ‘over 50’ ARE speaking up!! Who do you think make up the majority of the ‘silent majority’? Where do you think ‘grounded’, sensible opinions are coming from? People with ‘real life’ experience- the ‘over 50’ group!! I used to be a ‘quiet kid’! Now I’m 75 and you can’t shut me up!! LOL!!!
TRUE!
simple solution to the problem..do not watch their news media, do not buy their newspapers, get a list of all their people who place adds with them, contact them , make complaints about the fake news..just like with NFL people quit buying their jerseys and other things stopped watching them on tv their rating and sales dropped big time..ALWAYS HIT THEM IN THEIR POCKETS AND YOU GET BIG RESULTS https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/06b30f1699bd46780d3212ccdd851ada75444f8c900fad9c4ff5909f6ca7e943.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8214987dcec181f2a2628666fff9acb41e07e4a229444e463c47be7fa37644ae.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0f26d9488c934040e966c2c57a48e09734101ccb7053616e3639b4ca048e0da8.jpg
Yes I am sure that the people will allow that to happen, NOT All these Democratic cities and states think they rule the country and they don’t. We need to take back our government from these freaks that have put us in the position we are in. The media is worthless today as they only report what they want us to read. They think we are stupid and don’t know what is going on. WRONG we The People are very smart it’s the big money that keeps these worthless politicians in office along with the corrupt media.
If you take over the media, you control the message to the masses – exactly what they have done and are doing. Most important position in any organization is the secretary who controls the information/message. Communism 101. Read “School of Darkness” by Dr. Bella Visano Dodd – lengthy, but amazing and so well worth the read. I knew her in the mid 50s and all she predicted is at hand, chapter and verse.
As much as I enjoy shooting sports, I feel quite uneasy about the bump stocks. They might be fun on the range but have no place on the streets.Hopefully whatever inventory out there exists, won’t be used in copycat acts of terror. The fact that he could have killed 500 people in 10 minutes time is very disturbing!
I have posted several times that what was heard and used was NOT a “bump stock” no matter WHAT the “press” or these officials are pushing. I have lived near Fort Drum N.Y. all my life and have heard and watched full automatic weapons of all kinds being fired. The weapons used WERE full auto and I also believe that the person that SUPPOSEDLY was doing the shooting was more than likely DEAD long before the shooting started, so that the narrative of a ‘lone wolf” could be spun. The “cover-ups” have already begun and the “gun control” screeching by the USUAL liberal loons started before the smoke had cleared.
HE WAS NOT a “LONE WOLF” It is my belief that there were SEVERAL “shooters”, and that overweight gambler didn’t have the Training to do what the “press” and “officials” are saying HE DID.
I would look at the “deep State” SCUM that exists that want all citizens disarmed so they can be easily CONTROLLED.
We could save 650,000 innocent lives each year by outlawing abortion.
You could save even MORE lives by outlawing GLOBALIST “progressive” democommies and rino “elites” that are INFESTING our “government” and Washington DC (OSCUMBAG and his ofa “organization”)
among MANY anti-American “groups” (COMMUNIST) that seem to be springing up since PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ELECTED to clean up the “SWAMP”.
One more conservative Supreme Court justice and we can over turn Roe vs Wade.
Once again the Greedy Evil DemonCrap COMMUNIST Traitor Pigs are farting in our faces and trying to distract us from the REAL PROBLEMS! THE NUT JOBS!!!
Another LibTurd RINO … like we needed another one. John McRINO has already won the RINO award, so you are wasting your time trying to be the RINO hero.
Why agonize over NYT or any of its writers? It doesn’t play in Peoria or many thousands of other places.
That is the smartest thing I have heard in a long time, it is a good feeling thought
The reporter is to find out the “WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY (hold the opinion). If I need one (opinion) I will ask for it. As for the real reason for the Second Amendment is to allow the people to keep the Government in check and protect oneself. If you think the Government can’t go awry just look at Spain. The vote was stopped.
Hell, we don’t have to go any where else. Our own Government has gone Awry, hopefully in time Trump can drain the swamp.
It’s getting old hearing from those who only want to take away our rights. These are the same ones who have nothing to say when a muslim commits mass murder. They only get loud when they can hurt the citizens that don’t buy their opinion.
This Las Vegas mass shooting was FBI or CIA, maybe both….every time these false flags happens…is a sign that Americans need more guns not less or none. Stand on the 2nd Amendment.
He forgot to mention the LAZIES on welfare, Antifa also those who want us to give up our property….He should leave too!
People like Antifa BLM and many more are on Soros payroll, to be able to get around the country to destroy (protest) tells you NONE of them work, have no idea what work is about. They all think communism is their savior which proves their stupidity as Communism has never worked any place in the world!
All my Americans, General America,, American Place, Fix The Nation,,,,,
Bret Stephens was a disgrace (positively not a conservative) at the WSJ and, apparently, now an unfettered disgrace, masquerading as the in-house conservative at the NYT. What an UTTER fool, but he is now among his kind at the NYT!
the so called FREE PRESS of today are just PROPAGANDIST OF THE COMMUNIST LEFTIST TODAY.
and with ALL THEIR FAKE PRESS ARE CAUSING SEDITION AND SUBVERSION OF WE THE PEOPLE, AND OUR REPUBLIC.
THEY ALL NEED ARRESTED AND SO CHARGED.
Let’s see who votes for it. Bring them out in the open. We’ll knock them off in the voting booth!!
Takes one to know one!
once again NYT ! shut the hell up ! you stupid shi- you wouldn’t know the difference a gun and a tree branch ! so don’t start talking about something you don’t have a clue about what its all about !!!!!!!
That would be great, but the NYT doesn’t have a clue about anything. A slew of LibTurds spewing lies.
Math lesson for the day: 0+0=0. Further, NYT+NYT=NOTHING.
Write this down. It will on the final exam.
God for give me the 9/11 terriost planes should have hit the times building and the UN
NY COMMUNIST TIMES. SCREW UP AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON!
I have never met a conservative from NEW YORK CITY. I was raised in REAL NEW YORK where there are actually some conservatives this if you want to call him a Journalist is an unabashed liar for even trying to say it and so is that Toilet Paper of a RAG he’s working for. MORE FAKE NEWS THE NEW YORK CRIMES maybe he should write about all the SLAVES they keep in the Drug Infested Crime Ridden Public Housing System they Roll out during ELECTION Cycles. But then that would be Journalism now wouldn’t.
Totally agree, MajorPain, so were we.
I was born in 1947. I say that because i remember the Korean war, the Cold War, the Vietnam War
What is “fake” about Mr. Stephen’s opinion piece? It is not a news article, – it is clearly identified as opinion in a column by a respected NY Times columnist. He is not reporting, he is providing commentary which is something that newspapers have done since time immemorial. Mr. Stephen’s commentary is meant to be provocative – to make people think about an issue of considerable debate in our country. The second amendment is no longer necessary since we no longer use citizen militia’s which have been essentially replaced by the National Guard.
Really Bernaldo? How many guns to you own/have in your home?
Dear G-d, what a crock of s**t from LeeRoy and Daisy Mae. Anything that doesn’t agree with Supreme Leader Trump, gets passed down by the Reichsführer to the Brown Shirts, and we get an absolute storm of nonsense from the far right. Fake news. Real Americans. As if there are FAKE Americans. We the People. Yada, yada, yada.
Joe Davis the loser commie is back at it again, still crying because Trump beat his woman. Loser!
You wouldn’t recognize a “commie,” if one kicked your a**, while wearing a name tag that said “Hello, I’m a commie.”
Oh, there’s something I missed. There’s now a REAL NEW YORK, where (one supposes) an enclave of CONSERVATIVES are holding the line against the encroaching tide of communism and socialism, apparently spreading from NYC. Only in the fertile mind of the far-far right, can pigs fly over the rainbow.
Clearly a liberal fool.
262,000,000 that’s the number of people murdered by governments that disarmed them in the 20th Century.
Yes then the miscreants can kill us all!
REPEAL the second amendment? We would rather recall your ass. This Country was built on the RIGHT to bear arms, try taking that away and trust me, Democrats will pay and pay big. You fools think gun control is going to stop criminals from buying them on the black market? Do you think Americans don’t have the right to protect their homes and family? Of course you do, because you idiots are so out of touch with American citizens. Hell, obeyme just gave arms to the drug cartel or are you idiots thinking “Fast and Furious” was just a video game? Your ignorance is of epic proportion. If American citizens allow the Democrats to do what they want, we will all be running from bullets, I can only pray they make it to your asses first.
He’s no Conservative.
If they attempt to take the guns from American citizens—–well lets just say it would be a mistake
They are attempting & have been since the illegal traitor (OBAMA) snuck into the Presidents office.
Be very careful, leftist dolts…The first, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, thirteenth, fifteenth, nineteenth, and maybe a couple more amendments will start falling like dominos. Besides, you leftist dullards are big on laws and disappear when it comes to enforcement. When we finally discover muzlim filth, and an FBI sting gone wrong were behind this latest shooting targeting white people the ball will be in the demotards’ court….
TREASON by the New World Order of Liberal Socialist Democratic Party MORONS, as a Veteran I will stand with the Constitution as it was written with my rights and these moronic stupid liberal idiotic butt holes and go to hell. USMC served proudly for America and will remained armed for her.
Thank you for your service and for standing for the constitution. Stay armed as the American Army for the Constitution is growing.
Another Old Vet who will stand with you.
Thank you and your service to this Nation
And another Vietnam Vet on your side Donald Lindsey. I strongly believe in the right to bare arms & will, if it comes to that.
You’re not alone brother! I’m a Marine veteran who served honorably and will also fight to the end and I know many, many more veterans who feel the same way both young and old who would gladly lay down their lives for our Constitution. I, as many others, firmly believe we’re on the verge of a civil war. All they have to do is try to remove our President from office and it’s on! Thanks for your service and loyalty! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8792bdc61c1319eaddf8505879f184a077f42ac1ea891453355a985269d477d4.jpg
Semper Fi and thank you for your service
Thanks brother! Semper Fi!
I was only a Fly Boy, U.S.A.F. ’69 to ’76 BUT my oath of enlistment came with “NO EXPIRATION” date!
My oath of enlistment states:
“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
Notes:
Domestic – not foreign or international aka traitors within!
Under the UCMJ it states lawful orders that do NOT go against the Constitution! Ergo if the officers and or President issue an unlawful order, to bad so sad!
Also take note there is NO EXPIRATION DATE ON THAT OATH!! I SERVED FROM ’69 TO ’76! As far as I’m concerned that oath is still 100% in effect!!
Count me in!!!!
Neither did mine from the USMC, thank you
WE Veterans, past, present and future need to stand shoulder to shoulder against the “CRAP” that’s going on! I’d prefer to see it resolved legally, no blood shed, BUT if the SHTF I have no problems sending some SAD ( Stupid Ass Democrat!! by Larifrog) to watch the grass grow from the wrong side!!!
These POS liberals can pass all of the unconstitutional legislation they want but they will pay dearly if they attempt to implement any of them.
The fact that they swore an oath to the constitution and flat out lied, doesn’t bother them. It is treason in my book and they should pay like any other traitors.
Obviously the “liberal media” journalists do not remember a major “fact” for reporting nrws. ( don’t brlieve anything you heat snd only half of what you see)! Most of them would fail Journalism 101.
This is a prime example of the MSM using “SO-CALLED CONSERVATIVES” to try to conduct pathways to their “RADICAL LEFT AGENDA”!!! All they can do is create “fake news with slanted comments” to influence people who can’t think for themselves and understand total BS!! They would love “A TOTAL POLICE STATE” with “NO INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS”!!! The “SECOND AMENDMENT” is designed to prevent this and why it was written and approved by our Founders !!! Ignore all the statements by this IGNORANT, ARROGANT FOOL at all times!!
The NY Times is another RAG that will be gone in short order……WHO CARES what they ever have to say………they will be gone, as with all the other rags out there……..apparently, they do not print “all the news that’s fit to print”……
That Horse has been DEAD and 1 Person has to get a Stick and Beat it Again and Again ! It’s Dead let the OLD Thing Rest in Peace !
Who the hell reads their crap? it’s isn’t worth the money. Their main goal is brainwashing , but I can take care of myself and don’t need perpetual liars telling me what is right and wrong or good vs bad. STOP reading and buying their rags!
AMERICANS are NOT going to ‘give-up’ their firearms no matter WHAT DC says or enacts, especially in these crazy times! ~ Not even LEO’s would enforce such stupidity as it would directly affect THEM when they are retired!
IT’S CALLED ‘NULLIFICATION’ by the masses!!!
Masquerading as a Conservative is deceitful along with other Leftists ideals. Cheat, lie, steal, just take it mentality will ALWAYS come to light. Their “Darkness” is destroyed when the Light dispells their gloom!
THEIR ‘ACTIONS’ give them away every time….as they try to hide behind their ‘words’!
A lot of Americans do not realize that most of the Media is owned or controlled by Bloomberg or Soros and the news people are told what and what not to say on certain things.
Bloomberg and Soros are the front men of the “NEW WORLD ORDER (AKA) ONE WORLD” and wants America disarmed at any cost.
They are the ones that disarmed Europe and created the Union of the countries (((EUROPEAN UNION)))) and you see how that is turning out, They Disarmed Australia and look how that is doing with rampant crime and citizens can’t defend them selves.
They fund the Muslim Brotherhood group know as BLM and they are the ones caught paying bus loads of thugs to agitate at some protests across the country.
Look at how they are bringing down Fox news because they don’t have the control that they would like to have with that venue.
America is the last holdout on being well armed at all levels and if they ever do repeal the 2nd. amendments, The rest of the constitution will soon follow.
The 2nd. amendment was put in for a good reason and even if you do not like guns, I hope you like the freedom the 2nd. amendment protects.
MSM Moto never let the truth or facts interfere with the fake story
There you have it, folks – the TRUTH of the entire, horrific debacle of Las Vegas, San Bernardino, Ft. Hood, Baltimore, Ferguson, Orlando, Sandy Hook, etc., DESTRUCTION OF OUR CONSTITUTION, thus our beloved America. Obfuscate any way you choose, the outcome is the same – DESTROY AMERICA!
You must see, “America Under Siege – AntiFa” on One America News Network (OANN). Follow the money trail to Soros, et al, see how this is nothing new but is now on the surface due to Dem-controlled cities, towns, etc. where the police have been ordered to stand down, allowing AntiFa thugs, marauders to attack anyone who stands against their ideology with no reprisal. The destruction reported at UC Berkley was one hundred thousand dollars, but the media totally ignored the FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR damage to the city/town because cops were told to “stand down”. What about Ferguson, Baltimore, Occupy San Fran, Occupy Wall St, etc., all the same organizations destroying everything they choose. Remove the Stars and Bars, remove any statues of Founding Fathers, remove Columbus, remove God, remove any parts of history. – anything to destroy our beloved America, our Constitution, our very way of life all in the name of Fascism, Communism, Socialism, RINOs, NWO, globalism, no borders, Democrats.
Hey this should start bringing down the sensationalism. of the press. These people should be expozed and fired or the news agency shut down. There should be some jail sentences for these people for creating riots for what they have printed.!Wasnt it Brian Williams that was taken off the air for the very same thing? Yet Hillary and others can say whatever that fits there agenda. It got crazy when Obie 2 Tone said this young black man could have been my son!
The only fake news around is when Trump is jacking his loose jowls with diapers covering his lard ass. The media has standards, he doesn’t.
Our guns, being the most important thing on elitist minds, MUST be the only stop sign they feel must be obeyed.
why not send unarmed police into the ghetto ,see who will volunteer for that
This clown is about as conservative as Obama & Hillary.
NY Times is home to the Cowboy Journalist which are those writer’s who will design their stories to push or herd the public in the direction of forming an opinion they favor. During the election these same cowboy journalist did their best to drive voter’s off the Hilary cliff and put her in office but it didn’t work. Pay attention and sometimes you can catch a series of stories that seem over played causing a panic in our country. That is when the Cowboy’s are at work.
Man – The nuts running the asylum……
46k deaths in 5 years. OK, so we should also ban cars, vehicles which cause 35k deaths each year? So stupid! or calculating? to get attention and money!
This is a good reason the repeal the First Amendment.
And he isn’t the only one. Watch Fox, and Listen for: I am a Conservative but (Liberal lies and nonsense) every time they open their mouths. It won’t sell.
It’s pure Propaganda period!
It’s communism to the core and these stupid millennials are fighting for something they’re too stupid to understand! They’ve been indoctrinated into believing communism is a good thing but haven’t seen anything about the darker side of it. Most of them still look at obama as the best thing since flush toilets but are ignorant about his goals for the muslim takeover of America with the elimination of whites and Christians. Convert or die! In 2001 I worked for the local newspaper selling ad space. We got a new director and during her tour she boasted how we were part of a larger newspaper chain with over 100 other newspapers in the chain. I replied “well that’s dangerous” she apparently didn’t appreciate it because a short time later I was released without reason because my state is an employment “at will” state and you can get fired for no reason. To this day their main source of world, national and state news is nothing but Associated Press sources which is the main generator of “fake” news. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5734f4f549945deab4f2e74cb83c81c1a3c3cc0d8cfe89dc8345961a9fb98d58.jpg
This underwhelmingly ignorant idea puts the cart before the horse. First, confiscate all the illegal guns. With only rare exceptions, those are the vast majority of guns used in crimes. Incidentally, after that, there will then be no need for taking legal guns away.
I don’t know him, I don’t read him, and I could care less what he has to say about the 2nd.
Congratulations, you are normal! The audience NYT courts generally is… the rest of the media. Most of the network hacks start their day with it before rolling into work where the other half awaits: talking points served up fresh, by or for the DNC. For some reason, journalism schools don’t highlight that they used to be a patriotic publication with some left leanings – but that was in the 30s. If you can ever dig up an old copy, the difference in tenor is night and day. But… better find a print copy [or microfiche not under their control]: the jackals go back and edit headlines and who knows what else in electronic archives these days. The revisionism required to accommodate a view of humanity and the world so broken is really quite breath taking, and exceeds religious fervor found anywhere else..
As an aside, it’s worth noting that Marxists operate primarily in a horizontal structure – Americans are so used to viewing things vertically, it’s easy to make a mistake in thinking there is a “head of the snake”. It’s never a matter of ‘who’s in charge’, it’s a matter of what is agreed upon at cocktail parties and coffee klatches of certain “connected” people. There are a scant handful of private companies/ventures in the world that operate in horizontal fashion: action proceeds only with unanimous agreement, which is why they appear to march in lock step, but horizontal structure is generally not found in the private sector. [I exclude partnerships, as not enough people are involved to qualify as an economic system]. Alot of textbooks [especially economics] wrongly take Marx at his word and say communism has no formal structure, but that is a physical impossibility when managing people large scale: the best they can do is a committee, which is to say some special group of ‘made’ men agree – the people…are nowhere in sight in a communist run society; they are meat. The only system with no formal structure is…Laissez Faire, but don’t use that answer on your CFA test if you intend to pass.
Spot on, George.
YOU BETTER STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR SAYING. YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU! GET MY MEANING ?
NYT is owned by communist.
I recall they generally had a collective orgasm at NYT every time Castro came to town [for a UN visit, or whatever]. Its a publication that has been rotting on the vine for a long, long time.
I recall smelling an awful smell when we walked by the NYT across the street. They are traitors to America.
I think we need to repeal the 4th Amendment, too many criminals are getting free on technicalities and causing other crimes. Repeal the 4th and I’ll go along with removing the 2nd.
Not likely unless in the most extreme case they might get them one bullet at a time! Not a pleasant thought
Can’t wait till the right ‘ceases to be’. They are a bunch of lunatics and not, by and large, well-educated. Trump is what happens when ignorant people vote! And we’ll have the conservatives to thank if this nauseating excuse for a president starts WWIII.
Dear Agnes … are you for real? You think that the right is a bunch of fools. Maybe you should look at what people think of the LibTurd Loony Left and the web of lies they spew. The POTUS is trying to make America a safer, better, happier place to be and you are too stupid and ignorant to see it.
If you enjoy stupid, move to California (if you aren’t already there) with the rest of the LibTurds and a governor who is truly the worst governor in the country. He is ruining the state of CA and most of the people there are too superficial and materialistic to see it or care one way or the other. I’d rather live in Iraq than live in California.
I will pray for you.
You’re late to the party Agnes, and missed the biggest “mistake” in our political history that may prove to be a crime against humanity. Hillary (after getting Russian gifts into the ‘Foundation’) gifted Russia with roughly 20% control of US fissionable uranium. The backend of that deal was managed by Kerry, who gifted Iran with billions to ramp up their nuclear program and buy supplies freed up by the deal with OUR tax dollars in the twilight of Obama’s administration. Now that Iran has accelerated their nuclear program [instead of knuckling under to sanctions that were about to achieve their objective], it probably doesn’t matter if mickey mouse was put in the white house. Threats to world peace and stability are growing, and may have achieved critical mass. Enjoy your coolaid.
Before we throw the Bill Of Rights away, lets go slow and Maybe we start at NUMBER ONE and Ban Freedom Of The Press To Lie. Maybe have a New Death Sentence for Lying News Persons, News Papers Or News Networks. By the time we get done Destroying America for good we can execute any Congressman or Senator that lies to the public or accepts money from other nations or from guys like George Soros’ or Bloomberg that paid Speaker Ryan to sell out his Own Party
I might put it differently. Since most newspapers are fronts for DNC talking points, make them do the right thing and become registered lobbyists. I don’t mind opinion, or a particular bent to a publication, but we need more sunlight. We can begin with those outlets coordinating with Hillary to make sure she got the questions ahead of time – a gift no republican received, and has monetary value that exceeds paid political advertisement. When roughly 90% in a “newsroom” give to just one party, I think they qualify and deserve a little FEC scrutiny. Once an organization is certified as a lobbyist group, then no more press passes and no more junkets on the chase plane following AF1.
So lets just outlaw the Auto .Those cars that start up and run over ppl lill lots more ppl than any gun that sits there .If its about saving lives the car does kill many many more than the guy . Lot less nut gun owners than nut car drivers
The author of the crap in the nyt (can’t capitalize because, well u all know why) isn’t a real journalist because he is a hypocrite. Hypocrite want to please everyone. I call these people ‘fence sitters’. Bret Stephens joins all the RINOS & SINO. They say or write anything that will give them their 15 seconds of fame.
“TRUE, HONEST TO GOD, TRUE JOURNALISM DIED QUITE A FEW YEARS BACK”!!
So long ago that the aren’t even worm food! Any flesh has been consumed by the worms years ago! All we’re left with is “PROPAGANDA” mongers! They tell you everything and ONLY what the puppet masters wish you to hear!! I don’t trust the LSM (Lame Stream Media) at all!
In actuality they are closer to being like the Russian Izvestia and RIA Novostiy, Gov.’t spin or Pravda if you like the tabloid news!!
They need to change their name from the NY Times to the NY Turds…They would not know real news if it hit them in the rear end!
Are there enough readers to notice? Any time somebody cold calls me and asks if I would like a subscription my answer is the same: “How much are you going to pay ME?”

I am guessing that you have never heard of Jews For The Preservation Of The Right To Keep And Bear Arms. But then when you are rabidly and blindly anti Jew, you obviously think that we don’t use your First Amendment Right to let us know you are there.
Whatever talent lies within the NYT is heavily repressed. I know this based on what was produced during a long ago strike where the banner was dropped, and a brief ray of sunlight was gifted NYC in something called Not The New York Times. The hammer weilded by editors today is of course to satisfy one very disconnected [trust fund type], very liberal American: Pinchy. But they had help before anyone picked up a copy of the latest drivel, so let’s go to the root.
The reason some people are genuinely confused about the lengthy and awkward wording of the second amendment happens because they focus on the gun part, trying to break out things into separate parts. This is not just a critical mistake, but attempts to break it into parts is why they never come back around to see the plain language. The key focus is the Militia, and recognizing the two components in place at the time of its making. First, we had a fledgeling government that arrived at its infancy with a volunteer army, and had not yet established a strong standing army. That’s not something to gloss over, because a failure to keep our government from foreign invasion would have resulted in a number of deaths in London square at the hangmans noose. Failure was not an option. What was in place? Governors. Governors with at least an imbued authority left over from colonialism, but in most cases were all in on the American revolution and also had something to fear along with the signers of the Declaration of Independence. They needed to be able to call out the citizenry to repel invasion or put down insurrection, and… that duty fell upon the citizenry. Does calling out citizens who don’t have arms sound like anything but stupid? Look at the LA riots, where the so called national guard pranced around… with no ammo, and everybody knew it – so the rioting and looting went on, largely unchecked. Why? Because the governor of California was not in control of his own armory – some out of state hack was. Even fire fighters were shot at during that miserable event, and they had no protection as the city burned in multiple locations.
Now since the constitution did provide for congress to form and maintain a standing army, why the second amendment? To preserve the power of governors in ]dealing with internal matters, with the notion that federal troops were to be maintained to handle most [but not all] national security needs. President Washington was given a gift [rather quickly, on account of imminent British reprisal threats] in the form of a congressional act that allowed the president to also call out Militia from various states, but… the governors were the first target of this designated power.
It’s all about the Militia, which is originally recognized as power given to the states or the people, respectively [per the tenth amendment]. You can’t switch off parts of the bill of rights and look at excerpts in a vacuum: courts attempting this are effectively repealing parts of our constitution without authority or due process, and you likely note that most alleged “intellectuals” angling against the second amendment are purposely avoiding the rest of the bill of rights.
They aren’t really avoiding the rest of the Bill of Rights, they are just conveniently picking and choosing the ones that they think can never be taken from them once they decide to yank the teeth (2nd amendment) out of the Constitution.
SCREW ALL OF YOU LIB/DEMS.——FOR GET IT. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU.!! THE ILLEGALS AND MUSLIMS CAN COME AFTER ALL OF YOU.!!!
Real Americans don’t give up their guns and Real Americans don’t try to take them!
The problem is the MORONS who will believe the BS. And there are SO very many.
The nyt makes a great addition to the bottom of any pet cage. Try it!
Too expensive.
You are right!
The NYT is un-American! They are subversive in their reporting and fake news is rampant on their staff. They need to be revoked by the people of America
The 2nd amendment will never ever, in an uncivil environment, be repealed. Probably when “they beat their swords, (weapons), into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks”.
Don’t you anti 2nd amendment advocates understand that “Guns don’t kill people, evil people kill people”. Your biased and hateful minds don’t let you reason sensibly.
When you get rid of guns only bad people will have them. Then how are you going to defend yourself?
There is no difference between Republican and Democrat. There is no difference between conservative and liberal, or between right and left. But, there is a vast difference between globalist and nationalist. There is the REAL difference. The huge split between globalist and nationalist has made everyone else look the same.
Just proves the only use for the NYT is housebreaking a puppy!
Liberal NY is second only to California.
Well at least this mental masturbator is safe and out of the way at the New York Times where no one of any real importance ever goes to find the truth.His words are as safe as were they buried in a time Capsule. No Problem.
