Sharpton on 2nd Amendment: ‘People do not have the right to unregulated rights in this country’

Via Don

 


Following a public policy meeting of African-American leaders, National Urban League president Marc Morial and National Action Network president Al Sharpton called for a new national assault weapons ban, saying the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should be regulated.

“The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not absolute. One cannot yell fire in a crowded theater and hide behind the First Amendment,” said Morial when asked by TheDC if he supports California Democratic Sen. Diane Feinstein’s assault weapon ban bill.

“And we absolutely think that the idea of banning a military style assault weapon, a weapon that I am confident that Thomas Jefferson and James Madison never laid their eyes on, is not inconsistent with the rights of those who self-protect, those who shoot, who want to participate in sporting and hunting,” Depends of what you are hunting, dorkhead.

    Funny how it is that only the tyrants would say out loud that RIGHTS are not absolute. First, you CAN yell fire in a crowded theater. If there is no fire, you will face consequences for mis using that right. The second thing, if you bother to read the actual accounts of what happened at Lexington and Concord, the lobsterbacks tried to confiscate 2 privately owned CANNON, along with powder and ball, and firearms. Kinda puts a stop to all the nonsense about "muskets" does it not??

      Yup and those, as well as WBTS cannon were deadly then as well as now. Load them up with nails whatever and pull the lanyard as the tyrants come close.

    The POTUS (you many drop the TU, if desired) announced that he shoots skeet a lot at Camp David. Now The New Republic posted a phony picture of him wielding what looks like an over and under. Taken down now. No, not a musket.

    In high school, I was allowed to leave at lunch on Wednesdays to load traps at the Buncombe County Wildlife Skeet Field on the French Broad River. I deny being a racist but O prompts me to report that in that far back day there was a common saying in NC. "If he's a skeet shooter, I'm a N----r aviator."

    Some things have not been improved on. Just reporting on life as it once was.
