NYT Columnist: Let's Repeal the Second Amendment.....

[gamewell45]

Repealing the 2nd Amendment would be a pretty extreme leftist proposal. By definition that would not be a Conservative view.

Can you provide examples of some of the "right wingers" on board with the idea of repealing the second amendment??

I know of none in this forum if that is the question you are asking; I do know of a few citizens outside of here who would support a repeal while they admit its highly unlikely to ever occur.

Because they have a right under the First Amendment to print whatever they want regardless of whether they are right or wrong. If you are proposing censorship (and I hope your not) that would reek of fascism.

No.....but the consequences would be public humiliation, ridicule, and destroying the mopes credibility. Correct?

Wherein no one will take him seriously ever again. That works.....doesn't it?

That's the risk one takes in journalism. If that's the consequences then so be it. Everyone is free to form their own opinion on a journalist again because they are protected by the First Amendment.

I never claimed you were rich. You aren't. You have been manipulated by the rich to vote for their best interests instead of your own.

Well I was not really talking about you! Democrats in general claim that Republicans are the party of by and for the rich.

And as far as being manipulated? I can tell you that take home pay for our companies increase by just under 10,000 dollars a month. We are a small company and Thank You for understanding that just because someone is in the top 1% does not mean that they are Rich. Most people do not understand that.

So tell me where am I missing what Trump is selling. We for the first time in 10 years were able to offer a less expensive plan to our employee's because I don't have to worry about ACA fines. We are paying less in corporate taxes and were able to pic up and additional 15% of that cost as well.

The economy is great and people are making more money and that means more people can afford what wee are offering.

Because of the new tax laws my profits will increase and that means profit sharing will increase for all employee's and there tax rates went down so they are taking home more money.

I am all in on that. Tell me how is this not in my best interest

at the end of the day, what final solution do you have to protect the 1st Amendment?

I do not currently believe it's under attack, and as such I have no plan or solution.

No, no, no! The left assures us that they're not after our guns, remember?

[Grokmaster]

What about the right wingers who support repeal of the 2nd Amendment, do they get a free pass (there are some you know)? And what "consequences" are you talking about? Social stigmatization? Are people not entitled to take a position on a particular issue without being threatened with "consequences"?

Quote one.

Well to be technical they are protected by the First from the government. Not so much from people on the Streets as reality validates.

Correct; criminally, in most circumstances, they cannot be charged; however under civil and labor laws it is a much different scenario. As far as people on the street, unless i'm reading the statement wrong, people cannot be forced to purchase their newspapers/magazines or listen/watch their tv shows, so they have the power to dent their profits in that way if they so desire.
