Rep. Tom Suozzi made the remark to constituents at a town hall last week, saying that folks opposed to Trump might resort to the “Second Amendment.”
“It’s really a matter of putting public pressure on the president,” Suozzi said in a newly released video of the March 12 talk in Huntington. “This is where the Second Amendment comes in, quite frankly, because you know, what if the president was to ignore the courts? What would you do? What would we do?”
A listener then blurts out, “What’s the Second Amendment?”
The left-leaning Democrat says, “The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms.”
Unsurprising that a New York SDemocrat voter hasn’t a clue what the 2nd Amendment is. More surprising that a Democrat NY Congressman doesn’t think the 2A just means that members of the National Guard may be permitted to own muskets. (The current Democrat interpretation of the Second Amendment).
In any case, PDT should think twice about his safety. After all, according to Generation Tide Pod (the wisest and most worthy among us), the White House is a “gun-free zone.”
This is why we need suspension and ultimately repeal of the 3rd Amendment NOW! It’s the only way to keep the children safe.
The left will soon point out that more than a few conservatives have cited the 2A as a backstop against tyranny.
Of course they’ve failed to point out any tyranny from the Trump Administration (other than the interminable tweeting).
Oh, and the total hypocrisy of the left on this. Again, lefties are all for violence as long as they’re the ones getting to choose the targets. No “live and let live” in that lot.
Recently, some members of the Australian government have advanced the idea of finding a way for white South Africans to emigrate into Australia given the SA government’s now explicit calls for expropriating property and killing of white people (Zuma sang songs about it). (A case for 2A rights if ever there was one.)
The left is going nanners which tells me that they’re good with genocide provided it’s people they don’t like being killed.
And lefties claim to oppose capital punishment. Bah.
Oh, and the White House isn’t a gun-free zone. The people that secure the WH are armed to the teeth with plenty of backup from their pals over at the Pentagon.
Tell the ditz in the pic to try running at the WH with a gun and then tell us what happens (assuming she survives it).
That was certainly true of World Wars I and II, where genocide was attempted by at least a couple of leftist regimes (the Young Turks and the National Socialists, respectively).
If the ditz’s workplace is not a gun-free zone, it’s only because its owner has voluntarily chosen not to designate it as such. The owner could prohibit weapons on the premises if he or she wanted.
Ever hear of “freedom of choice”?
As for the white South Africans, maybe they could join ISIS. Then Canada would accept them as refugees.
If the American people–God forbid–go to a ‘Second Amendment Solution,’ let’s just say that President Trump will be safer than he ever has been. What makes this moron think that normal Americans will be supporting his side?
Part of the Media Matters troll farm playbook has been to plant civilians masquerading as “Patriots”. They’re not. But some Leftists have believed the ruse & taken it to heart. They believe what they’re told. This includes Liberal politicians. Despite the Fact that the President & We The People revere the Constitution & the rule of law.
Spoiled lily white kids whose parents never said no to them.
And ask the ditz in the pic: if the White House, the Capitol, and the courts have armed guards, metal detectors, and monitored points of entry, why don’t our schools?
BTW, over 90% of mass shootings happened in designated gun-free zones.
Just want to say that I really enjoy you website.
Ahhh, the Tide Pod Puppet People; …Lead, Manipulated, and eventually Betrayed.
It’s amazing what you can do with peer pressure and stupidity.
anybody think the person that asked what’s the second amendment was a college graduate?
Deplorables cling to their guns and Bibles and are a constant threat to peace loving Progressives.
Progressives hate guns and deplorables. (Bibles are just silly.)
However, unhinged Progressives are quite likely to pop up and shoot someone. All that is needed is to trigger them.
Rep. Tom Suozzi is doing the Progressive dog whistle job. He is signaling for a Progressive loon to pump lead into POTUS Trump. Think: Steve Scalise and the Republican baseball team.
Ya Kaint fix stoopid!
@8 shove your racism you know where.
I can’t help but notice that when the progressives talk about guns owned by Right-leaning folks, it’s all, “The 2nd Amendment only covers muskets,” but when the progressives talk about their own guns, it’s all, “The Founders gave us guns to prevent the President from becoming a dictator.”
But that’s, as the meme goes, none of my business…
Suozzi did not get the memo from the DNC. The 2A is about the National Guard. Overthrowing the president is the FBI’s job.
Someone wants to outlaw the 3rd Amendment?
[Meaning this one?], it is as follows:
No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in manner to be prescribed by law.
