Doocy is usually the only one who asks a tough question so this makes a sense.
So much of left-wing punditry these days revolves around efforts to shut down speech. You know, to save “democracy.”
The best part of this, though, is the notion the cnn is a real news organization.

how does one become a writer at a major newspaper without understanding basic civics or the most fundamental aspects of american governance?
the constitution rejects direct democracy -- and yet these people keep pretending that it's some kind of baseline of good governance. it's just amazing. there is no popular vote, never was, and yet they write about it like it's a real thing.
none of this is to even mention, that all of his arguments are incredibly misleading.

Another example of anti-2A activists leaming heavy on this quote -- taking it completely out of context -- while ignoring the rest of the ruling, which upheld the right of individual gun ownership as it was "known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation."
The Scalia quote is taken from the section in which Heller specifically mentions "concealed carry" laws and "unusual weapons" and weapons for the "mentally ill." Semi-autos are not unusual; there are hundreds of millions of them in circulation.
And, of course, banning open carry would have struck any American in the Founding generation as tyrannical.

Absolutely. (Setting aside his false claims that Rittenhouse was a "militant" or that he was "heavily armed" or that he was "provoked" rather than physically attacked. Americans have a right to defend themselves when attacked by rioters.)

This line of argument is always a kind of projection. They assume your defense of the second amendment is racially motivated.

Not only is it unlikely to be true (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…) it is completely irrelevant. The idea that two highways with low bridges make the entire system racist, is silly.
In the mid 20s, when the Southern State was built, the minority population of NYC was tiny. If anything, it kept immigrants away.
By the end of 1970s, when I was a small kid in Queens, we took the bus to the beach with all races and creeds.

It's clearly stated in Article 12!
It makes sense that @JoeNBC, who is constantly misrepresenting the Second Amendment, thinks abortion “specifically enumerated constitutional right.”
He also doesn't seem to understand the 10th Amendment.

I wrote my book Eurotrash (out in October!) to push back against the American Left’s championing of contemporary European ideas. One of the most dangerous has been the normalization of censorship.
For example, in Scotland right now, a feminist activist named Marion Millar is facing *2 years in jail* if convicted of sending “transphobic” tweets. She was charged under Section 127/2003 Communications Act, which criminalizes “grossly offensive” messages.
Millar is an accountant and mom of twin autistic boys. One of the tweets she is being prosecuted for features a picture of ribbon placed atop the colors of the suffragette movement.
