President-elect Trump’s first big endorsement was from the NRA and now his pick to head up the U.S. Justice Department, Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, had to talk about the Second Amendment during confirmation hearings:
(Sessions) “Well, I do believe the Second Amendment is a personal right.”
Though as potentially the nation’s chief prosecutor, he agrees with laws that make use of firearms during crimes, a crime itself:
(Sessions) “I think that’s a legitimate and responsible restraint on the Second Amendment.”
Ed.: So much for Sessions being pro-2A. |

Seriously?
I live in Alabama and have followed Senator Sessions for years. He is definantly PRO 2A.
What is WRONG with making armed crimes serious offenses?
Do we suppose that criminals ought to enjoy a "right" to use guns -- make armed robbery & murder legal -- THEN IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE!!
We are going to be our own worst enemy if we don't make it REALLY hard on CRIMINALS when they use guns.... |

Does it bother me that Sen. Sessions approves of anti 2A legislation like the Brady Bill? Yep.
Do I care that future AG Sessions approves of unconstitutional laws already on the books?
Not really. I'll gladly take an AG who believes in enforcing all laws as written over any law ignoring AG we've had in the last 25 years. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
