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 |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
