Barrasso: ‘The Second Amendment is Freedom’s Safeguard’
U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, recently blocked an attempt by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to ban so-called “assault weapons.” Senator Barrasso spoke on the Senate floor on the need to protect Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
Senator Barrasso closed his remarks on the Senate floor by saying that he opposes any policies that jeopardize the Second Amendment rights of the people of Wyoming and across the country and the Second Amendment is freedom’s essential safeguard, without it, there can be no liberty and no security.

Again and again the GOP has demonstrated they do not value the lives of American Childern. Violent gun deaths are the number one killer of childern the USA. There has to be a way we can curtail this horrifying statistic and one of the ways is to ban the public from owning weapons of war.

The second amendment does NOT give people the right to own weapons of war meant for mass shootings. Obviously big money and corrupt politics is deeply embedded into this huge problem.

All our Rights and Freedom rest on the Natural Right to protect and defend our families and our selves. The second only codifies our Natural/Creator Endowed Right.
Hitler “banned the public” from owning guns, which led to his authoritarian take-over, WWII and the deaths of over 6 million innocent, defenseless souls. Let’s not repeat that lunacy.

No-Hiler did not ban guns. The Weimar republic passed a gun registration bill to try to keep guns out of the hands of Nazis and Communists, but by the time they did the National Socialists were already too strong. I really am tired of doing your homework.

No one needs a weapon of war in this country. Kicking this 55 gallon barrel down the road will not fix the problem.

In a free country, each of us determines our own “needs.” Gov’t deso not determine what you “need”…you do that yourself. And for centuries a sharpened stick was considered a “weapon of war.” Would we allow federal employees to determine our “needs” or to classify objects as “weapons of War”? Let’s not allow muddled thinking and political tyranny.
