Jerrold Nadler Amends Second Amendment
The precious Second Amendment, upon which all our other liberties rest, read as follows:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The text is different now that prominent Democrat congresscritter Jerrold Nadler has amended it:
Nadler was speaking in opposition to H.R. 354, which would reform the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act that recognizes the right of law enforcement officers to carry a concealed weapon in certain federal facilities and across state lines, whether off duty or retired.
He said he was quoting the Second Amendment. Actually, he misquoted it by leaving out the crucial words “of the people.”
No one expects Democrats to be enthused about our right to defend ourselves. However,
as a member of Congress who has sworn a solemn oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, including those parts with which he may disagree, Nadler’s omission demonstrates something more like contempt than principled opposition.
Behold the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, who will presumably once again be the Chair if Democrats take Congress:
WATCH: @RepJerryNadler reads “the People” right out of the Second Amendment
