He’s a former Supreme on the pages of the NYT. This is not a bogeyman. It’s not a fantasy. One of the more admirable things about this round of gun-control debate is people’s willingness to be honest on this front. Let’s not close our eyes to it.
he is a retired justice who was talking about ways to get quick legal change on access to weapons. he is not an elected official or part of any effort to repeal 2A. it is a bogeyman to keep people scared and as such resistant to ways to stop the shootings.https://twitter.com/A_O_Andy/status/978960059291103232 …

Chris’s point is that he’s in no position to push for any type of repeal of 2A & he’s apart of a very tiny minority in the gun debate.
-
That minority is very powerful and accounts for three Repeal the Second Amendment op-eds in the NYT in less than a year. It’s a thing.
-
I imagine over a dozen op-eds have been published in the NYT about the gun debate in that same time frame. It’s a position a few people have, sure, but to suggest the 2A is in serious jeopardy due to this minority opinion is disingenuous & fear mongering.
-
To suggest people reacting to three op-eds in the NYT (and numerous other messages) amounts to naught but paranoia is disengenuous. You can’t have it both ways.
-
Is it? If these comments came from Chuck Schumer or were the forefront of the “march for our lives” movement, I could understand the fear. However, neither of those are true. People are often susceptible to the loudest voices which unfortunately tend to be the most extreme.

I believe they have: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/380135-parkland-student-corrects-fox-im-not-against-the-second … Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped right-wing media like Fox News from painting the pro-gun control side of the debate as “anti-2A.”

Had Clarence Thomas even DRIVEN BY A SIGN that said "OVERTURN ROE V. WADE" your head would come to a point and white smoke would come out of your ears you'd be so APOPLECTIC at the POSSIBILITY it could happen.

Old: "No one is talking about repealing the 2A" New: He's a retired [Supreme Court] justice. He's not an elected official.https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/27/politics/john-paul-stevens-second-amendment/index.html …

Just because he is a retired Superme Court justice doesn't means he gets a pass from getting called an idiot. He, OF ALL PEOPLE, should know the law doesn't get changed overnight and his suggested to outright repeal one of the first ten admendments is very very dangerous.

Did you somehow miss all the signs at the march demanding repeal of the 2nd amendment? Did you miss the speakers calling for it?
