They Won’t Stop Until They Repeal the Second Amendment
< < Go Back
by Charles C.W. Cooke,
One has to wonder what, exactly, it will take in order to convince the commentariat that to insist, “Nobody wants to take your guns,” is to indulge and to perpetuate an obvious lie.
Polling shows that around one in five Americans wants to abolish the Second Amendment and institute a total ban on the private ownership of firearms—and yet it is broadly maintained in the press that “nobody” holds that position. … The New York Times runs op-ed after op-ed calling explicitly for repeal of the Second Amendment, and yet the reflexive response is to cast those who object to this posture as “paranoid.” Even when the demand is made by a former Supreme Court justice—more specifically, by the man who penned the revisionist, absurdist dissent that came so alarmingly close to being Heller’s majority opinion—still his words were waved away.
Of late, it seems that the habit has become a pathology.
