Farrakhan: Right To Bear Arms An Outdated Concept

Farrakhan… Right To Bear Arms An Outdated Concept:“See, the right to bear arms was given at a time when there was no regulated militia to protect America,” he said. “But now you have police well-armed, you have state troopers well-armed, you have the National Guard and you have federal troops.” Farrakhan would have us believe that government “gives” rights. A useful supposition when your goal is to have the government take them away. Which is the vile sort of logic the employed by the Nazis when they sought to separate the Jews from their lives. Which, come to think of it, might very well play into what Calypso Louis has been after all along.

  • Wrong, Farrakhan. WWII, we had police & military. Right after Pearl Harbor was bombed, Hirohito wanted to invade the mainland with troops on the ground because the military was thin and in chaos at that point.
    His advisors talked him out of it, saying that if they invaded America, there would be a gun behind every blade of grass. WE THE PEOPLE prevented that invasion - not the police, not the military and not the government.

  • My rights are GOD given. The problem with idiots like Farakan and Obama is they have elevated themselves to be gods, aka false idols that I will never worship.

  • So if its outdated why does screw ball Lewis have an army of armed bodyguards with him at all times. This fool has for years scremed that police couldn't be counted on or trusted in the black community. Now to advance a disarming agenda he's sing the praises of us now. What a crock of pure bull shit.

    • The guns he wants confiscated are the legal ones, that would leave the majority of the guns in the hands of criminals and his followers.

      • Looks to me like confiscation of legal guns, and we all know that's the only ones that will be confiscated, is a racial thing. They want to disarm YT, and leave all the illegally owned ones alone.

  • Louie the loonie can take his Nation of Islam, and his NBP followers and promptly leave the country if he dosen't like our constitution. But we know that won't happen, then he and his followers might have to work for a living.

  • Hmmmm... How about if we said that the 13th amendment was outdated? See how that works, Louie? Amendments are generally made because they are good ideas. They are not made to be broken later on down the road when different people come into power or when public sentiment changes. (Lets not think about the debacle of the 18th, OK? we fixed that eventually.)

    Oh, and by the way, Louie, the constitution does not GIVE us our rights. It only explains what our inalienable rights are, and stops the government from treading on those rights. So, the 2nd amendments is not why we get our guns - its why YOU and your buddies cant TAKE our guns. There, wasn't that easy to understand?.

    • Very well put. But Calypso Louie wouldn't be able to decipher it. Nor would any of his followers.

      • Or anyone else on the left and a surprising number of conservatives. Actually, when you look at the reasons for prohibition, it made a fair amount of sense. It just didn't account for people like the Kennedys who were trucking in black market booze and making a fortune. According to the original ammendment, people could still make booze at home for their own consumption. Lots pf people started brewing their own beer and making their own wine. And where do you think the term "bathtub gin" originated? But (surprise) criminals saw a way to make money and there we were. Sort of like after we are all disarmed, the criminals will have everytype, model and size of weapon and ammunition, while we will all be sitting ducks for the various forces listed who ARE armed.

  • Okay Louie, let's start getting rid of guns by disarming your security guards. It would be a good start and have the beneficial side effect of reducing the Chicago homicide rate.

  • Since Farrakhan thinks we don't need to bear arms, I would like to rip his off and beat him with them.

  • The day he leaves this earth I will have a party. Could you imagine if any of us bible/ gun people said half the racist,sexist,anti american,anti any relgion but ours,disgusting things this man has spewed and promoted over decades. We would be shunned and locked up. This mother****er is going to celebrated when he goes to meet allah!!! DISGUSTING MAN!

  • Apparently having a bow tie too tight can really cut off the blood flow to the brain. Louie belongs in a care home, where he can bitch and moan all day long outside on the patio by himself and no one will care what he says there either.
