Very unlikely to pass the current Senate, though a vote could make it interesting for some southern Democrat senators. But it might be fun to listen to the screaming.

I thought that the law "codifying" that right WAS the 2nd Amendment!

Ever since Dept. of Education was established in 1979 by the Commiecrats, the skills to read such a simple collections of words as the BoR are simply not being taught anymore.

I was sheltered from all these shenanigans, as I grew up and did grade and high schools in Puerto Rico ('76 - '89), where they still taught how to do readin', writing' and 'rythmetic in two languages!

The first time I heard "microagression" and "implicit bias" was as I was leaving the usaf in 1999, they were already teaching this .. I don't know what to call it.. this falsehood. They were mandatory classes called "Sensitivity Training".

Today it has a different name. But back in 1999, it was already being forced into USAF personnel's minds. That was in no small part a catalyst for me to not re-enlist then -- I felt it smacked of Commie thinking. The other big factor was the Commiecrats under Clinton breaking up the USAF into "expeditionary units" which... from what I gather, backfired horribly. You can't house tankers and fighters and cargo birds in the same airplane patch, they have very different support requirements. This is why each base used to specialize on one or two aircraft types. I dunno if they continued that ill train of thought, but after 10 years I chose to not stick around for the Kinder, Gentler Military.

Now I look and it's unrecognizable to me, the military. The solider on the ground is fine. What happened to the leadership?!

Everyone that votes for a demokrat in this day and age isn't gullible. They're downright stupid.

There's another explanation: Brainwashed since birth, by media (legacy and "social") and schools and peers.

True. But those of us voting for republicans aren't really voting for republicans, were merely just voting against democrats. That's the sad part and it's also what has to stop. We need more people running whom we're actually willing to stand behind and support for what they, themselves, stand behind and support, as opposed to voting for them just because they carry the 'R' after their name on the ballot. We need leaders! We need free thinkers! We need patriots! We need Constitutionalists! We need strength and excellence! We have none of that.

Graham, McCarthy, McConnell, Grassley, Collins, Thune, Blackburn, Romney, et. al., ain't it!!!

I would say that it's about time we wake up and get serious, but it might just be too late for all that at this point.

I don't vote for Republicans just because they're Republicans. I refused to vote in the presidential elections when McCain and Romney ran for president. I will never vote for fake Republicans (nor will I ever vote for demokrats because they're scum that hate our country and want to destroy it), especially ones like McCain and Romney that never were Republicans (as far as ideologies) to begin with. I've not voted for and will never vote for John Cornyn because he is in the category of a lame, weak, and pathetic excuse for a politician who kow tows to demokrats. I do vote for Ted Cruz because I fully support him as I do the current governor of Texas, Abbott. I currently reside behind enemy lines here in Dallas County, Texas and the congressional representative is a long time demokrat who seems to run unopposed, so I never vote in that race.

I agree that we do need strength and excellence, but, we seldom get it with our Republican candidates. Except, for my senator, Cruz and my governor. I'll continue voting for them. Unfortunately, I don't have a vote when it comes to the disgusting excuses for Republicans in other states like Lisa Murkowsky, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Collins, and many others. As far as waking up, I've been awake and watching and doing my part to route the demokrats since I've been paying attention to politics in the late 1980's. It just seems like my vote doesn't go very far.

There are only two adjectives that can describe progressive leftists and those who willingly vote for them and they are: stupid or evil. No other descriptive terms apply.

Think about it.

 

[SC shooter]

^^^^^ Absolutely right.

I would argue that "brainwashed" is a 3rd option. From birth, subjected to those teachings at home (if it's a Lefty home), at school from their teachers and peers, from the media in all forms, from tiktok. Just as we were taught different. We were taught the old ways. Hard work, respect. You want it? Work for it. That's not what's being taught today.

I think that the span from 1990 to now.. the Left did to the kids what the Germans and Japanese did to theirs 100 years ago... and look where that landed the world 20 years later. It was taught to them in their schools as literal fact, in both countries.

Just like this Leftist drivel is being forced down kid's throats now. Hatred for their country and their elders, taught as literal fact.

The war is being waged against us by the enemy within, and so few see it. It can drive a man to despair., I try not to think of it too much beyond being prepared.

I have an eerie feeling that we're in a period not unlike post-WWI Germany. Not quite there yet, but on the way. Once hyperinflation and massive job loss happens.. then we'll be there.

 

[Crab Boy]

Post WWI period. Thats a good analogy. Kind of looks like it's getting there. On the Communist side. Quickly.

I'd change out the word "or" to "and." Done.

 

[Bogeyman]

There is no need to "codify" that which has already been established in the U.S. Constitution.
All they need do is to present a bill that requires all political office holders to re-affirm the Oath of Office adn declare their recognition of the U.S. Constitution as the "Law of the land".
Then if they won't do it, or they vote against it, they are admitting they are in violation of their office, should immediately be brought up on impeachment charges, and they should be removed.

 

[longarm]

The gentle language of "should be removed" doesn't fly, however. They never grab these traitorous scum and try them.

Hanging? Fine. Firing squad? OK. "Sent down to the minors?" NFW.

 

[Gearheadesw]

This is why politics make me puke, the entire problem is we have both partys, nothing gets done, no one is right, everyone is wrong with our government.
Flame away, our politics and political system is broken, not working.

 

[Cosmopolitan]

I am so sick of all these bills 'permitting' us to do simple common sense things. Where else would one "bear arms" if not outside the home? Inside the home you're just "keeping arms". Another do nothing bill by a do nothing loathsome RINO Lindsay Graham.

There is no legislative solution to our problem, not in the long term.

could not disgree with you more.

 

[shawn mccarver]

Senate Republicans introduce bill codifying right to bear arms 'outside your home'

This gives the RINOs something to vote for so they can tell their pro-2A constituents how great they are. Even if it were to pass both houses (doubtful), it would be vetoed, and they could never muster enough votes to override a veto. It is all a show.

The problem with our government is a very common one that is universal. It's called corruption. It's something that the Bible describes when the Jews wanted to stop directly worshiping God and wanted a "king" (a human) with all of his human qualities (susceptibilites to corruption) to put in as a middle man to God. God warned us that man is corruptible and only God can rule fairly and justly.

Corruption is a universal condition with governments and politicians and people in general. That's why we have corrupt cops, corrupt politicians, corrupt judges, corrupt plumbers, lawyers, and garbage collectors. When I was in the Border Patrol and lived on the border in El Paso I got to know a common term that was part of the culture of people on both sides of the border. That term is called "Mordida." It means "bribe" and it is something that runs deep in the entire area. In the mere two years that I lived down there I came across or read about corrupt cops, corrupt Border Patrol agents, corrupt Immigration/Customs agents, corrupt politicians, and corrupt people in general on a much larger scale that I have ever been subjected in my entire life. It was culture shock to move there and see the sheer numbers of corrupt people there.

I remember watching a 60 Minutes episode back in the late 80's/early 90's that woke me up to the actual corruption in our Congress. I stopped watching 60 Minutes about 30 years ago when it became a communist propaganda mill just like all the other national news media. But, on this episode they interviewed a newly elected, young, Puerto Rican, demokrat congressman from NYC who was all excited to join congress and to help the people in his district. He said that he was excited to meet his demokrat heroes, until he did and they explicitly told him that he would vote only the way he was told to vote and not complain. Otherwise, they would black list him and he'd never serve on any committee his entire tenure. He said he felt like they were the Mafia. There was one demokrat that saw the actual truth about his Jackass Party. No doubt that some of this goes on in the Republican side as well, but, nowhere near as bad.

The Bruen decision was supped to be the one to codify legal carry outside the home. We've all seen how well that worked. Now in NY and CA you can carry outside the home, but not once you reach the sidewalk. Some improvement.

Isn't your home your property too, aka your homestead.

See, the lefty jerks and courts are maneuvering around ill defined contexts.

Home or Homestead
Public vs Private

etc etc.

Examples:
There's really no such thing as a "home". There's house, and there's homestead. Just a house is like housing, like apartment, etc. Then you have homestead where your housing in on your property. And yeah, leasing and renting is a gray area.

Public space and private space is clear, regardless of "private" company. Walmart stores are public space when open for business, public can walk right in. Unlike say Costco where you need membership to enter.

So, the 1st step is really to codify these meanings, and from there crafting of laws becomes more clear, and in some cases like CA BS, makes it harder for CA to say "outside your house up to the sidewalk". Bruen really meant to say "outside your homestead", but they did not use words like "house" or "homestead", they said "home", the worst of all the words to use.

The word "home" has been manipulated as synonym in the dictionaries. "home" comes from meaning of "location", a location on a map (I am going home), and things like process of "homing", meaning to go-to the "home" location, "homing device", "to home the print head", etc etc.

I have a State contact in AZ I am working with on this issue. Fixing has to start somewhere.

This is true. It is an unfortunate part of the human condition. If there's one 'oversight' that the Founders can be accused of making, it was not writing in 'term limits' for all federal roles. Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but from their writings we know that they never thought of or intended for 'politician' to become a life-long career. By not codifying that, however, they left the door open for all of the abominations that have occurred since.

Good luck to us in hoping for any politician to impose a term limit upon themselves at this late date. It'll never happen for the same human failing you mention above: corruption.

 

[1911_Kid]

it was not writing in 'term limits' for all federal roles.

I not sure. They perhaps thought voters would not be dumb voters, or that the voting system would not be hijacked.
Free from dumb voters and election fraud, voting for good people time and time again makes sense.

If it's term limits, then I want 50% of congress on the 4yr cycle with potus, and the other 50% on the 4yr cycle 2yr after potus. Perhaps the 50/50 is Senate/House, or, it's 50% Senate and 50% House on one cycle and rest on the other cycle.

Graham is the worst of the worst. He has got to go and I have no idea why he gets re-elected.

You'd rather have another dum-o-crat instead??

The only way we are going to get term limits in the house & senate is with a constitutional convention.

I dunno' - having the entire lock, stock & barrel all punching the same timeclock at the same time.. That could be entertaining, if not exciting. If I have to suffer "goverment", let alone Bureaucrats, seismic shifts are fine with me.

I'd also want to see every.damned.bill term-limited. Every.Single.One. Bureaucrats/appointees? Ditto. - feel free to bias their clockout by 1 or 2 years.

Meanwhile, the life-expectancy of the FF was: "The average life expectancy during this era was 36.", It doubled from 1780 to 2020.
