I have posted many times on the topic of gun control. However, I have never been exposed to what Jon Stewart recently did to a gun rights ideologue. Get your popcorn and click on the link below (watch through Brian Tyler Cohen's analysis):

2nd Amendment And Overthrowing The Government

Many, if not most, of those involved with the attack on the US Capital on 1/6/2021 believe that the 2nd Amendment gives those who disagree with the existing government of the USA permission for an armed insurrection against it. The following two sources clearly debunk this idea:

  • "It would be odd indeed if the Framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights had written an amendment designed to give individuals the right to liquidate the government they were setting up.  In fact, having been through a revolution, they had few illusions about the virtues of violence. When they gathered in Philadelphia in 1787, the original Framers were very aware that armed bands of farmers in Massachusetts had revolted against the state government only a few months earlier.  Washington, in particular, found the news of Daniel Shays's rebellion in that state so disturbing that it contributed to his decision to come out of retirement and help frame a new national charter to prevent such outbreaks." (link)
  • "Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin called out Representative Chip Roy of Texas for his views on the 2nd Amendment, in which Roy implied that the amendment was designed so that the people can violently overthrow the government at will." (link)

A Historical Look At Militia Movements In The USA

"How have American militias shaped the nation? And why do ‘militia movements’ keep returning to the fore of our national politics?

"On Now & Then, Heather and Joanne discuss the role of militias in the 1786 Shays’ Rebellion, during the tumultuous Reconstruction years, and in the 1990s ‘Modern Militia Movement.’"

The 2nd Amendment Is Bogus

"What are the origins of the Second Amendment? And what can America’s painful racial history illuminate about our national relationship to guns?

"On this special Live Taping of Now & Then, Heather and Joanne talk to Carol Anderson, professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America.

"The trio discuss how the recent spate of mass shootings — and Supreme Court decisions striking down gun control measures in liberal-leaning cities and states — echo the longstanding inequalities embedded in American gun ownership."

Reducing Gun Violence

"Today we take a look at some of the obvious steps we need to take to reduce gun violence in the United States, debunk some of the favored propaganda supporting unfettered gun ownership and explore the origins of how Gun Culture™ was invented by corporations as the frontier era need for guns began to vanish pushing them to convert guns from tools that were needed but not loved into items that were loved though no longer needed."

The Truth About The 2nd Amendment To The US Constitution

"You don’t need to be a lawyer to understand that the Second Amendment was never intended to provide an individual a constitutional right to possess a gun. The language of this one sentence amendment could not be more clear: 'A WELL-REGULATED MILITIA, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'”

Know the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution

Don't pay attention to the NRA propaganda, understand its history.

Understand the history of the 2nd Amendment


 Conservative Supreme Court Chief Justice called the 2nd Amendment a fraud.

Eric Corey Freed has a guide to handling anti-gun control arguments.

Oh, by the way, "- - - about 30 careful studies show more guns are linked to more crimes: murders, rapes, and others. Far less research shows that guns help."

You supporters of the NRA, what part of "A WELL REGULATED  - - - " do you not understand?
