http://www.breitbart.tv/cass-sunstein-right-to-bear-arms-arguments-stem-from-fears-not-civic-centered-founding-debates/
An inept, inexperienced and dangerous Obama White House actively skips around the safe guards for cabinet positions with its "CZAR" appointments. It has nominated embattled Harvard University law professor Cass R. Sunstein as the president's nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Sunstein misfired one time too many in public statements and once again another Obama CZAR is suffering from self inflicted wounds.
A videotape has surfaced of a lecture Mr. Sunstein gave on Oct. 23, 2007. Here is what he said: "My coming view is that the individual right to bear arms reflects the success of an extremely aggressive and resourceful social movement and has much less to do with good standard legal arguments than [it] appears."
Discussing the anti-gun laws in the District of Columbia, he said a critic of such strict gun control would say that a "trigger lock interferes with his efforts at self-defense against criminals. What on Earth does that have to do with the Second Amendment as originally understood?"
Discussing the anti-gun laws in the District of Columbia, he said a critic of such strict gun control would say that a "trigger lock interferes with his efforts at self-defense against criminals. What on Earth does that have to do with the Second Amendment as originally understood?"
Mr. Sunstein has been assuring Second Amendment advocates, including key Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, that he strongly believes the Constitution protects an individual right to bear arms.
There's no wiggle room in that statement, and Sen. Chambliss dropped his hold on the nomination based on Mr. Sunstein's assurances. But it turns out that the professor has held a certain contempt for the very viewpoint he suddenly claims to espouse.
Sunstein said, "My tentative suggestion is that the individual right to have guns as it's being conceptualized now is best taken as a contemporary creation and a reflection of current fears - not a reading of civic-centered founding debates."
Sunstein's overt hostility to the idea that the Constitution protects an individual's right to bear arms, including self-defense, is outrageous. This is clearly part of an Obama Gun Attack Plan by somebody whose job might entail weighing in on the value of anti-gun regulations. It makes his personal assurances that he is a Second Amendment supporter completely disingenuous.
The anti-gun Obama White House is hiding Sunstein's extreme view on gun control and will likely continue to inexplicably stand by him.
Is this just another amateurish mistake by an immature White House that is yet to get weaned or part of the Anti-Gun agenda that Obama lied about during the campaign? Presidential candidate, Obama deliberately and repeatedly lied to America's 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone's firearms? Not hardly and we've been sounding the alarm for a year and this appointment expands the Obama gun attack plan.
Attorney General Holder Revealed The Obama Gun Attack Plan Lie
Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder revealed the President's plan to seek to reinstate the ban on semi-automatic firearms and said Obama "knew he was lying to the nation because his own website touted his plan to revive the gun ban and make it permanent."
We've warned America that Obama's 'support' for the Second Amendment was empty rhetoric. Holder's disclosure has confirmed it. Obama was lying, and now gun rights may be dying.
Lies Prove "CZAR's" Don't Fall Far From the Presidential Tree
Mr. Sunstein said, "My tentative suggestion is that the individual right to have guns as it's being conceptualized now is best taken as a contemporary creation and a reflection of current fears - not a reading of civic-centered founding debates."
Mr. Sunstein's overt hostility to the idea that the Constitution protects an individual right to bear arms, including for purposes of self-defense, is not something that should be welcomed from somebody whose job might entail weighing in on the value of anti-gun regulations. It also makes his more recent assurances that he is a Second Amendment stalwart seem rather disingenuous, at the very least.
This sounds just like Obama's friend Van Jones when he flatly said in his statement that he did not agree with reports about him and said "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever." What is this straight out of the Obama White House play book on how to deny your past?

ACORN can sign them up.
I wonder which party they would "flock" to.
Representatives from the parties could stand in opposite corners and whoever the animal comes to wins!
If it bites, pisses or shits on one corner the other guy gets the vote!

Just a quick note on hunting... I studied conservation for years. There was a time during the 1980's, the deer population in NC went through the rood when hunting went down. It completely screwed with the balance in the ecosystem here. Deer went up and inbreeding was rampant... hump-nosed deer, speckled coats, antlered does... the animals were more prone to sickness. Natural selection was replaced with every deer in the woods getting laid. That isn't how it is supposed to work. The results More..

I agree with you 100 percent. I have hunted on occasion and find that I am very bad at it. I tend to shoot where the rabbit was... oh well.
But, that aside, I don't think for a minute that this pinhead was really talking about hunting. He is trying to get the whole animal rights thing into the public discourse as a means to enlist the PETA crowd and their friends into outlawing hunting. They don't give a rip about the animals but eliminating hunting takes away a big talking point for the p More..

America 1776:
For Revolution: 33%
Against: 33%
Undecided: 34%
Look at revolutions throughout history and you will find a majority of them were not supported by a majority of the people.
A lot of middle class people who would never consider or want to fight the govn't are wondering if it's the only way to get it to stop growing and consuming our personal freedoms.
It was not like this under Clinton or previous democrat regimes.

Keep in mind that it was only a small percent of Americans that fought the British and created the best country in the world.While worthless lowlifes like you were either loyalist or content sitting in your home letting the real patriots do all the dieing.In reality your idea of the REAl patriots in this country only being 10% it WRONG.Even the gov knows they dont have enough people or resources to stop a revolution if it happened.Why do you think they are training foreign troops here on our soi More..

Another Lib wanting to shut down a 5 billion $$ a year business. Someone take this guy hunting. What a P.ssy. I can't believe pansies like this guy get any air time. I would like to put his Liberal ass in a electric Obama mobile and run through the 3 deer crossings on the way to my house. He would end up in a ditch and his tombstone would read - Killed by a deer. People actually die from deer over population on highways. This dumbass Harvard F..cktard is out of touch.

To Hell with this Sunstein jerk. I reject this guy as completely as i reject the rest of the Obama Juntas leftist ideas. The pro-gun rallies we've seen so far are just the beginning. If they push the issue they'll have a million pro-gun people waving signs in DC until they get the message. And in 2010 and 2012 they'll really get the message as Dems are voted out in a landslide.

Your blatant and pointless anti-semitism is tiresome.
In ignorance you purport that all Jews would hold Mr. Sunstiens point of view. Indeed in my best estimation Denis Prager, a notable Jew, would say of Mr. Sunstien "to say something so stupid requires a collage education." Of you, and I would agree, he would say you are a hate filled ideolouge, baselessly blaming a whole race for the abuse you recieved at the hands of your crack-smoking parents.

Right back at you sister, you ASSume Sunstien is Israeli, when that probably is not the case at all. You also ASSume that he is Jewish, which is likely but not certain given his Asheknazi sounding surname. You also ASSume that your anti-semetic avatar and statement should not be offensive to non-semites... how dumb.
But I do admitt that I ASSumed that what you meant by "these people" were "Jews"
Unfortunately I think the "blatent anti-american forieners" More..
