“Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president. Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
In 1979, president Carter used it to stop Iranians from entering the United States. And, he deported 15,000 of them.
This law was written in 1952. It was passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress, House and Senate, and signed by a Democrat president.
in the 2nd amendment
The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: “If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations.”
1714: “The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world.”
1812: “The equation of time … is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial.”
1848: “A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor.”
1862: “It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding.”
1894: “The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city.”
The phrase “well-regulated” was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people’s arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
Adding the phrase, “shall not be infringed” reinforced the law.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision that held the amendment protects an individual right to possess and carry firearms.
In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), the Court clarified its earlier decisions that limited the amendment’s impact to a restriction on the federal government, expressly holding that the Fourteenth Amendment applies the Second Amendment to state and local governments to the same extent that the Second Amendment applies to the federal government.
In open violation of The Constitution, and in spite of Supreme Court decisions that confirm and reinforce the 2nd Amendment, many good people in our country continue to have their right to keep and bear arms illegally infringed by laws that are not in keeping with The Constitution.
shows he has no respect for America. He does not love this country. He does not believe in America. He bad mouths us every day.
He should be America’s champion. In every word and deed he should be AMERICAN.
In his heart he is not an American. He has no pride in America.
He is an insult to me and my country.
If it happens in my vicinity, I’ll throw my scoped rifle and a bunch of ammo into my pickup and go terrorist hunting.
Millions of hunters in the country are prepared now – for deer, bears, or terrorists.
If it happens outside of my reach, I’ll hope other Americans will swarm in.
Be prepared. We must react quickly.
to “give those who wished to destroy, space to do that.”
They’re just doing it on a larger scale … and shipping them in.

Do you live in an area protected by signs saying, “This is a Gun-Free Zone” ?
Well … Good luck with that.
When ISIS comes, will your community be ready? …
Do you personally have a weapon to defend your neighborhood?
Be armed. Be ready.
the police have to expect that the first responders to an active shooter will be civilians.
Just as I have the responsibility to differentiate between the bad guys, the victims, and other first responders, so do the police.
The police will have to coordinate with the people who are already engaging the bad guy. For anyone, civ or cop, to hold back while people are being lined up and executed would be wrong. The people ‘in there’ are our neighbors. Don’t arrogantly and stupidly expect us to ‘stay out of the way’.
Deal with it.
would be a fundamental change. The People would no longer possess a remedy against an out-of-control government, now or in the future.
We must think of the long term consequences to our freedoms.
it is also true that each person’s value to society can be measured and compared.
Some individuals have a negative value.
