Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein And The Second Amendment

Regular readers here know that I rarely post about Second Amendment rights. I have posted about Cass Sunstein, however. See THIS, before Glenn Beck ever mentioned Sunstein's name, as far as I know.

Over at Infidel Bloggers Alliance, I found the video below of Cass Sunstein sharing his views on the parameters of your right to bear arms over at Infidel Bloggers Alliance.



Below is some text from the video (emphases mine) and my commentary.

SUNSTEIN: 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. Modern gun owners who are invoking the Second Amendment on the basis of a principle they favor are perfectionists, not so different from older people who tried unsuccessfully - I'm pleased to say - to get the protection clause read to strike down mandatory retirement laws....

In his post at Infidel Bloggers Alliance, Epa said:

We have an FCC Czar who thinks the 1st amendment is an exagerrated...well " This freedom is all too often an exaggeration."

And now we have a regulatory 'czar' who thinks those who actually BELIEVE the 2nd amendment is real are some kind of ocd 'perfectionists'

How many of these incidents is it going to take before some people wake up?

These guys are not playing footsy. The language they are using is direct. I take their words seriously.

They believe they are on the side of the righteous and the good and that the simple act of oppostion and defiance categorises you immediately as a right wing smear merchant nut or worse. These people are a danger to the republic.

Once again, if you have not already done so, I ask you to read my previous post on Cass Sunstein. Sunstein also has a dangerous-to-our-freedom view of the First Amendment. Read more about Cass Sunstein at StopSunstein.com. Be sure to check out this compilation of Sunstein quotes.

I contend that BHO has the same views. After all, BHO appointed Cass Sunstein, along with several others who intend to remake the United States.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE! Van Jones may have resigned. But present in the BHO administration are others just as dangerous, perhaps more so.

Something dangerous beyond words is happening. That something is the unthinkable if the United States is to remain a free country.
