I was only 7 at the time and in those days TN was the other side of the world from NJ. But I am still surprised I never heard of this, even after living in TN for a number of years in the 1980's. Now I know for sure why rotten politicians fear the 2nd...

Do you support the assault weapon ban? And (what is) your position on exactly what restrictions government should put on Second Amendment rights?
I thinks it's going to be all in fun from those who support the second amendment and those who don't. Whether you're a gun advocate or not, you should have a lot of fun with it
Is it the Mitt Romney that was on the side of against the 2nd Amendment before he was for the 2nd Amendment? Was it -- was before he was before the social programs, from the standpoint of he was for standing up for Roe v. Wade before he was against Roe v. Wade?
Why should I? I’m a big supporter of the Second Amendment and I feel it is my right to protect myself.
The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental freedom enshrined in our Constitution ... I am proud to be an aggressive defender of our Second Amendment freedoms.
Historically, states have been given the right of self-determination when it comes to gun control ... Regardless of how you feel about New Jersey’s gun control laws, the federal legislation which was recently passed by the House would set a terrible precedent, and opens the door for Second Amendment act...

Republicans fancy themselves as being strong on the Second Amendment, and a lot of them like to put that in their campaign literature
Gun control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun.
Fast and Furious 'scandal' is a Republican red herring: What we really need are tougher gun laws.
I think it's going to be all in fun from those who support the second amendment and those who don't ... Whether you’re a gun advocate or not, you should have a lot of fun with it.
Perhaps because the laws are already so strict and gun crime is relatively rare, gun control is not generally considered a political issue in Norway.
The owners and investors involved are strong supporters of the Second Amendment and are avid hunters and shooters.
I get it, I’d want to change the subject too if I were them. I’m happy to have a conversation about broader gun laws, but we’re going to do it after Fast and Furious.
You have a fairly conservative Legislature that reflects what Florida put into office and you have a great deal of folks who are strong Second Amendment supporters. Personally, as a member of the NRA myself, I certainly have no desire to see us restrict the rights for private firearm ownership in the st...
I just spent 10 years in the Marine Corps protecting the rights of people... the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment and the [rest of the] Bill of Rights ...

It’s bad politics to be on the wrong side of the Second Amendment at election time ... They’re trying to fog the issue through the 2012 election and deceive gun owners into thinking he’s something he’s not, which is pro-Second Amendment.

Gun control is a fight that the administration is not willing to pick. They’re not likely to win it
He ran as someone who was in favor of gay rights, in favor of abortion rights, willing to balance the budget with [higher] taxes, against Second Amendment rights. When he ran against Ted Kennedy in 1994, the same year I got elected to the Senate, he ran to the left of where he ran as governor
I feel that when it comes to his record, his statements, when it comes to issues Christian conservatives and social conservatives care about, I think you'll find that he (Romney) is someone who is right on life, on marriage, on the Second Amendment
Although conservatives dub Romney a flip-flopper for changing positions on abortion, gun control, and health care, the base knew all about those old reversals in 2008, when it nonetheless praised Romney as the only conservative alternative to maverick moderate John McCain. Apparently the party has moved...
But it would be a lot better for everyone if they stopped doing things to restrict gun rights that require them to back off in the first place
