Democratic Congressman suggests taking up arms against Donald Trump

  If you spend any time on Facebook you have probably seen quite a bit of gun control debate in the wake of the school shooting in Florida. You have surely seen memes posted by pro-second amendment people which remind everybody the second amendment was put in place in order to protect the people from a tyrannical government, while this is countered by anti-second amendment people who claim it is silly to think in this day and age we can take up arms against the government.

  However while this debate is raging among the people it is rare indeed for a member of the Congress to suggest we might be getting close to taking up arms against the President but that is what Democratic Representative Tom Suozzi did at a recent town hall meeting. Here is more:

A Democratic congressman from Long Island implied that Americans should grab weapons and oppose President Trump by force, if the commander-in-chief doesn’t follow the Constitution.

Rep. Tom Suozzi made the remark to constituents at a town hall last week, saying that folks opposed to Trump might resort to the “Second Amendment.”

“It’s really a matter of putting public pressure on the president,” Suozzi said in a newly released video of the March 12 talk in Huntington. “This is where the Second Amendment comes in, quite frankly, because you know, what if the president was to ignore the courts? What would you do? What would we do?”

A listener then blurts out, “What’s the Second Amendment?”

The left-leaning Democrat says, “The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms.”

The spectators laughed — some nervously. 

  This is unbelievably irresponsible, especially after the attempted assassination of Steve Scalice and other Republicans at a charity softball game practice by a lestist, and needless to say the Republicans are not happy:

“This video is incredibly disturbing. It’s surreal to watch a sitting member of Congress suggest that his constituents should take up arms against the president of the United States,” said National Republican Campaign Committee spokesman Chris Martin.

  I find it ironic that suddenly Democrats are pro-second amendment and pro-original intent after all this time. I also still remember the heat Donald Trump took for saying second amendment people might be able to stop Hillary Clinton but I do not see that same outrage from the left now.

  In Donald Trump’s case I wrote here that I thought he was probably talking about motivated second amendment voters heading to the polls to vote against Hillary Clinton en masse in order to stop her from becoming the President but this is clearly not what Tom Suozzi was implying and yet there are crickets from the left…
