President-elect Trump’s first big endorsement was from the NRA and now his pick to head up the U.S. Justice Department, Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, had to talk about the Second Amendment during confirmation hearings:
(Sessions) “Well, I do believe the Second Amendment is a personal right.”
Though as potentially the nation’s chief prosecutor, he agrees with laws that make use of firearms during crimes, a crime itself:
(Sessions) “I think that’s a legitimate and responsible restraint on the Second Amendment.”
Ed.: So much for Sessions being pro-2A. |

Seriously?
I live in Alabama and have followed Senator Sessions for years. He is definantly PRO 2A.
What is WRONG with making armed crimes serious offenses?
Do we suppose that criminals ought to enjoy a "right" to use guns -- make armed robbery & murder legal -- THEN IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE!!
We are going to be our own worst enemy if we don't make it REALLY hard on CRIMINALS when they use guns.... |

Does it bother me that Sen. Sessions approves of anti 2A legislation like the Brady Bill? Yep.
Do I care that future AG Sessions approves of unconstitutional laws already on the books?
Not really. I'll gladly take an AG who believes in enforcing all laws as written over any law ignoring AG we've had in the last 25 years. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
