Condoleezza Rice calls for 'conversation' on gun rights 'in the modern world'
The Hill, Feb 23, 2018, Max Greenwood

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called on Friday for a "conversation" about gun rights, questioning why Americans should have access to "military weapons."

"I think it is time for us to have a conversation about what the right to bear arms means in the modern world," Rice told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. "I don’t understand why civilians need to have access to military weapons."

"We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t say you can go out and buy a tank," she continued. "So I do think we need to have that conversation."

Who woke her up?

When someone says they want a "conversation", they really mean they want to lecture us and tell us we're wrong.

[LMAO]

When someone says they want a "conversation", they really mean they want to lecture us and tell us we're wrong.

Similar to when someone says “ we need to work together and put our differences aside” really means, “ you need to give up your beliefs and agree with me.”

And tell us we need to surrender ourselves and our rights to their stewardship and government-imposed plans.

I think the time for 'conversation' is over.

They simply need to know that we are not going to comply with any further attempts to regulate arms, and should they actually be stupid enough to act upon enforcing whatever registration and confiscation schemes they come up with - that we are not going to go quietly, and they will have bought themselves a war.

I'm done talking, reasoning or 'discussing'. 

These weapons are mine - they will remain in my possession.   Any attempt to infringe, limit, list or otherwise make requirements on that possession will be resisted with extreme prejudice.

My Nepalese Gahendra Martini-Henry (577/450) was a Military Rifle.



So was my Remington Rolling Block 5  rifle.


I shouldn't have access to those?

No.  According to our wannabe overlords and their Disciples in the Uniparty - THESE are all the implements of weaponry us 'little people' should be permitted to have access to (with a government license of course) in the mind's eye of our Elitist Betters:

"Condoleezza Rice calls for 'conversation' on gun rights 'in the modern world'"

Stop for a moment and think how many "Republican" folks supported the notion of this woman running for president.

Condi, stick to the piano.
Pound on those keys, instead of on our principles.

Good one.

If Condi Rice is evidence of what passes for modern Conservative thought today (Limbaugh as well) - then the liberties we once believed in as insoluble are toast.

History teaches us quite clearly that mankind spoiled by prosperity and peace and ease of life, will ALWAYS choose to surrender their liberty in order to make kings for themselves and subjugate the whole land to despotism, war, ruin and captivity.  There is no exception to that rule of history and human nature.

And Condi Rice's statement is a perfect illustration of how a people willingly sell themselves and their posterity to slavery usually upon the chanting of a mob.

[Fantom]

Well, Americans do not have access to "military" weapons. Although the Second Amendment guarantees that we should.

Miller was remanded back to the appeals court to ascertain if a sawed off shotgun was of military use.

"Condoleezza Rice calls for 'conversation' on gun rights 'in the modern world'"... a modern world that consists of liberal mental midgets who want to infringe upon our 2A rights.  A modern world where our government has become so corrupt that the rule of law is being ignored; perhaps the conversation needed should be held at the Convention of States!

Rank sophistry. Like the reasons and principles have changed, or ever could change. 

[montanajoe]

As I've noted previously there is a cultural shift going on in the generation growing up much like the 60's and the Vietnam Era, as the baby boomers rejected military service much to the long term detriment of this country.

The old farts will proudly claim their arms will be pried from their cold dead hands and so what..if folks are really concerned about gun rights in the future they need to be engaging the kids in an attempt to change their views...us old farts congratulating each other on how strong our commitment to the 2nd is useless...

People do not.

I don't ever remember sitting around the dining room table as a family talking about guns nor the 2A.  My father and brothers would go hunting; though growing up I didn't even realize or consider that was a Constitutional right, nor from what I can recall was the 2A ever discussed in school.  There has been such a push by liberals for gun control that the 'discussion' in our liberal school system is to look down upon those who honor and respect that amendment.

Gee I wonder which other rights she thinks we need to have conversation on in the modern world ? Since it's obvious the people some depend on, foolishly, to protect them are incapable of or hesitant to because, well hey they want to go home to their families each night. The only rub with that is when you ask for and accept a job where you know that you will have to sometime put your life on the line, the people that pay you kind of expect that you do............so that they are able to go home to their families at night. Especially when they are children.

Passive aggressive mealy mouthed crap . If you do not trust the American people to own firearms just have the courage to say so and stop calling it having a 'conversation'.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Condy, Sit down and shut up.

Can't be pointed out often enough.

The Founders put the Individual's Unalienable Rights in the hands of God, not of men.

They did this to put those Rights so far above any assumed authority on earth that the very idea of taking them away would be unthinkable.


With conservative allies like her, who needs enemas?

[WingNot]

I don't conversate with dipsticks like Condi Rice.  She was Shrubs AA hire anyway.  Totally out of her element then and now.

[libertybele]

To be honest, I liked Condi and thought she was intelligent and very articulate.  After this comment from her, obviously I was very, very wrong.

We learned that about a whole lot of people in the past couple of years we wrongly assumed were Limited Government Constitutional Conservatives, did we not?

We learned that principles are negotiable and changeable in order to 'win'.

We learned that Big Government is actually okay when WE do it.

We learned that deficit spending is okay when WE do it.

We learned that ObamaCare is too hard to cancel, so instead WE will manage it better.

We learned that payback and retribution are more important than first principles.

We learned that Constitutional Rights are subject to 'conversation' because they do not fit within the new paradigm of the modern world, and we must surrender them to Government-granted privilege to keep everyone 'safe' and un-offended.

Ain't no different that the whole gallery of moderate Republicans calling themselves 'conservative'.

"We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t say you can go out and buy a tank," she continued. "So I do think we need to have that conversation."

Actually, wrong conversation. As for tanks, and for the enthusiast...(and one of many--where did you think Hollywood rents them, if not from dealers/collectors?)

Of course, someone might see THAT coming...or a kid with a pop tart, but not this event? even when warned repeatedly?

The conversation doesn't need to be about tanks or guns, it needs to be about people.
