BRAIN ADDLED BY SANDY HOOK SHOOTING

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting addled the brain of Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens so much that his proposals on gun control and the death penalty are downright anti-Texan, if not anti-American

I criticized some of my friends for calling Justice Stevens anti-American because he wanted to add five words to the Second Amendment - “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, when serving in the militia, shall not be infringed” – which would allow Congress to ban private gun ownership in this country. Stevens says he was so traumatized by the shooting deaths of those 20 little children that he had to call for gun controls along the lines of those in European countries where private gun ownership is all but prohibited and where the few guns allowed for hunting must be registered with the government.

Reports about his new book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, reveal that Stevens not only wants to change the Constitution so that it would become possible for the states or the federal government to ban the private ownership of guns, but barring that, he also wants to change the Constitution so that the states would be forced to run background checks on prospective gun buyers. His proposal would overturn the 1997 SCOTUS ruling in Printz vs. United States that states could not be forced to participate in the background check system.

In his book, Stevens also wants to change the Constitution in order to abolish the death penalty. And he wants to change the Constitution so that it would limit the use of guns in self-defense.

Stevens is downright anti-Texan for the changes he wants to make to the Constitution on gun control and the death penalty. And I herewith apologize to the friends I criticized for calling Stevens anti-American. Fellas, please accept my apology!
