Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT): "I mean, let's look at the context of nullification. Nullification was last used by southern states to try to eviscerate Civil Rights legislation, to try to prevent states from basically enforcing desegregation -- and I think history will look back on this round of nullification as kindly as it did on the last round. It is laughable also because it is a total bastardization of the Second Amendment. The second amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right. It has always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has.
"The idea that the Second Amendment was put in there in order to allow citizens to fight their government is insane. If that was the case, we wouldn't have also included treason in the United States constitution. We basically said, 'If you take arms up against the government, we're going to knock your block off,' and that's what the early Presidents ended up doing in the rebellion and the whiskey rebellion. The Second Amendment is not designed to allow the citizenry to arm itself against the government, and nullification is another example of states not understanding the true nature of that amendment."

For one of our political leaders that has been elected to state the 2nd Amendment is not a RIGHT just makes me want to go through the roof!! He or she needs to be banned from the political processes in this country and sent to some 3rd world country to do their own thing and let us the hell alone!!! JMHO!!
