NRA says Justice Stevens’ call to repeal Second Amendment is a ‘disgrace to America’

6 years ago

NRATV host Grant Stinchfield lashed out Tuesday against calls by retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens to repeal the Second Amendment.

“Do you see that? The repeal of the Second Amendment. From a man who once took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution now admits he wants it dismantled!” Stinchfield said. “I have long said the ultimate goal of the left is the complete repeal of the Second Amendment. This is proof, my friends.”

Stevens’ call to action, which came in a New York Times opinion piece, shows how “the Left is committed to tearing America apart at the seams,” Stinchfield said.

“Justice Stevens, you may have been a Supreme Court justice, and I may just be a small voice for freedom, but you, sir, should be ashamed of yourself,” the NRA host continued. “Your words and your ultimate wish list is a disgrace to America and the values that we all hold dear.”

Stevens, who was appointed by Republican President Gerald Ford but grew to be one of the court’s liberal leaders, commended the work of the March for Our Lives organizers in his OpEd and encouraged them “to seek more effective and more lasting reform” through a “repeal of the Second Amendment.” The 97-year-old justice called the amendment a “relic of the 18th century” designed to protect states’ rights rather than individual’s gun rights.
