During a May appearance on Rachel Maddow Lean Forward Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said gun rights are not "God-given" and any claim that the Founding Fathers wanted U.S. citizens armed so they could repel a tyranny "is insane."

Guess Mr. Murphy has never read the Constitution.

First you have to believe in God.

Expecting insane people to be rational is a recipe for frustration.

This is what happens when intellectually disabled people are elected to office.

Or the founding fathers. (See my sig, for example.)

The good senator is just another example of someone elected to office without a clue. Perhaps he is serving as a stand-in for Uncle Joe while he is preoccupied with the executive branch....

I love that one, JALLEN. I always get a good chuckle out of it.

Fortunately, his job isn't a God-given right either.

I don't know about God's role in this but I am pretty sure that he didn't elect himself.

In His infinite wisdom God allows evil to accomplish His ultimate good. We cannot understand but we can seek HIs wisdom.

Anygunanywhere

By saying rights are not God-given he must believe the rights were given to the people by the government . . . and thus can be taken back by the government.

Methinks the august Senator has it exactly backwards:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

Simple answer, to this ignorant senator, do you have the right to exist, if he said yes, then ask, what do you do to someone who wants to eliminate your right of existence?
