Tea Party Candidate Adds Right To Take Up Arms Against The Government To The 2nd Amendment
Republicans are always fighting an imaginary tyranny. John Stone, a leading Tea Party candidate in Georgias 12th congressional district, currently occupied by conservative Democratic Rep. John Barrow (D-GA), made an appearance on Tea Party Express radio show last week in which he was asked about his approach to gun laws if hes elected.
Think Progress reports, Stone argued that gun rights were immutable, in part because, in his view, the Second Amendment gives Americans the right to armed rebellion. (He also misquoted George Washington, falsely claiming that Americas first president called the Second Amendment the teeth of the Constitution.)

(16,820 posts)He's saying that people have the right to do that; he isn't advocating it. He's a fool for thinking that a violent confrontation with the government would go his way, but what he's saying doesn't rise to the level of sedition.
