What would you do? What would we do?\u201d Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., said during a March 12 Q&#038;A session with constituents in Huntington, on Long Island.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, a 2d Amendment remedy won&#8217;t come from recently dis-armed New Yorkers. The legacy governor and his SAFE Act took care of that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A spokesperson for Suozzi denied that the congressman was calling for &#8220;armed insurrection&#8221; against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking a page from such great Americans as Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, Congressman Suozzi explained why our founding fathers created the Second Amendment as a way for citizens to fight back against a tyrannical government that does not follow the rule of law,&#8221; senior adviser Kim Devlin said in a Monday statement to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Devlin added: &#8220;To suggest his comments meant anything else or that he was advocating for an armed insurrection against the existing president is both irresponsible and ridiculous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, Mr Devlin, stating that there is a second amendment remedy is advocating an armed insurrection. Language matters. <\/p>\n<p>Democrats in New York disarmed the citizenry while Democrats controlled the national government, will they now lift restrictions on firearms to take over the Republican government?<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/politics\/suozzi-suggest-using-second-amendment-trump\">Roll Call<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Chris Martin said the video was \u201cincredibly disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s surreal to watch a sitting member of Congress suggest that his constituents should take up arms against the President of the United States,\u201d Martin said.<\/p>\n<p>Suozzi&#8217;s campaign forwarded a line from Thomas Jefferson advocating for such.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms,\u201d the quote reads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds like he&#8217;s advocating armed insurrection to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick sends a link to Fox News which reports that Representative Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., in a &hellip; <a title=\"Rep.
