Army Secretary Nominee: Citizens Should Have Same Arms As Military
Tennessee state Sen. Mark Green (R), President Donald Trump’s nominee for Army secretary, strongly believes that citizens should be armed ― and not just with any ol’ guns. They should be able to possess whatever weapons the military has, because an armed citizenry is the “ultimate checks and balances” against the federal government.

“The Second Amendment, while it allows citizens to protect themselves from other citizens, goes well beyond just allowing us to defend ourselves from a criminal,” Green said at a pro-gun rally in 2013.

“The men who penned and ratified this document gave us the right to keep and bear arms as an ultimate checks and balances against the federal government,” he added. “When considering magazine size and weapon type, comments like, ‘You don’t need a 10-round magazine to hunt deer’ completely misses the point of the Second Amendment.”

Never heard of Mark Green, but I already like him with that statement. I can just imagine how many liberal heads exploded when they heard that!

Can't wait to hear what names the liberals try calling him.

What? A political nominee actually gets it?! Say it ain't so!

Kind of neat when someone understands the Constitution and the words/meanings of our Founding Fathers!!

What is amazing to me is that we are all surprised when someone comes forward with thoughts and ideas like this. It should be a complete 180; we should be surprised when someone does not think like this!

OMG, what will the progressives ever do? They are most definitely spinning the tops off freaking out that a govt official (potential) could actually be saying such stuff. Could you imagine people might listen to him? Just OMG OMG OMG... They'll be covering their ears!

We gun owners have endured an onslaught of anti-gun diatribe for the last decade or so. .. From the political
left and their fake news mouthpiece ... Day and night assault on the 2nd and our god given rights. Now once in a while an article like this is stumbled upon ....And we are in awe .....

I'm not surprised that someone has come forward with this way of thinking. Many (most?) of us here have similar feelings. I'm surprised that someone with this way of thinking has been nominated for (and will likely be confirmed to) one of the top positions in the United States Military.

I do t trust him or anyone else anymore. trump is so disappointing especially with the sanctuary city funding I just have lost faith in all politicians. Trump always was too much of a democrat for me, but now he's a real democrat.
