Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., is understandably alarmed at the thought of another Clinton-led White House. On Sunday, he warned that a Hillary Clinton victory would result in “the greatest reduction of Second Amendment rights since the founding of the Republic.” 

Sessions criticized Clinton for attacking the Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller—a ruling affirming the individual right to bear arms. Hillary, you’ll recall, has called the ruling “wrong.” Apparently she’s so high and mighty that she thinks she’s wiser than the highest court of the land. 

The death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February changes the composition of the court and, Sessions says, if Clinton gets elected, the Second Amendment is in danger. “She will appoint somebody who changes it, and what that means is it’s no longer a personal right to have a gun, but every city, county and state can completely ban firearms in America.”

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
