Trump Vows To ‘Never’ Repeal The Second Amendment
President Donald Trump vowed Wednesday to “never” repeal the Second Amendment after former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens advocated for repeal in a recent New York Times op-ed.
“No way,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “We need more Republicans in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the Supreme Court.”
Stevens, who retired from the Supreme court in 2010, advocated for repeal his op-ed, saying such action “would eliminate the only legal rule that protects sellers of firearms in the United States — unlike every other market in the world.”
“It would make our schoolchildren safer than they have been since … Read More

Kentucky House Passes Bill Restricting Abortions
The Kentucky House of Representatives passed legislation on Tuesday to ban a common abortion procedure from the 11th week of pregnancy, in what would be one of the strictest abortion limits in the United States.
