Judge Ron Greenburg Quote

“The right just doesn't exist. Clearly, the states no longer need protection from the federal government disarming their "well-regulated" militia. The Second Amendment no longer speaks to us. The Second Amendment has no modern day application. The Second Amendment is dead.”

~ Judge Ron Greenburg

"Second Amendment Doesn't Apply To Late 20th Century," May 13, 1995, by Ron Greenberg, San Francisco Examiner

Judge Ron Greenburg needs to be impeached. It is people like him that proves we need the 2nd Amendment even more today.

    I tend to agree with Greenburg. The Second Amendment has been taken out of context.

      Ron Greenburg doesn't exist. Ever hear of Lexis-Nexis. This is the post 9/11 USA PATRIOT programme and the laws will be written by phantom judges. Doth ye protest, X-rayed & frisked weak-kneed air travelers?

        If Greenburg actually exists he should be impeached. Someone this intellectually challenged should not even be allowed to breed, never mind hold any kind of public office. The Second Amendment was not designed to protect our right to shoot Bambi. It was to protect us from people like Harry Reed, Nancy Pelosi and Barry Obama....

          Gun Control works. Worked for Stalin. Worked for Mao. Worked for Castro. Worked for Kim. Worked for Lenin. Worked for Hitler.

          He is right since all militias come under the President of the US. The indians are gone etc. People should be allowed to have guns for hunting and self defense. Not for shooting cops and legislators. Of course they we never had guns for the purpose of turning them on ourselves or our government. That philosophy is plain hogwash. We do however have a weapon against the state or government and it is called VOTING.

          Why show this quote when it was not made by a real Judge? The Second Amendment and it's supporters don't need this garbage posted anywhere!

          Sometimes we post quotes to expose their lack of standing. This Judge Greenburg quote has been floating around the internet as proof of a concerted effort to discredit the 2nd Amendment. Thought we'd show it to be spurious.

          Ron Greenberg is a retired judge of the Berkeley-Albany Municipal Court and a free-lance writer. He wrote this commentary as one in a San Francisco Examiner Opinion Page series of differing perspectives in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing.

          It is not spurious: Here is your proof.

          Thank you, Wounded Eagle, for the citation. The source has been updated.

          The 2nd Amendment was created to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government. History has shown us -that necessity & what happens when people are disarmed. Judge Ron Greenburg has not learned from history. Nor does he respect the Constitution.
