When we Robert Reich ever learn? The guy needs to stick to what he’s good at: knowing nothing about basic economics.
Because when he tries to dip his toes in the water on other issues, he only ends up way in over his head.
Like when it comes to gun control, for example. It’s only natural that he’d feel compelled to weigh in, because he seems to be living under the delusion that his opinion is more valuable than other people’s. But poor Robert is literally incapable of not coming off sounding like an ignorant jackass:
You could use dynamite to hunt or protect your home, but we regulate explosives because they pose a threat to public safety.
The 2nd Amendment wasn’t intended to turn America into a battlefield.

Well, yes, Robert. We suppose that technically you could use dynamite to hunt or protect your home … we’re not sure why you would ever do something like that.
Whomst among us does not protecc our castle with dynamite 🤣 https://t.co/Qem1KkaDsG

Blowing up one’s home is a great way to protect it 🤔 https://t.co/hJpYGrewwj

Clearly Robert Reich has put a lot of thought into his argument.
Terrible uses for dynamite 🤡👇 https://t.co/PndoRdVds0

Right? It’s like something you might see in a cartoon. Which sorta fits, if you think about it, because Robert Reich is basically a cartoon character.
You could, but only if your name is Elmer Fudd or Kevin McCallister. https://t.co/AbIC4dZZgP

Heh.
Also, what’s all this “the 2nd Amendment wasn’t intended to turn America into a battlefield” business?
America WAS a freaking battlefield, you idiot. https://t.co/XgeKwajGkU

Evidently Robert Reich’s grasp on history is even worse than his grasp on economics. Yikes, dude.
The birth 2nd Amendment literally came from America being turned into a battlefield. https://t.co/fEnusK4rRm pic.twitter.com/A5vda8zQik

The American Revolution kind of had a major influence on the Bill of Rights, Robert.
In the event the government became oppressive and tyrannical it most certainly was meant to do just that. https://t.co/MRdqH46f4p

Second Amendment advocates aren’t excited about the prospect of American being turned into a battlefield again, as Reich is suggesting, but they do understand the purpose of the Second Amendment.
The words hunt or protect appear nowhere in the 2nd Amendment. Just admit you want to abolish and redefine it and let's vote on it. You won't. https://t.co/jTITe0U6M7

The only thing Robert Reich will do is find new ways to publicly humiliate himself at the liberal altar.
