In a new interview, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban proposed an “update” to the Second Amendment that would protect the rights of gun owners and bolster the authority of states to dictate firearm policy within their borders.
“I would go to change the Second Amendment in ways that people probably wouldn’t expect,” says Cuban, who backed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and is mulling a 2020 bid as an Independent.
The billionaire entrepreneur said the Second Amendment should first ensure that Americans can own firearms without running a risk that the government will seize their weapons.
“One, every American citizen has the right to own a gun,” Cuban says. “Two, the federal government will never be allowed to ever confiscate that gun from an individual.”
Next, he said states should have wide latitude to determine gun policy within their borders.
“States have the right to manage the ownership—the purchase, ownership, and management—of guns owned and held within their borders,” says Cuban, a host of the television show “Shark Tank.” More
That just ruined his chance to run for POTUS. Let’s see, of Texas only wants conservatives living there so be it. If Pennsylvania only wants liberals living there do be it. Who needs a constitution. Mark please consult Joe Biden please.
Don’t “fool” around with success!

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
Just a pretty obvious way to try to screw with the Second Amendment in “Blue” States, to more easily deny citizens’ gun rights there. NEVER NEVER NEVER trust a man, especially a very wealthy one, who’d support a clinton or identify openly as a (d) in these days. They’ll keep picking away at ALL of the Constitution, first aiming most of their efforts at the Amendment that poses the most immediate threat to their agenda.
Nice try but the Constitution supersedes silly state laws.
Let’s honor the Constitution and tell states like MA, CA, NY, CT, OR, WA to get the F— in line with the supreme law of the land. They do not get to use Federalism to outlaw my rights.
Sorry but the 2nd Amendment cannot be improved! It formalizes a God-given right that cannot be infringed, PERIOD!
I remember Cuban saying on national TeeVee that Trump “will never be President, he’s lazy.”
Trump, lazy? I don’t think so Mark.
Marc once played President writhing Vice President Ann Coulter in a Sharknado movie.
Makes him an expert.😀
How about I keep all of my guns, leave the 2ND Amendment alone and you go have sex with yourself. Who is this guy again?
This guy is a one-trick pony. Sure, he’s smart, but he was lucky more than he was smart.
In any event: Cuban, take your politics to Cuba. See what you can do there.
NEVER trust a person who trusts a Clinton.
‘go have sex with yourself.’
Dan Ryan Galt’ tips hat!
That is the most polite way I’ve seen in a long time anywhere on the inter-web to inform another of what you really mean.
Reminds me of the times (2) I called out a couple of supposed Bosses as ‘anal orifices’ in emails and kept my job,,,
Nicely done Sir,, not insulting or F’ing with you all,,
Compliments, sincerely,,
@No Blushes – Another polite way of putting it that you might like:
I urge you to engage in autocoitus.
Yeah Mark, stick with your “Shark Tank,” and your “John McCain’s,” and stay T – F away from Our Bill Of Rights.
@Sgt York:
I agree in principle, but the 2nd certainly CAN be improved. Something along the lines of
And that’s just off the top of my head. I’d like to see any possibility of “interpretation” or weakening by means of claiming an “overriding govt interest” removed.
‘I urge you to engage in autocoitus.’
Taken to heart and added to my online dictionary Uncle Al,,
TY! You (and this is not meant insultingly),
Magnificent Bastard!
Smiles,,,
Still laughing ,,,
Go to hell Cuban. The second Ammendment is the second Ammendment.
How about, “Go forth and propagate the world by yourself.”
Anyone who supported Hillary doesn’t have the common sense to lead.
Secondly, if guns have been here since the nations founding and mass shootings are a recent phenomenon doesn’t it occur to you that the problem lays with something other than guns?
Cuban can eat shit. He’s just another ruling class democrat motherfucker thinking he’s pulling one over on people. Nobody in their right mind should believe any “improvements” on the 2A.
mark cuban is an attention whore.
nothing else.
so stop giving him attention?
“I’d like to see any possibility of “interpretation” or weakening by means of claiming an “overriding govt interest” removed.”
But Uncle Al, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are ‘living documents’ that must be interpreted in light of modern progress. /sarc
Infringed is a synonym for F**ked With.
To add to Second Amendment enhancements suggested by Uncle Al, how about the penalty for proposing gun control legislation is capital punishment?
Cocaine does terrible things to the mind Mark. Stay off it.
The founding fathers must have been space aliens…for their time to have the forethought the way they wrote the constitution back then then were a hell of a lot smarter than the stupid fux that have been trying to change it for over 240 years!
