Author Topic: Breaking News DC Gun laws struck down (Read 1505 times)

MT... I am wondering what you think of this.. I believe that several times in the past you have said... "name one gun control law that was struck down on constitutional grounds".

There were gun control laws struck down before but they always skirted the constitutional aspect.. this is a clear case tho.

This opens the floodgates... I believe star of africa is correct.. the "liberals" (one world socialists) are quaking in their boots. the deck is stacked against em and even a hillary can't help em.. best to lay low... hope the win big in 08 and hope some of the good supreme court justices drop dead.

The second is what it is... it is an individual right and we (the U.S.) has been abusing it's citizens constitutional rights for a the last 7 decades so far as the second.

The whole thing started to unravel when concealed carry laws got in and there weren't mass shootouts over fenderbenders... the socialists and gun-o-phobes really lost a lot of credibility with reasonable Americans, gun owners or not...

The whole "hunting" thing is losing it's focus.. it was easy to ban guns if you could twist the second into a "right to sport hunt" but....

That is not what is happening... the people are starting to see that they need to be responsible for their own safety and... there are lots of non liberals still who have the guts to take that responsibility.

This law focused on handguns and their ability to make a citizen free from the tyranny of crime.

The weenies will have to get the focus back on hunting and national guard but... no one is going to buy that crap anymore... they will have to work to change the second amendment...

interesting times... meanwhile... 80-100 million Americans sit on over 200 million guns and are starting to take an interest in what is happening.

millions of guns were sold last year.. the NRA increased it's membership... Women are the fastest growing segment of the new gun owners.

the lies aren't selling anymore.. the gun free zones are just shooting galleries for the insane and the criminal... our schools and big cities are slums.... dangerous slums where good people are at the mercy of the bad.

I think we need to take up a national collection to help arm the DC innocents! A .45 in every home!!! That would cut down on crime for sure.

Who's in?

Nope I can't get behind that idea. There are too many felons that live there to support arming every household. Some of them "work" in the very halls of government and I definitely wouldn't want to see them armed. They might shoot their eye out......... on the other hand that could be a "good" thing.

I'm still waiting on Charon's reply, he always has something cool to say on this subject.

LOL. I've been too busy calling my state reps the past couple of days trying to head off SB16, the latest Illinois AWB coming from Gov. Daley's office in Chicago. If DC stands, then there is hope that I may not have to move out of state anytime soon. Been looking at property in both Kenosha, WI and Chesterton Ind. for a variety of reasons. Cost of living being one for the family (wife wants to have a 2nd kid and take time off work), the 2nd being one for me.

Not to mention state sock puppet figurehead Balgovitch is ready to do all sorts of California style tax and spend stuff, where I will be taxed and not get any of the spend in return.

Charon, I hear they have a couple of Concealed Carry bills working their way through the Illinois legislature right now.

http://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=1304&GAID=9&GA=95&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=26943&SessionID=51

In the nearly 1 month since its introduction it has reached a point to be debated in the House. I realize Gov. Roddy is a Daly puppet but with enough support they can outvote him. They did it in Kansas. If you want to rally some legislators, get them behind this one.

The other bill is (I believe) one for concealed carry for judges and prosecutors and public defenders? I heard mention of it but lost track of it. Dont know status on that one.

I like to hear news like this. It proves there is still some common sense out there, and heroes willing to go the extra mile to defend freedom.

Why do you think that's funny FastFwd? Don't you have anything else to offer?

Les

Leslie · « **Reply #40 on:** March 11, 2007, 08:48:47 AM »

Or I should say don't you have more to offer?

fstfwrd.. are you really as frieghtened of firearms as you seem or are you just parroting some views of a former boyfriend or professor?

Lazs, let's be realistic here. It has nothing to do with firearms. What it has to do with is freedom, whether it's firearms or anything else that's legal. People are jealous of that and it doesn't necessarily apply to anyone in particular. I could say the same thing about paintings for example...hardly something to get upset about, unless it amounts to slander or character assassination. And this happens all the time with the media, just look at the comics on any editorial page of a newspaper.

I know one thing, if I was a criminal I wouldn't want to get shot. Does that not make sense or what? Firearms are serious business and anyone who carries one needs to be very serious minded. There is nothing funny about it.

Well said Leslie. I have gotten to read what gun owners have to say most from the O'Club. Just doesn't come up in conversation amongst friends here though Wyoming likes guns.

Most posters who are passionate about the 2nd amendment I find to be very serious about their opinions.

The experience though of reading through a slew of posts does not leave me with the feeling that they are "serious minded" generally.

That could be due to the nature of this forum which has more than it's share of jocularity, scarcasam, etc.

On a side note, at work the other day, I asked a woman for her ID to process her check -- I work in a grocery store -- and she handed me her laminated card that stated it was her license to carry a concealed weapon.

1st time I've ever seen one of those.

Good Post,
