General Gun Discussion

[Phaser11]

Just some more information

4 Descending  were the liberal leaning judges.
5 Confirming were the Conservative judges.

Took a bit of time to find who was what (Liberal / conservative)  Wiki for the most part.

Right down party lines.

Could you have guessed?  I won the shop pool! 10 big ones baby! (So there is only 3 of us.)

I could no be happier with this ruling!

Have a great Thursday!

Simpler that way.

The significance of the decision is that the court has taken the stance that the 2nd Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms and is not merely for the protection of state militias.

Strict interpretation of the amendment.  Im pleased.

Yes, but Mojava didn't get his way, so the thread is made in a baiting manner, like the generalization that all conservatives listen to right wing radio (Where's the generalization now, MT? )

this is only a small step for freedom, the gun baners are right now working on new gun restricting laws, the fight for freedom will never end.  The gun baners will never quit.

Same as right wingers against a women's rights to choose.. or right wingers against smut or what they think is obscenity or right wingers trying to push the bible to be taught in schools ect..ect.. They are all still hard at work as well.

Not that I'm against this ruling, I'm all for people in this country having the right to own guns but there are a lot of things the so called "conservatives" or right wing would love to force on you. So they are only for "freedom" if it's something they think is ok.. People that whine about liberals really need to look at the conservatives and the crap they try to push.

Sure liberals tend to be anti gun, but it's the so called conservatives that are out their taking away your rights. Then again this is the O Clulb and the only right anyone cares about is guns..

Same as right wingers against a women's rights to choose..

Just where in the Constitution did the Founder's put that one? The right to own a firearm has its very own amendment that specifically addresses the issue. Just where exactly is the word "abortion" or "woman's right to choose" in our Constitution? I have not been able to find them yet.

or right wingers trying to push the bible to be taught in schools ect..ect..

Push or allow? I think on that issue it's the question of being allowed to have the bible taught in their schools. Not to the exclusion of all else, simply that it be allowed IF desired by those choosing to take that class.

You must be referring to our Democratically controlled House and Senate renewing/expanding the Patriot Act? 

I'm a conservative for sure but I'm a libertarian even more.

There can be NO DOUBT that the liberals promote more nanny government rules/laws than any other US group taken as a whole.

[lazs2]

need I remind some of you...

This would not have gone well if algore or kerrie had appointed the last two supreme court justices.

I believe crockit and mojava have a huge problem in that they seem to not know what the amendments are.

There is no amendment that gives women the right to "choose" to kill their unborn..

It never ceases to amaze me how the two parties always seem to come together when it's time to do the wrong thing.

It would seem that this one gives women the right:

nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Crockpot just got so owned he probably doesn't even comprehend it..

Funny, I read that as expressly stating that women DO NOT have that right.

Amen! bro

And yet the little lambs continue to perform the same experiment while expecting different results.

When do we just toss these tossers?

[midnight Target]

Funny, I read that as expressly stating that women DO NOT have that right.

Read it again, I don't think "State" and "women" are synonymous.

[lazs2]

I read it that no one has the right to deprive another of life..  "choose" doesn't make it right.  Where does it say that you can deprive another of life so long as you call it "choose"?  does that mean parents can choose to starve kids to death?

Guns are allowed but bullets are strictly prohibited. Shows intent.

I think this is a landmark decision by the SC. This decision will over turn many gun laws in the US. Like the one in Morton Grove IL that bans all firearms within city limits. How todays decision will affect the gun ban lobbys remains to be seen. I'm sure it won't kill their efforts or even change their minds one bit on this issue though.
