“As for the media, WHAT MEDIA?”
The media that needs to find out just where on the food chain they really exist. They are perfect examples of the “useful idiots” Communism is so fond of... at least they’re fond of them as long as they’re useful, then they’re cannon-fodder. In the meantime, those they’ve spent barrels of ink and millions of pixels to demonize will finally get tired of them and start picking them off.
Clinton did it in Yugoslavia... we can do it here!
Hell Yeah!
Really? You’re kidding. Cameras? Never knew that.
Thank God for Texas! Greg Abbot isn’t going to play with the commies either...lol. I almost wish Obama tries his unconstitutional power grab today so we can start impeachment proceedings. Time to tame the tyrant.
Excellent point buckeye!
This video is pretty good proof that they are all a bunch of idiots. Great video.
We have crossed the Red Line. Confiscation is the Dead Line.
We will see what the Big Cheese says today.
Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment. We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849 (1997) , and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27, 35–36 (2001) , the Second Amendment extends, prima facie,to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.
Scalia also makes clear that one of the purposes of the Second Amendment is to protect against tyranny:
There are many reasons why the militia was thought to be “necessary to the security of a free state.” See 3 Story §1890. First, of course, it is useful in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections. Second, it renders large standing armies unnecessary—an argument that Alexander Hamilton made in favor of federal control over the militia. The Federalist No. 29, pp. 226, 227 (B. Wright ed. 1961) (A. Hamilton). Third, when the able-bodied men of a nation are trained in arms and organized, they are better able to resist tyranny.
... That history showed that the way tyrants had eliminated a militia consisting of all the able-bodied men was not by banning the militia but simply by taking away the people’s arms, enabling a select militia or standing army to suppress political opponents.
Sadly, however, it probably doesn't matter. I see the Constitution (that "little book") bearing little or no importance to the liberals now in power.
Let’s Roll!
Civil war is coming.
Which begs the question, “Why has California been so silent on this issue?”.. I realize Cal has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country (+10 mags not allowed) but their silence on this matter is deafening.
