Importantly, it will likely take a long time before any of these reforms would pass; but the short term benefits are to hit the gun control leftists on their exposed flank.
They have been playing offense for so long, they have overextended themselves, so hitting them hard where they are soft with inflict serious damage, force them to divert resources away from gun control, and especially throw off the timetable of their attack.
I’m going to draft a letter to my pollys.
While these states were furthering 2nd Amendment rights, others were severely restricting them.
Our freedom and rights today may well be hanging by a thread, fwdude.
You were no doubt thinking of various state legislature re the 2nd A. But can you imagine what would have happened if one had opened their front door for the Boston storm troopers with a handgun tucked in their belt?
What if the troopers had barged into a residence and confronted an occupant who had been stirred out of a deep sleep and reached for his handgun?
Does the "public safety" excuse now justify any breach of the 2nd or the 4th?
It is my understanding the FBI had assumed jurisdiction. This was not a "hot pursuit" event, it was a dragnet based on flimsy evidence at best. Will there be a federal congressional hearing on this brazen display of governmental arrogance, with any meaningful corrective action?
One wonders.
We cannot control the lies of dishonest men. But we can control our own actions & words.
Let us see to it that our actions & words are both noble and worthy of the cause of liberty. Rest-assured we shall not go quietly into the darkness.
Conservative should take heart, while Washington remains a corrupt machine.
Our States remain our best hope for freedom. It is in our States that we have the Left beat more than 3 to 1. As long as Washington does nothing we need not carry the fight to civil disobedience anywhere except in Colorado and New York where democrats have demonstrated how totalitarian they really are.
“That is a good idea. Federal judges need to be limited in a lot of other areas, too.”
Frankly I’d like to see almost every one of them kicked out.
The only Federal court we really should have is the Federal supreme court, and their job should be limited to deciding jurisdiction and disputes between the federal legislative and excutive branches.
If that is too much work load for them then maybe a few lower courts can be established specialized in the particular areas.
If Lanza ran over the kids in the School Crosswalk driving his Mother’s Chevy Suburban, GM would have had its most profitable month ever because Obama would want SUV’s banned.
Oh that’s right, it only counts when Evil Guns are used by Criminals. My mistake.
I love this country!
Thanks neverdem.
