MS: Checks and Balances; House Acts to Restrict Judicial Gun Bans

In Mississippi, the legislature is moving to prevent abusive infringements on the Second Amendment by members of the judiciary.

As the Nation and the States move to restore Second Amendment rights, there is a inevitable tension between government entities.  The system was designed so that various power centers in the government would act as checks and balances against abuse of the power by other branches of government.  The legislative, judicial and executive branches were meant to check abuses of the other branches power, just as the state governments were meant to act as a check on federal power.  From clarionledger.com:

State Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, who filed House Bill 571, said the proposal would prevent a judge from issuing an order to prevent a person with an enhanced permit from bringing a gun into a courthouse.

“Some judges are putting orders out to include parking lots,” Gipson said.

The House passed the bill 78-42. However, it was held on a motion to reconsider, meaning it could come back up for more debate before it can be sent to the Senate.

Gipson said the aim of the bill is to clarify what constitutes a courthouse and courtroom.

This situation is echoed all over the nation.  The solutions vary state to state.  In Texas, local governments who ban guns from government buildings are subject to fines issued by the Attorney General, if they refuse to follow the law.  In Kansas, public buildings must have metal detectors and staff to prevent people from exercising their Second Amendment rights, if firearms are to be banned at all.

The legislature should protect us from excessive judicial power, the judges, from excessive legislative power, and they both keep tabs on the Executive, and the Executive on them.

At least, that is how it is supposed to work.

The most successful system tried, thus far.

Hillary Blames Gun Manufacturers For Deaths Of People Shot By Guns, Promises To ‘Go After Them’

It’s pretty disgusting when she tries to use the deaths of children to advance her gun attacks. She also fails to get that the weapon used was not an automatic, it was a semi-automatic Bushmaster XM15 E2S rifle.

So if a gun store sells the gun, what she is saying is that they are inherently to blame if somehow that weapon is ultimately used in a criminal shooting. So is someone also to blame if they make a knife used in a stabbing? A brick used by someone to bash someone else in the head? A tire iron to beat someone?

Even Sanders who comes from gun-friendly Vermont looks at her with, “What is this insane woman saying?”

The people responsible for people who are shot are the the people who shoot them.
