Keep on upgrading Congress at every election turning over Rinos and Dems to keep them in check. I think there’s a good chance we get 12 to 20 extra seats in the House and a fairly good shot at getting 60 seats in the Senate.

And did not Christ warn us all those many years ago about those that sit in the seat of Moses. Perversion is the theme of these days. The ‘state’ is god.

Indeed Scalia is right, none of the first 10 amendments so the Federal Constitution were ever intended to restrict our States.

We have State Constitution’s for that propose, and most free State Constitutions garrentee the right to keep and bare arms.

WE HAVE NO NEED FOR WASHINGTON TO TELL US WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO WITH OUR OWN STATE!

as can speech, thought, religion and everything else.

Exactly! I would love for him to defend a state's right to establish an official religion - much as Maryland was once officially Catholic. I mean, either you believe in state's rights or your a selective and hypocritical douchebag - and I assume he's not one of those.

I think you are avoiding the bigger picture here. Scalia just handed the libs a club, and they are going to use to great effect for the next 20 plus years. Scalia must be about to retire, so he’s worried about all of the nasty books that are going to be written about him. Even if he believes what he is saying, why say it? Unless you have jumped ship and now believe all of the liberal hype that something MUST be done?

Um . . . yeah. 'Cause the "Bill of Rights" limit the federal government only. Technically under the Bill of Rights a state may have an official state religion, curtail freedom of speech, or regulate guns.

Consistency, people. Let's let the Left be the hypocrites.

Scary guns... Aren’t they exactly the type of guns that the 2nd Amendment was supposed to protect? Why is Scalia ruling on ANY of these issues if the 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply to the States? The Supreme Court has lost its collective mind.

Well, Switzerland (at least some of the cantons) allows a citizen to buy artillery, like howitsers, and they’re on mil surplus sales. But swiss rules are under socialist attack too.

Don”t wet yourselves.

State Governments having basic police powers to regulate arms, i.e, heavy weapons, artillery, is nothing new.

Banning shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles does not infringe upon the right to keep and arms.

Banning citizens of the possession from owning semi-auto firearms and detachable magazines greater than 10 rounds does infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms.

You are correct. He spoke of “bearing arms” which means something that can be held. That being said, a SAM, while it can be held, can also reasonably be regulated.

I heard him also and I agree with you completely! He was being careful not to make an absolute pronouncement one way or the other because it is not possible for him to know exactly what will come before the court. IMO, we would be fortunate indeed to have eight other judges just like him!

Agreed. He did not make any sort of alarming statement. His statement got my attention because I knew some would overreact....and of course our opponents might seize on it. He was simply saying there is clear precident of limitations, and specifically referenced state level limitations. We cannot own nuclear weapons, for example. He also was careful not to pre-judge any future cases by not taking a position that nothing can be limited. No concerns here.

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. Leftism is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.

Satan is smarter than we are, and he never sleeps. Those over whom he has the most influence are like maniacally evil energizer demons.

Every once in a while one of them escapes, like David Horowitz, but who knows how or why?

Thank you!--and I agree. I listened to him, and he did not rush to say guns SHOULD be controlled; he said the issue could always be brought up and discussed, and that even the Founders had some controls--i.e. muskets, hand guns--yes!--cannons, no!

I will take 3 more Scalias and 3 more Thomases, and keep Alito.

Then we have to make sure that the laws are never passed.
