The moron libs on that Oregon Live site are still arguing the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. Most of them dont even know that SCOTUS ruled on that a couple years ago.Well, while the morons are wrong on the merits in this case, just because SCOTUS says something doesn't make it true. Roe is 39 and it's still wrong. Wickard, Casey, Raich, Kelo, and the recent O-Care decision are all wrong. SCOTUS is probably wrong as often as they're right, if not more.

I was dumping some crappy .22s at a buy-back in NY state and an old gal walked in with a perfect condition M-1 in its original U.S. tan canvas case. The officer told her to take it to a gun shop and not to take less than $500 for it.Kudos to the officer for not being a hoplophobic drone or accepting the turn-in and keeping it himself. An actual public servant. Hats off.

It did restore my faith in cops. Of course, he was an old-timer and didn’t appear like the new SWAT Team (all ‘civilians’ are the enemy) type.
Seriously, I’d have paid the old gal $500 in a heartbeat. The rifle was pristine WW2 era.

Central Precinct Sgt. Tim Sessions said the police did not have a problem with the buyers on the sidewalk. "They have a right to buy guns," Sessions said. "That's in the Constitution. So that doesn't bother me a bit." Sessions dismissed the possibility that the sidewalk buyers would then sell to "undesirables. That's not the case. These people know what they're doing, They know the laws. They know they'd lose that right if they did sell to the undesirables." Equally unlikely, said Sessions, who assisted the foundation with its guns buyback for nine years, is the notion that gang members would be among those turning in guns. Perhaps it's a result of being exposed to a disproportionate number of anti-gun cops, but I found the sentiments expressed by this officer to be refreshing and heartening. Good on him. :)

They detest us, yet WE are the haters! From a site I visited with details on the story, a lib talking to himself and my reply.

Alan, why do you argue with the haters?
Because you cannot help yourself is not a good excuse.
You see, Alan, they will learn their own lessons, on their own time.
Youre right, Alan, best to serve the world by sticking to positive news and calling out the filth when I see it.
Correct, Alan, but not becoming it at the same time.
Good point!

To which haters are you referring? To those who hate the direction in which our soon-to-be-former-republic-if-were-not vigilant is being taken by acolytes of Marx, Cloward/Piven and Soros? Those who hate the fact that there are many who would refuse to execute the guilty for horrendous crimes but insist that the innocent may be slaughtered for the crime of being inconvenient? Those who hate having hard-earned money taken from their pockets and redistributed to others who have done nothing to earn it, and who will do nothing to improve their own lot in life except vote D for more free stuff? Maybe those who hate the fact that much of our media distorts or refuses to cover stories that will reflect badly on a particular political party or upon a protected demographic, truth be damned?
