More background checks and regulations for owning a gun than there are for coming into the country.
Think about that a minute. :)
Anyone participating in restricting 2A rights should be hung for Treason!
PERHAPS THE SECOND MOST DANGEROUS THING TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS IT TO ALLOW A CERTAIN CLASS OF CITIZENRY TO PLACE THEM SELVES ABOVE AMERICAN LAW ESPECIALLY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
MANY OF OUR RIGHTS, CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER WISE HAVE BEEN LOST, PERHAPS HAD THE 'GUN FREE ZONE' NOT BEEN A LAW, THE ORLANDO SHOOTINGS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
Private citizens could own cannons in the colonial days. Needed them to protect ships from piracy.
I remarked to the wife today that she could lodge a false, unsupported allegation about me to a judge, get a restraining order, and my 2A rights would be stripped. I’d have to turn in any weapons to the local police, or otherwise dispose of them to an authorized recipient. Even if I got the order overturned, I’d have a hell of a time getting the mess undone.
But, this imported Afghani Muslim crazy (whether born here or not), this anchor nut, could not have his gun ownership touched even after FBI investigation. WHy is that? It’s because under President Muslim, some residents (not necessarily citizens) are more equal than others. This guy had co-workers who complained he was a dangerous loose cannon—but because he was a Muslim, they were ignored.
My wife made an interesting comment: We’ve heard from Snowden about how much the NSA knows about us, and how we have no privacy. Where were they on Mateen?
The timing is no coincidence. Between SCOTUS and other judges legislating from the bench and a non-Constitutional DC, something wicked this way comes. We need to pray and brace ourselves for harsh times.
Simply put, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate civilian firearms.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that powers that the states have not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
It is disturbing that federal gun laws which regulate civilian arms seem to have started appearing in the books during the FDR Administration, FDR and the corrupt Congress at the time infamous for making laws based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers.
Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control
In fact, where gun control laws like Florida’s law prohibiting guns at businesses where alcohol is served are concerned, the 14th Amendment gives Congress the specific power only to make laws to protect citizens from state laws that abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, 2nd Amendment in this case.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
But I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for corrupt Congress to do its constitutional duty.
Remember in November !
The worse mass shooting was done by the US Army at Wounded Knee, 297 dead after they turned in their weapons, most killed were wommen and children
Jefferson said, “You won’t need the second amendment until they try to take it away from you”
A 4-4 ruling means that the lower court ruling stands until the SC makeup changes and a new case comes up to them.
Who is still thinking of sitting this election out because they don’t like Trump?
No ID for voting, but ID to buy a gun??
Arm Up! They Are!
This is going to go badly for America.
Since they have taken over law-making with the concurrence of Republican Party leadership, I guess the USSC presumes they are not bound by “Congress shall pass no law ...”
