If you dont read anything else today, go read this.
Yet, notice the pertinent language of the Second Amendment: “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” In stark contrast to the Fourth Amendment, the Second Amendment does not say gun rights “shall not be unreasonably infringed.” Reasonableness has nothing to do with the matter, nor does crisis management. How could they? The Second Amendment aims to maintain the people’s power of self-defense, including against the government. Since that is the point of the right, nothing could be more unreasonable than to allow its restriction by the government.

The wording now is “shall not be unreasonably unhinged.”
Obama has made sure people have become unhinged.
I guess this is about, what, 100 years too late?
As Mark Levin often says, we’re living in the post-Constitution age.
The words don’t mean sh*t. All that matters is whatever any five (currently, four) SCOTUS justices say it says.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified, using broad language, that powers 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.
And while the states have constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to support and regulate the armed forces as evidenced by several clauses in the Constitution’s Secton 8 of Article I, the states have never constitutionally delegated the specific power to regulate civilian-related arms imo.
It is disturbing to note that federal regulations for personal protection firearms seemingly didn’t start appearing in the books until FDR was president, FDR and the Congress at that time infamous for making laws which Congress could not justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control
The Left uses every, single bogus excuse it can muster to come after law-abiding firearms owners.
Get ready. Just like mass murderer Mateen in Orlando, and before that two murderous, radical muslims in San Bernardino, the lefts’ attack drumbeat has started once again—while the victims still fight for their lives.
Here the murderer was a black power radical who admits to hating white people, but once again the fault lies with us racist, bigoted palefaces and our evil firearms.
Here’s their logic: We shouldn’t judge all members of the ROP on the actions of a few, but all gun owners should be judged by the actions of a few hate-filled minorities.
The left is deranged. It’s no wonder they are so hateful.
And, dare I say, “UN-FREAKIN’-REASONABLE”. Look up unreasonable in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of some asshat lib.
