How can they ban any particular weapon, esp. in light of the Supreme Court decision this year, which said that individuals have the right to possess firearms? That decision confirmed what most of us thought the 2nd amendment means.

Do liberals just ignore court decisions that they don’t like, and pretend that it never happened?

Why weren’t all gun control laws null and void after this Supreme Court decision; does anybody know? All abortion regulations were thrown out on Jan 22, 1973, when the Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a civil right. So if we have a similar civil right to gun ownership, how can these gun laws still be enforced?

The 2nd doesn't specify which guns we're allowed to own. So the rats use that to say they're not violating the Constitution because they don't want to take away all our guns. Just the evil ones.

The "evil" ones, you see, have a habit of sprouting little gun legs and getting up in the middle of the night to create mayhem. They mess up the house, leave the refrigerator door open and unlock the doors. They're evil.

It's called fascism.

The democrats will implement a series of communist style laws that will restrict the sale of ammunition. They will also ramp up their efforts to restrict/ban the sale of semi-automatic weapons. While I am uncertain of how they will do it, they are evil and they are lawyers so I am confident they will find a way.

Because Obama is a proven pathological liar, I am expecting the absolute worst case scenario for America.

Scalia did not say all gun regulations were unconstitutional, and that is the loophole through which the libs will try to ban semi-automatic weapons - if Obama keeps his promises that is. He seems to be getting more “pragmatic” about things now that he has won.

Try buying a machinegun made after April 19th 1986.
