Employees and others also cannot bring their guns to the federal court building in Dayton, said U.S. District Court Judge Walter H. Rice.Judge Rice was appointed in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter. He is 80 years old. Judge Rice entered senior status in 2003, when he was 66. He is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Dayton School of Law. Senior status means he receives full salary, but can have a reduced workload at the District Court.
"Federal installations are not bound by the state law except in certain situations which I don't think are relevant," Rice said. "My opinion is that it is not applicable to federal facilities unless the federal installation decides to adopt that portion of the law. What I said applies to the parking lot as well."
Rice said Ohio's expansion of open carry and concealed-carry laws concern him.
"I think open carry (and concealed-carry) laws, with all due deference to the Second Amendment, which I support...are dangerous to any community because of the epidemic of mental health issues throughout this country," he said. "Putting guns in the hands of mentally incompetent people is a recipe for disaster."
Judge Bork couldn’t find the RKBA in the 2nd Amendment either...
It’s not up to “judges” like this jerk to tell us what the Second Amendment means. He is part of the government. The Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment to defend ourselves from jackasses like this buffoon. It’s up to us to tell him what the Second Amendment means.
“Judge Rice is 80 years old.”
Then I look forward to soon reading his obituary and then reading about how he’ll be replaced by someone who respects the Constitution.
Can the jask ass read English?
Guess I missed “...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless somebody thinks their wack-o-doodle..” portion. Maybe I dropped a page or two. He supports the 2nd amendment the same way the margabby kelly-giffords travelin’ puppet show does. FIDIOTS! Yeah, I know people that I would rather not be in possession of firearms. I’m sure there a quite a few out here that know these people.
“Judge Rice was appointed in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter.”

That’s explains everything. Idiot president appoints an idiot “judge.”
The real reason the LEFT hates the 2nd is based on their FEAR of the ARMED to come after them.
Hmmmm ..?? Seems to me to be more about the LEFT’s guilty conscience re what they do to the Right; but don’t want to be held accountable for their actions - like ObamaCare.
Federal laws must be reasonably based on powers that the states have expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds. A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had put it this way.
”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.
Noting that the gun-related clauses in Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-related powers, clauses 12 through 16 reasonably directly or indirectly reference arms only in the context of military issues, Congress has no express constitutional authority to legislatively address arms issues outside the scope of military issues imo.
In fact, it is disturbing that federal gun regulations for non-military use arms seem to have started appearing in the books during FDR Administration, FDR and the Congress at that time infamous for making laws which they had no express constitutional authority to make.
Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control
Also note that the congressional record shows that John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A), had included the 2nd Amendment as an example in his clarification of personal constitutional rights that the states obligated themselves to respect when they ratified 14A. (14A was ratified under very questionable circumstances imo.)
"Mr. Speaker, that the scope and meaning of the limitations imposed by the first section, fourteenth amendment of the Constitution may be more fully understood, permit me to say that the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, as contradistinguished from citizens of a State, are chiefly defined in the first eight amendments to the Constitution of the United States." — John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe (See 2nd Amendment in middle area of 2nd column.)
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”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.
But why are state laws NOT bound by the Constitution? What is it about "Shall not be infringed" that confuses them?
The second amendment does not exclude the insane or even freed criminals. If you should not be armed, you should not be running around loose.
The Bill of Rights was first ruled as not applying to the states in 1833.
Then there was the Civil War.
Then the Fourteenth Amendment.
Then selective incorporation,
Then the Heller and McDonald decisions incorporating the Second Amendment.
Cute pics.
