Thanks Joe,

I’ve been keeping a very close eye on this case and there is a lot of stuff happening that we aren’t seeing. The anti’s are freaking out because the USSC has expressed an interest in a 2nd Amendment case and this is giving it to them on a silver platter.

I also think the USSC knows that after the Kelo case, they better be darned careful about how they deal with this. The gun owners in the country are really not happy right now and it wouldn’t take much for many of them to get another civil war rolling. The USSC knows this and they also know about the abuses of the BATFE (they have copies of “The Gang” published by JPFO 2007) and they know that the pressure cooker is near the fail point.

Combine this with the miserable fact that the Republicans have basically abandoned the core group that gave them Congress in 1994 and you see how the USSC is very likely to not only rule in our favor but will do so to neutralize the 2nd Amendment as a political issue.

I see the USSC deciding broadly, incorporating the 2nd into the 14th and wording the decision as to remove the fire under the pressure cooker. They will not only eliminate the ban in DC but they will broaden the decision to include any ban under the criteria set down by the appelate court.

This case will be the pivot point between salvation of our nation and the next civil war. We can’t really afford a civil war with the world wide political scene and the USSC had damned well take that into account in making this decision.

Also, the political entities should really like this on both sides. It’ll take the 2nd off the political radar and change the fight for control of the Government in Congress and the White House.

A broad decision in our favor will give most sides a lot of what they want. Anything short of that is putting this nation in dire straits.

Mike

I hope you are right, but I fear that this is a very dangerous time to be trying a case like this. Most of the USSC judges are not on our side, and this could result in the 2nd amendment be reserved strictly to the State. We have already lost the 1st amendment (CFR), and risk loosing it all on this case.

I disagree. Katrina pretty much proved the lie in “from my cold dead hands”. We had a whole lot of guns stolen by the government and zero resistance.

No, I rely on the courts as the public ARE sheep.
