why is everyone so happy? we were just told that the constitution was constitutional by one un-elected egotist.
We need to prepare ourselves for this to be “reviewed” and “corrected” in the near future. Right now I am almost positive that a nutbag anti-everything group in the jurisdiction of the 9th circuit are sharpening their pens.

We're only guaranteed the freedoms and liberties we're willing to fight and die for.

Not to rain on your parade, I understand the sentiment, but when exactly was the last time anybody fought against the government to protect their freedoms and liberties?

Waco comes to mind...

The whole concept is almost at “tooth fairy” status. Sounds nice and wonderful, but just ain’t so.

fkabuckeyesrule: Am I the only one bothered by the fact that it was only a 5-4 vote. A precious freedom like the second amendment passed by just one vote.

I'm not happy.

You know what happens if you're caught driving without insurance? Or if, God forbid, you have an accident without insurance (assuming you're legal at all)? The statists will get us one way or another, friends. You can own a car without a license but you can't use it; you can't drive it without registration and insurance. You have to get gasoline somewhere too...

And so it'll be with firearms. You'll need to register, insure, license, buy ammunition, and if it's lost or stolen or mishandled in any way, kiss it goodbye, and your license too.
