The Heller ruling changed my life and my wife's.
That same day -- which we now call Heller Day -- we each purchased a new handgun from a local gun store.

Oh?
What’d you get? (if that’s not too personal a question).
Something powerful yet concealable I hope...

Great post. And, the pen is mightier than the sword. Journalists do a lot more damage than even irresponsible gun owners.
To: Ouderkirk
Mr. Journalist who wants to abolish the Second Amendment, Before publishing your column calling for the eradication of gun rights did you do all of the following? a) Undergo a Federal background check to see if you should be allowed to exercise your First Amendment rights. b) Fill out and sign an affidavit to testify that you should be allowed to exercise your First Amendment rights.
Well, the founding fathers could never foreseen Full Autos etc etc they say....
On the other hand could they have seen a NATIONAL NEWSPAPER?
Could they have seen RADIO, let alone TV?
All good reason we should OVERSEE these items also in the fashion you listed...../sarc

Editorials, columnists, anchors and pundits predicted it would result in an American Armageddon.That may have been true had it gone the other way.

What all these editorials from antis ignore (I’m not sure if this is willful or not) is that this decision doesn’t make it legal for convicted felons to buy guns. The criminals will keep getting their guns from the places they’ve always got them—burglaries.
To: P8riot
“Editorials, columnists, anchors and pundits...”
The people who know the LEAST about what it is like to live as a “typical” working American.

Envy, greed, jealousy, gluttony, anything but logic. Trying to reason with them is like trying to huff and puff and blow the wind away.

“Mr. Journalist who wants to abolish the Second Amendment,
Before publishing your column calling for the eradication of gun rights did you do all of the following?”
Great summary which reminds me of something old Joseph Stalin once said: “Ideas are more dangerous than guns. We don’t let our enemies have guns so why should we let them have ideas?”

Actually, some of us CAN sword fight (and have actually used similar wooden weapons in self defense in more than one instance) LOL

I hope you don’t mind - I kept a copy of that in my computer for future use. It’s just too good to let it die.

The original article was a good tongue-in-cheek piece.
Nothing better to fight alarmist doomsaying than to simply illustrate their own arguments back at them.
