Heller II: Heller Harder

This should be a slam dunk. But.. with the liberals on the courts and the support for the corrupt DC government in the MSM, the protection of our rights is under attack.

[TexasRedeye]

WOOHOO! Finally, some legal action against this bizarre action by Fenty and his whackos! Go Heller!

The only way to put a stop to DC's monkey business is to force them to respect the Second Amendment.

The only way to put a stop to DC's monkey business is to force them to respect the Second Amendment.

IMO the only way is to get a large number of people "spontaneously" to announce that they have firearms in their homes, various types, newly acquired or not, registered or not, and thereby offer the authorities an opportunity to do something or nothing. Given the fatty, sluggish condition of govt these days, they just might do nothing, but at the very least they wouldn't do anything right :)

It wouldn't take much organization, and wouldn't amount to an insurrection. Just a little passive aggressiveness on the Potomac.

I’m surprised that the original wording passed muster. When it says that “Only marriage between a man and a woman...”, it is ambiguous. The literal interpretation could be that other types of contracts, unrelated to marriage, would not be recognized. Better wording would be: “Marriage between only a man and a woman...”

I suspect that you meant this to be posted in response to a post on the California referendum. Did you post it on this thread by mistake?

There IS another way, but I believe it is illegal, at least, in "modern" times. :)

[mkjessup]

And mentioning that “other way” is unfortunately contrary to FR posting guidelines but I know exactly what you mean.

Commissar Fenty and his crew need to personally experience the “thrill” of gun ownership, then they might have a better appreciation of the Second Amendment.

It would only be illegal if the totalitarians won. Otherwise it would be an extralegal method of seizing the reins of government from those who abuse their authority.

[mkjessup]

I like the way you think.

[lrb111]

No need for Fenty and his minions to make any real permanent changes. After all the Obaessiah will be in office in just 6 short months and all this Supreme court claptrap will disappear. /sarc

I really do believe that’s how he thinks.

[magslinger]

We’d better hang together. It beats hanging separately.

[mkjessup]

According to my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson, they won’t be hanging me FRiend, and I suspect you have the same friends. ;)

[Joe Brower]

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is exactly what I thought would happen.

[The KG9 Kid]

Heller returns to court to get a judgment against the city of DC that will read “A semi-automatic firearm is not recognized as a machinegun. Also, stop screwing around with the trigger lock and disassembly requirements. The US Supreme Court already spelled it out for you ignant peanutheads on the city council.”

[Dead Corpse]

Short rope, tall tree.

Bucket of tar and goose down feather pillows.

Repeat as necessary until these morons figure out "shall not be infringed" will be ENFORCED...

[Dead Corpse]

Extralegal? The Declaration and the supporting documentation (Elliot's Debates, Anti and federalist Papers, Etc...) all point out the citizens ultimate Right of defense and redress via force of arms. This was why RKBA was codified in the BoR to begin with.

Difficult, dangerous, and "a last resort", definately... but hardly "extralegal". Maybe "supralegal" would be a better nomenclature. It is "above" the law, not "outside" it.

[Nebr FAL owner]

Goose down feathers are to good for those bozo’s get a bunch of chicken feather pillows instead.

[Gritty]

I don't know why anybody ever thought the anti-2nd Amendment Liberals would respect this decision. They've always been against the Constitution.
