Senator DeMint is one of the few rays of sunshine in an otherwise dark period.

Self defense, defense of your life, is not a right to be regulated by gubbermint, ask Justice Scalia.

Two points were made by the Supreme Court in the Heller decision striking down the DC Gun ban 1.) you have a right to defense of your life, 2.) you have a right to militia weaponry in common use to defend your country from tyranny, wherever it comes from. Both of these clarifications by the Supreme COurt are not going to sit well with Obamunists pushing Obamunism.

But then again, we can let Obama apply his very same interpretation to abortion and see how that twists out.

Is anyone surprised? Hussein believes that law-abiding people can be subject to involuntary servitude in spite of the Constitution clearly stating the opposite.

Here’s something that most of us probably don’t know. Black constituents, for the most part, are very much in favor of the Second Amendment including pistols.

Many suburban white Democrats would like to ban firearms, yes.

But I lived in a black neighborhood for a few years. All of my neighbors for several blocks were in favor of private ownership and carrying of pistols. That was also the general anti-crime and self-defense consensus for miles. Black folks are a more conservative lot on many issues than most white people know.

The freshman senator, who is up for reelection in 2010...

If he plays his cards right and by this I mean in his timing, he could ride the wave crest of a resurgent party and a resurgent conservative movement as the outrage over the real consequences of Obama's socialism come home to roooooost! 2010 could see the near destruction of the democratic party as they inevitably overreach because they feel the sheer power of numbers. They'll forget 1994 and it will come back and chomp them in the A$$.

We can make sure that criminals don’t have guns in their hands. We can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns.

Actually, Zero, we can't. Even in merry Old England, or India, where they have much stricter gun laws than we do.

Of course Obama believes in the Second Amendment and the Right to Bear Arms, just look at his record:

FactCheck claims that NRA advertisements “distort” Barack Obama’s anti-2nd Amendment positions, but FactCheck’s own sources prove otherwise. Even Obama’s campaign has refused to deny his most extreme positions.

These facts are taken from gunbanobama.com

“FACT: Barack Obama voted to allow reckless lawsuits designed to bankrupt the firearms industry.”

“FACT: Barack Obama voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting.”

“FACT: Barack Obama has endorsed a 500% increase in the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition.”

“FACT: Barack Obama has endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership.”

“FACT: Barack Obama voted to uphold local gun bans and the criminal prosecution of people who use firearms in self-defense.”

“FACT: Barack Obama refused to sign a friend-of-the-court Brief in support of individual Second Amendment rights in the Heller case.”

“FACT: Barack Obama was a member of the Board of Directors of the Joyce Foundation, the leading source of funds for anti-gun organizations and “research”.”

“FACT: Barack Obama supported a proposal to ban gun stores within 5 miles of a school or park, which would eliminate almost every gun store in America.”

“We can make sure criminals don’t have guns in their hands.” Oh really? Since when?

We all know that criminals will always be able to have guns Barry. And because of liberals like you Barry, the criminals can assume that 99% of their victims will be unarmed and unable to defend themselves against your welfare system born and breed criminals.

The real Americans out here know they are in charge of their own safety. Dialing 911 does not stop you from being harmed by a thug that is already in your house. We know that if we don’t protect ourselves, we may assume room temperature before the police find out anything even happened.

Heck, sometimes dialing 911 won’t even get the cops out to come over to find your dead body. A nice young woman named Brittany Zimmerman found that out last summer in Madison,WI.

She called 911 as she was dying after a brutal mid-day attack in her home, and the idiot 911 operator hung up on her. Her boyfriend found her body later that day. When Brittany called 911 she was already dying and unable to speak clearly so the 911 operator hung up and did not follow up on the call as she should have.

If Brittany had a gun, the perp would be dead instead of a nice young woman who wanted to be a doctor. Oh, the perp is still on the loose too. Madison has hired mostly minorities for a long time, and they pass on more qualified people who might actually know how to get a murderer off the streets. No white males need apply! Affirmative Action at it’s best in The People’s Republic of Madison!

It’s just the Dems looking out for their fellow partners in crime. They don’t want the serfs to have the ability to shoot back at the looters.

“But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right, in the same way that we have a right to private property but local governments can establish zoning ordinances that determine how you can use it.”

Big difference between determining how you can use private property and flat out taking property.

Nov 29, 2008 11:30 pm US/Central Police Chief Accidentally Shoots Self After Lesson MONROE, Ohio (AP) ― Police in southwestern Ohio say a police chief mistakenly shot himself in the thigh after giving his daughter a gun safety lesson. A police report says 54-year-old Middletown police Chief Greg Schwarber was preparing to clean his Glock .45-caliber pistol on Friday and didn't realize the gun was still loaded. The report written by officers from neighboring Monroe says the bullet entered Schwarber's leg just above the knee. When officers arrived, they found the chief lying on the floor with a towel covering his leg. Schwarber was taken to a hospital for treatment. CBS2Chicago

A: I think we can provide common-sense approaches to the issue of illegal guns that are ending up on the streets. We can make sure that criminals don’t have guns in their hands. We can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns. We can trace guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers that may be selling to straw purchasers and dumping them on the streets.

Then,, having done that, they would no longer need guns themselves,, right? I mean,, once they solved the gun problem by passing common sense gun laws, all of our police, FBI and even the Secret Service could disarm since there would no longer be any crime.

Why would they need their guns? Why? You see,, this is key,, this is not a foolish question,,, if they say they will stop crime by disarming Americans than they should disarm themselves as well. If not,, then neither will we be disarmed! They are not better than us! Their lives are not worth more than ours!

But of course,, we know the whole thing is a scheme anyway,, just a Marxist prop,, politicians are not better than the rest of us. They are not royalty,, they are not monarchs,, their blood is not purer than ours. We will not be disarmed!
