Health care, immigration, gun control. Each of these are potential flashpoints and all are being pushed, through one method or another.

The crack-up will occur prior to the 2010 election. That is why people in Congress will vote for healthcare and not worry about the next election cycle. There won't be a next election cycle.

I fiercely love the right to keep and bear arms and would enjoy sseing all gun laws rescinded, but once govt takes over the health care industry we’re not going to have to worry about our gun rights - they’ll be gone. A govt official will declare gun owners “unhealthy” and any gun owner would then be denied health care and, to really convince him to stop thinking like a free man, they will also deny care to his wife and kids. Could this happen? I think it’s possible. Remember a few years back where children’s doctors were asking “Is there a gun in the house?”

I see another 5 - 4 for the good guys, IMHO. How could citizens of D.C. have more rights than citizens of Chicago?

Does anyone actually believe Sotomayor will recuse herself? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Both petitions challenge a Seventh Circuit Court ruling that the Amendment does not restrict gun control laws adopted by state, county or city government, but applies only to federal laws.

Am I English challenged? What the heck kind of backwards talking society are we living in? The Second Amendment as written, applies to all jurisdictions. However, the First Amendment does not. Congress shall not

So the busybodies are running around arguing that you can't pray in schools and have to allow pornography locally on First Amendment grounds when it contains a Congress shall not statement, yet local jurisdictions CAN ban guns when the Second Amendment does not contain a Congress shall not statement.

Incorporation is the next logical step after Heller. Justice Kennedy will likely vote for incorporation, since he did vote with the Conservative Justices in Heller. The Liberal Justices will vote against hearing this case and will vote against incorporating the Second Amendment. They will rely on stare decisis, to defend the 19th Century cases which ruled the Second Amendment did not apply to the States based on reasoning that was meant to convert the Fourteenth Amendment into a nullity.

PREDICTION: 5-4 for incorporation, with United States v. Cruikshank (1875), Presser v. Illinois (1886) and Miller v. Texas (1894) overruled. Opinion of the Court written by Justice Kennedy, with the primary (possibly sole) dissent written by Justice Stevens.

The Commerce clause must be undone ... That is where all this crap federal cram down springs from

The Civil War Amendments were racially based Amendments, incorporating the Bill of Rights for the new freedmen. The Democrat's racist southern governments tried to impose “black codes” which prevented former slaves from possessing guns.

These “Black Codes” were specifically designed to subjugate these recently freed slaves to be defenseless and at the mercy of the Democrat party's terror wing, the KKK. Congress passed a few laws to try and remedy this problem, but it wasn't until the Bill of Rights was incorporated did it become ‘fixed’.

Incorporation was specifically designed to force the several States to incorporate in their Constituions the federal Bill of Rights. So if this goes down ... does it become unfixed and depending on race you can control who owns a gun, or who has free speech, or (put your favorite right here)

Of course the "Civil War Amendments" did nothing to stop the Democrats terror wing, the KKK, whose influence finally dropped off in the 1950s.

Going to be an interesting time.

So you ask how did the Democrats remain in control of the southern states, quite simple, they had their terror wing, the KKK, go out and lynch the political opposition. Yes that's right, more whites were lynched by the KKK than were blacks, and for the same reason ... Intimidation and control.

Every Freeper should be a member of the NRA. Enroll in an extra gun group if you feel the need but the media and the leftists hate and fear the NRA above all others.

Please join.

I can live without incorporation, if they’d rule that the Commerce clause prohibits federal regulation of arms.

My brother and I had a good talk yesterday. There is only two or three things that will really set a person off.

Take away his food. Make him hungry.
Take away his method of personal security. Take his guns.
And take away his roof. Throw him out in the cold.

The leftist aka progressive gun haters have forced the pro right to bear arms side into using reasons for a right. You know reasons like defense, hunting, collecting, and of course target shooting.
There is only one reason for a right. It is your right.
