The founding fathers were 100% correct in their disdain of urban centers. For this and many other reasons.
I know there are those who want the whole gamut of anti-gun laws eliminated all at one time, but it ain't gonna happen.
It is a war of attrition, one that will take time, the right case, and a strict Constitution SCOTUS.
Digusting that DC can even call itself an American city when it sees no problem with infringing on a fundamental God-given American right.
In New Jersey, you can get a concealed carry permit - ON PAPER.
But forget about getting it in reality. You need a judge’s approval and they only grant them to politicians, politically connected, armed guards on duty, and people who carry large amounts of money or jewels as part of their trade. Mysuspicion is it is the same in New York.
THey are running the very same case again. It reminds me of that scene in A Few Good Men:
“I strenuously object?” Is that how it works? Hm? “Objection.” “Overruled.” “Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object.” “Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider.”
It is on this point that I fear we will lose the vote of Justice Kennedy. We could have a 5-4 vote that would allow your right to keep and bear arms to go no further than your property....perhaps extended to your vehicle, but no further.
This is what I feared upon reading the Heller decision and the poorly worded "sensitive places" phrase that is so open to interpretation that you could run an aircraft carrier through it.
Simple solution...for every new law that is passed repeal one hundred old laws until you get back to the original Ten Commandments..then stop.
Calling something “mainstream” is a legal argument?
>The city of Washington, D.C. is mounting an aggressive legal defense of its ban on carrying handguns, calling it “squarely in the mainstream and eminently reasonable.”
Small note, a rifle (or shotgun) is not a handgun...
“D.C. Defends Ban On Carrying Handguns”
Given the racial composition of D.C., it would certainly not be hard to characterize this ban as racist.
The founding fathers were 100% correct in their disdain of urban centers. For this and many other reasons.
Washington DC seems to be a “sensitive” place to all but the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The city of Washington, D.C. is mounting an aggressive legal defense of its ban on carrying handguns, calling it “squarely in the mainstream and eminently reasonable.”
How obscene!
Since when is disarming victims “squarely in the mainstream and eminently reasonable”?
Since when is standing against the 39 States that have “shall issue” concealed carry laws “squarely in the mainstream and eminently reasonable”?
When are we going to stop re-electing these pompous jackasses.
See, why am I still not surprised...
Even when the Supreme Court of the United States of America tells them they are wrong...
They do not adhere to the ruling...
So Iguess that means when and if the government tells the rest of us tht the right to keep and bear arms is subject to open infringement...
We can tell the government to go take a long walk on a short pier...
I’m jiggy wit it...
Nothing was going to happen or change anyway with this case...I said that two years ago...
This is why it is so important for conservative Republicans and independents not to sit out general elections to punish the RINOs and country club Republicans. This is why it is so important to keep socialists from the Democratic party out of the White House and keep their choices off the Supreme Court.
