This destroys the Brady Foundation, the Clinton era attorney's arguments, the Million Misguided Mommies Marcher arguement that Gun (firearms) should be taken away from American Citizens.

How the h*ll did that happen after eight years of Clinton packing the courts?

My take on this is that now the ball is in Emerson's court, which is a good thing! Now that we have a 2nd Amendment friendly AG in office, who would not have be inclined to appeal a loss on 2nd Amendment grounds to the Supreme Court, all we have to do now is to take the initiative to appeal to the Supreme Court ourselves... and if I'm not mistaken, that is just what the Second Amendment Foundation is planning!

Now if Al Gore would have won the election, we all know he would have had an anti-gun AG... Under that scenario, I believe that the 5th Circuit would have swung the other way in not only upholding the individual rights interpretation of the RKBA, but it would have upheld Emerson's district court win as well, because in that case the AG would have appealed to the Supreme Court.

Don't you see that now we have the perfect opportunity to make lemonade out of the lemons we have been handed???

What do you think?

The gist of this story has already been previously posted on FR, but nonetheless is important to warrant yet another big ol' posting to the bang_list!.

Kudos to SAF for taking the lead on this. It isn;t the perfect decision, but we gained much more than we lost.

One has to wonder how it is that they could argue with a straight face that the phrase, "the people" means different people from amendment to amendment throughtout the Bill of Rights (which was adopted all together as a block of 10).

HOooooorrraayyyyy. This is such good news.
I can see them changing their pants already!!!!

This is an awesome ruling. However, it only affects 5th Circuit states. The gun-grabbers will still be enforcing the federal law against men who keep guns (all woman needs to do is allege domestic violence and obtain an "ex parte" order for protection which the courts hand out like candy), without any conviction - based upon an angry wife or girlfriend's say so. Hopefully a similar ruling will come down from the US Supreme Court one of these days.

Good news! Thanks for the post.

Time for America to do away with ALL laws that violate the 2nd amendment.

Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment
will see that there is no constitutional authority for any type of gun registration
and *there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
*NOTE Vermont is the only state that understands this!
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.

How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

NOT ONE SENATOR FROM EITHER PARTY VOTED AGAINST THIS
AND THE NRA HELPED DRAFT THE BRADY BILL.

Ok, so tell me....how does this affect what that doo-doo brain Governor in California just did by signing into law a new bill which says gun owners in California must be licensed?

[supercat]

“This is truly a victory for firearms civil rights,” said Dave LaCourse, public affairs director for the Second Amendment Foundation. “For years, gun control extremists and constitutional revisionists have insisted that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms. We now can say with the support of the federal court that we have been right, and they have been wrong, all along.”

How is this a victory? The Court has ruled that even though there is a Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, such right only applies insofar as the government can't claim its restrictions are "reasonable", and such rights may be forfeited without any substantive due process.

[SuperLuminal]

Good news bump.

***American Citizen's Right to keep and bear arms is Guaranteed by Second Amendment ***

I wish Gov. Davis (Calif) would realize this.
