Do a self search. You've been ping'ed to two different threads.

So, the Supremes ducked another 2nd Amendment case. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

...Help me out, here!...

It's simple, the SCOTUS is made up of a bunch of weasely skunklicking puke bastards who should be rounded up and deported to Zimbabwe or worse.

Tell them this:

"In short, the Silveira attorney led with his (and our) chins. He brought a foolish case, and persisted even when it was clear that he had no reasonable chance of success on appeal. His failure to file a reply brief was terrible. The fruit of his labor is a horrendous Ninth Circuit opinion which will harm the Second Amendment for years to come." -- David Kopel

Looks like this is still current!

It's a good thing cert was denied. The plaintiffs in the case were criminals, and the 2nd Amendment issue was not cleanly presented.

There are other cases coming up in the federal courts with better, law-abiding plaintiffs and with the issue of 2nd Amendment more crisply presented - see the Parker case in the DC Federal Court:

The supreme court knows that the 2nd Amendment says that the people have the right to own firearms. However actually ruling so would go against their political agenda, so they refuse to hear the case.

Basil, the link in post #12 is a great place to start... just skip the first 4 paragraphs where he's preening himself with his accomplishments, then you'll get to the Silveria analysis. Work from that, and you should be able to respond to *spit* CBS articulately.

Thanks for typing in CAPS LOCK, YOU CAPS LOCK FREAK!

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

There's only one way to take this.If they refused to hear it ,it is because the second amendment means what it says.The first ten amendments deal with individual rights and thats where the second amendment falls.

I guess "International Law" does not cover citizens arming themselves for self defense.

Now, if this had something to do with the old poop shoot, well you KNOW the SCOTUS would be all over it.

Blackrobes want the 9th's Left Coast to simmer so the citizens' God-given rights, affirmed by the clear wording of our Bill of Rights, will die down.

SCOTUS has just ruled that our 14th's "equal rights" clause means nothing - to them.

Blackrobes' assault gavels are attacking our RATIFIED Constitution. SCOTUS has been making rulings and speeches stating that they must incorporate more EU law into their decisions. Especially the girls. NOT the "GOOD BEHAVIOR" required of their terms of office.

We citizens must vote into Congress honorable people who will impeach and remove from the courts those who openly attack and undermine our RATIFIED Constitution, the only Law of the Land, Rule of Law, from which they derive any and all of their limited, temporary power. Otherwise, we must rely on our Bill of Rights as written and meant.

Professional agenda driving dastards bet that our Bill of Rights can be nullified through judicial fiat and passing more notoriously unConstitutional laws. To date, they have been correct, always just a few degrees warmer for us frogs. The consent of the governed is being tested by incumbants' tyranny.

IMHO, that is the reason why islamists chose to attack us openly on 9/11/2001. WTC I, TWA 800, and USS Cole did not work because of the Clintons' self-absorbed corruptions.

Americans shall not be disarmed by this government. If Gen. Tommy Franks, Ret., is correct in that our ratified Constitution will be scrapped for martial law when nuke/biowarfare ignites on our soil, then we shall have an exercise in self-government, Mr. Jefferson. This professional, career government is both usurping its limited authorities and refusing to defend our soveriegn borders against the ongoing criminal/islamist invasion.

Self-government is long overdue.
