No right, huh? But illegals have a right to come here and the right to take my tax dollars and the right to give my kids’ diseases and the right to take my job. It’s all an act of loooove.
Tagline...
Heb! is as repulsive to me as Barky & Hitlery. I will never, under any circumstances, vote for that pandering loser.
...You don’t think those briefs helped win Heller?...
50 amicus briefs were filed in the Heller case.
Among the groups filing:
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department
Disabled Veterans for Self Defense
Citizen’s Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms,
(Who by the way financed the case and paid the expenses for Mr. Heller pursue it)
Its a little much to say Cruz was the lawyer who won Heller. He did contribute tthough. Do you know what brief he worked on? There’s a list on the internet.
Probably the most important brief was Mr. Heller’s attorney’s appellate brief.
Wikipedia, who is no friend of conservatives, thinks he did.
Dunno ‘bout that. You been payin’ attention to New York state and Connecticut and the home of Crazy, the People’s Democratic Republic of Kalifornia? They have been passing some some truly insane gun laws.
But you’ve gotta realize something. Maybe there will be some states where the citizens either don’t know or don’t care. But there will also be many more states where the citizens care, have the right legislators or vote through the Initiative/Proposition process to ensure their freedoms including gun ownership. You at least have the option of moving to a more preferred state.
It is important to realize that although not perfect, constitutionally-protected local/state governance is light-years better than unconstitutional interference by the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion mindless two-headed federal government beast who WILL, AS THEY HAVE ALREADY, TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOMS if given half the chance and you will have NO OPTIONS.
That ought to help him in the GOP primaries...
They were very lucky. Their parents were Romanian Jews and immigrated to USA settling in Brooklyn I think. This was before the rise of Hitler. The brothers were born after their parents settled here. You sure can't tell it in their speech can you?.
Problem is, we have plenty of instance of state legislatures legislating against the will of their people.
Yes, but the people have the ability to get them out of office. And in local/state governance, the people are much closer to the problem and are better able to deal with the problem through the vote or the Initiative/Proposition process, or if need be, the recall process.
As I said, local/state governance isn’t perfect but it is light years ahead of the darkness of lights-out federal tyranny.
And this ass wants to be president!
But NOT to infringe upon the enumerated rights in the BOR.
Maybe.
Personally, I hate ‘em all.
Tell that to New Jersey.
Of course. There will be some states where the citizens either don’t know or don’t care. But there will also be many more states where the citizens care, have the right legislators or vote through the Initiative/Proposition process to ensure their freedoms including gun ownership.

Well, you need local and state governance. And in matters of national defense, you need a national government.
But the benefits of all of the above, starting with the feds, have the ever-present potential to become malevolent, which the feds have become. It’s up to us to keep an eye on the chain holding the fox that’s guarding the hen house. In the case of the feds, We the People must reinstate the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land against the feds.
and she still breast feeds Billy and burps him and he enjoys every minute of it. The other Bush men are getting jealous. It's actually a tet a tet.
The states do have the right to limit the 2nd amendment, though. The constitution only says that CONGRESS shall make no law. It never mentions the states in that amendment.
No?
You obviously don’t live in California.
And just as a matter of interest; YOU ARE WRONG, The states cannot “legally” override the the BILL OF RIGHTS.
