Today’s column discusses the Supreme Court.

A militia of one…

At least the NYT’s had the good grace to fling that steamy, nutty loaf of BS on the Editorial page. I’m surprised they didn’t run it as a headline.

SCOTUS RULES...AMERICANS WILL DIE!!!

As we expected though, all the democrat controlled urban breeding grounds for murder, assault and numerous other violent “traditions” are now scurrying to find ways around the ruling. Daley in Chicago is claiming the ruling only applies to DC. and won’t be enforced in his city.....kind’a like voter fraud laws aren’t enforced in his cty either.

“I just went and read the (New York Times’ opinion) and now my left arm is tingling, there’s a tightness in my chest and my vision is blurring.  Is that bad?” (Bill)

Then they’ve done their job as journalists/editorial writers !!!

Don’t worry Bill that is just the appropriate response to “All the News Thats Fit to Slant.” Flames usually come out of my eyes. That is how I intend to set that piece of tripe on fire....

The NYT can kiss my entire, big, fat, hairy warthog.

“as early as 1939, it (the Court) made it clear that the Second Amendment only protects the right of the people to carry guns for military use in a militia.”

Pure, unadulterated, steaming B.S.  The court made very little “clear” in U.S. v. Miller.  Which is why we have this current case.  If it had been “made clear,” this case never would have made its way to the court. 

I just went and read the whole thing and now my left arm is tingling, there’s a tightness in my chest and my vision is blurring.  Is that bad?

I know that this discussion is about the law involved in this ruling and not justice or God forbid common sense. It is not at all difficult in any country in the world to get a gun of any description if one is a criminal. We all know that the bans only prevent the honest and likely to be shot types from acquiring one.

The Editorial in the NYT today is probably the most stroke inducing disgracefully biased piece of journalism I have read in a long while. It is entitled LOCK AND LOAD and I printed it out so that I can have the pleasure shortly of setting it on fire and watching it burn to a satisfying white ash.

“The Supreme Court on Thursday all but ensured that even more Americans will die senselessly with its wrongheaded and dangerous ruling striking down key parts of the District of Columbia’s gun-control law.”

I know that statistics can be made to do the tango but I found these numbers a while ago doing some research on something related.

D.C. passed the nation’s strictest gun laws in 1976.
During the 32 year life span of the ban, with the exception of a few years when the city ranked 2nd or 3rd there have been more killings per capita in Washington DC than any other major city.
Perhaps they were not all gun killings but in a practical way to the victims it probably didn’t matter very much. When all else fails everyone has two strong fists with which to pound another into oblivion.

Another very interesting fact.
In VA. not a single Virginia permit holder has been involved in violent crime.

The venerable Times says that “as early as 1939, it (the Court) made it clear that the Second Amendment only protects the right of the people to carry guns for military use in a militia.
I think that all the gun advocates should form militias all over the country and start marching to our own drummer.....

Of course it should be upheld, Roger - it was so effective!

Here’s a great Howard Kurtz article detailing how the media is doing all it can to cover up Obama’s previous support for gun control.

This is my favorite passage…

“The record will show that our home-grown shooters have blown through the city’s so-called strict handgun ban like John Riggins going up the middle. Over the past 20 years, there have been more than 6,500 homicides in the nation’s capital, most committed with firearms, predominantly handguns. In 1976, the year the ban was put in place, the District had 135 gun-related murders, according to CNN. Last year, the number reached 143. Thus far this year, we’ve had 85 murders.”

It’s my favorite because this guy is arguing that the ban should have been upheld!!!

OK, I hadn’t seen the King article yet - I had read the E.J. Dionne article and some other hyperventilating lefties screaming, wailing and gnashing their teeth about this horrific abuse of judicial power. 

Now my head really is going to burst. 

Please pass the duct tape.

Here’ a link to the King article in case anyone missed it, although apparently Bill found it as his exploding head would indicate.

After all the arguing of what words mean and original vs public intent ect are over, you still have the obvious...something so simple even a 2 year old could understand it.

The Bill of Rights was written to protect individual liberty...not gov’t power. It is the definition of self imposed stupidity to argue that the Second Amendment was stuck in the Bill of Rights as the lone amendment ...speaking of the “people”...but intended to grant gov’t a power.

Breyer is the only “tool” that needs limiting as far as I’m concerned.

This is why I have so little respect for highly educated intellectuals. An illiterate Mexican day laboror could argue as well as some of the idiots. Probrably better.
