The second amendment means what it says, says a Supreme Court majority. Fancy that!

Just the great Zero, King Richard II, and Shakedown Jesse Jackson. Each prime movers in the Chicago mechanism. Many subjects are beginning to question the royal edicts stamping out self protection, however.

I hope McDonald is able to exercise his rights, unimpeded by the "protection" from himself that his party desperately wants to inflict on him. Why do most democrats relish victimhood?

The D,C. Ban : District of Columbia v. Heller

The Supreme Court Ruled in Favor of The 2nd

Thread Started on Jun 26, 2008, 10:15pm

After listening to the oral arguments, from these Attorneys, I'm convinced that the Supreme Court acted entirely on their own, in ruling on this case. The vote was 5 to 4, therefore, I feel there are 4 Justices on The Supreme Court who would have been hung at another time in this nation's history.
I watched the Oral Argument on C Span this morning, from 2:18 until around 3:30 and never heard Clarence Thomas chime in. I might try to find more on who voted for or against.

One thing which baffled me on Heller's attorney is when the crime rate in DC was mentioned in the same context as reasoning for the ban. Heller's attorney failed to mention the crime rate had risen during the ban. I think it was Associate Justice Scalia who finally mentioned to the attorney with the crime rate as being a factor for people to bear arms in defending themselves among such a crime. It made me wonder if there should have been someone presenting this argument with more expertise in the area, like say Larry Pratt of the Gun Owners of America or Wayne La Pierre of the NRA.
A vote of 5 to 4 is too close for comfort, and I hope it never again comes to this.
Another thing was the Argument presented by the DC Attorney on the trigger locks. The Justices questioned the reliability of having a firearm for self defense when it is disabled by a trigger lock. They asked the DC Attorney how long it took to remove the lock, load the weapon, and what it entailed. The DC Attorney stumbled on his words a little and suggested the firearm remain loaded when installing the lock, or after installing the lock.
Bad Idea; One never places or removes these trigger locks, while the firearm is loaded. This is how idiots have all these incidents of unintentional discharges. If one were to view these hearings in order to come out of it with more knowledge on firearm safety awareness; you're better off not watching. There should be a disclaimer displayed before broadcasting any such hearings on firearms

The Attorneys and Associate Justices also discussed the use of the word "Arms" in reference to The Right To Keep And Bear Arms.
When used in the preamble, as they referred to in maintaining a an Organized Militia, they also presented the position that "Arms" was in reference to Military Weapons.
I thought "Arms" was considered to be the language, at the time of our founding fathers, when referring to Firearms. I then wondered how "Arms" was introduced into our language; so, I looked up the translations for Weapons.

Weapon : Any Tool Used For Fighting

Translations for: Weapon

Dansk (Danish)
n. - v?ben
v. tr. - armere, gribe til v?ben

Fran?ais (French)
n. - (lit, fig) arme
v. tr. - armer

Italiano (Italian)
arma

Portugu?s (Portuguese)
n. - arma (f), defesa (f)

Espa?ol (Spanish)
n. - arma, proyectil
v. tr. - armar

I then looked up some quotes from some of our founding fathers, on their use and application for "Arms" when referring to Civilians."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms".
Thomas Jefferson
"Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion... in private self-defense".
John Adams
