Second Amendment Momentum

So, now liberals are saying the Supreme Court's decision affirming the Second Amendment is really just the opening round in a series of new court cases which may ultimately negate the impact of the Heller decision.

They now argue that the ruling should narrowly be applied to just the District of Columbia, which is not a State. They are hopeful that another Supreme court case down the road will hold that states can assert their interests over that of the individual.

Liberals will never stop...trying to get the government to permit a broad spectrum of behavior - except for behavior that empowers the individual to protect themselves with a weapon.

They still can only see weapons as a force for evil - this viewpoint however engraved in their minds, will not be altered by common sense or countless tales of individuals protecting their lives. To the liberal - a gun is un-civilized - something to loath. Those that are attracted to weapons are small minded blue collar red necks - of the kind that Oh!Bama speaks of.

Now the NRA has started legal action based upon the recent Supreme Court ruling.

It may take years for this decision's ripple effects to be fully felt in places like Chicago, San Francisco and New York City. But the momentum is with those who savor liberty.

Now will the NRA attempt to get those poor citizens of the District of Columbia the ability to purchase a handgun in Maryland and Virginia. The Heller decision won't mean a thing until these folks can legally buy a gun outside of D.C. You can bet that it will be many months before D.C. allows any FFLs to be established within it's borders. Thousands of D.C. residents want to legally buy weapons today.

When will the ATF issue special regulations to allow FFL holders in Maryland and Virginia to sell handguns to the law abiding residents of D.C. ?

Don't hold your breath!
