Your Right to Bear Arms is Upheld

Well it's no surprise to most 2nd Amendment advocates; The Supremes endorsed your right to keep and bear arms. I am disappointed that the margin of victory was slim. To win 5-4 just shows how the court is divided on ideological grounds.

The next President can stack the deck so that a later court decision can overturn this victory.

As for Oh!Bama. Mr. flip-flop now is trying to sound like this decision is welcome.

I hope and pray that you all are not so stupid.

This man will say and do anything. He is more of an opportunist then Bill Clinton ever was....and he is more dangerous.

The media is buzzing with the implications of this Supreme Court decision. It was highly anticipated- and it will bring the downfall of other extreme laws- but it will not cause the wholesale reversal of generic gun control measures.

John McCain is on the right side of this issue.

He is on the right side of the Energy issue also.

As each passing week provides a more revealing look at what this Oh!Bama person portrays himself to be, it becomes evident that you don't really have much choice in this election.

Oh!Bama is a danger to your life, liberty and everything else you hold dear. His approach will invite our enemies to test our lack of metal. He will raise your taxes. He will ensure that gas prices stay high.

Only liberals in denial won't admit the truth about what he represents.

I hope John McCain deals with Oh!Bama as ferociously and as wily as he dealt with his Vietnamese captors.

California Bans the San Francisco Gun Ban

In a victory for the un-fruits and nuts in San Francisco, the Calif. state supreme court has over-ruled the San Francisco ban on handguns.

But...don't expect SF pacifists to give up.

Quoting from an old Peter, Paul and Mary song.....Where have all the flowers gone

"When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn"

San Francisco Values

Those poor libs in San Francisco. Seems like they just can't get their way no matter how extreme they are.

The SF loons voted for a complete gun ban. This well suited 58% of the wimps living there.

Too bad for the other 42% of the population that might have just cared a little about protecting their own lives.

Luckily, a court just ruled the gun ban law is illegal.

Perhaps there is still some justice left in California.

Foreign Aid

In the last 48 hours the media is dancing with post mortums on the VT killings and some of the gratuitous crap is flowing from our enemies and friends oversees.

I just love it when the Brits, Germans, Aussies, French etc., jump on the bandwagon to claim that this tragedy is the fault of American culture.

I would remind them of the aspects of English, Middle Eastern and European culture that brought the world such events as the recent London bombings, the Madrid bombings, the French riots and the list can go on and on. Violence is not the sole purview of the US.

I will remind them who saved their asses numerous times in the last 100 years with our American values and culture, including are willingness to bear arms in their behalf.

So dear allies, enemies and do-gooders - stay the "F" out of our business - look to the weaknesses in your own societies that perpetuate ignorance, crime, and create a fertile ground for terrorism.

Columbus Seeks To Dodge Suit On Semi-Auto Ban

GunWeek.com reports that the City of Columbus Ohio has stopped enforcing its Assault Weapon Ban based on a new state law that went into effect in March.

"Columbus police suspended enforcement of the city’s assault-weapons ban on Mar. 14 as a new Ohio law took effect, wiping out many locally enacted gun controls across Ohio.

The state law, approved by the legislature in December over the veto of then-Gov. Bob Taft, says only state and federal lawmakers can enact rules governing the possession, sale and storage of guns in Ohio. According to The Columbus Dispatch, it wiped about 80 local laws off the books in Columbus, Dublin and more than a dozen other cities across the state.

The city of Cleveland immediately sued the state in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, contending that the pre-emption law violated the state’s constitutional provision for “home rule” which allows municipalities to adopt and enforce their own ordinances. Cleveland has enacted several, especially when it comes to firearms. The Ohio attorney general will be in charge of arguing against the city in support of the new firearms preemption statute.

Columbus considered its own suit or the possibility of joining Cleveland’s county court lawsuit, then opted for a free ride."

This is a growing trend in the nation. If you think your local law should not be voided by the state, just cite "home rule" as your authority and sue.

Something similar is going on in Texas, where local law enforcement was told to keep arresting drivers found with loaded handguns even if a new state law allows it.

Now the politicians in Texas, Cleveland and Columbus may actually believe their municipal rights were usurped. However, municipalities seeking to challenge a state law need to suspend their enforcement of the ordinance in question otherwise citizens are left in the lurch and at the whim of local officials.

DC to Appeal Federal Court Ruling

Per information coming out of the Mayor's office, looks like the District of Columbia will ask the full federal Appeals Court to reconsider the decision on Parker. The request for review allegedly will happen tomorrow April 9, 2007.

I have learned that the content of this request in summary will go like this.

Whereas the citizens of the District of Columbia requiring the need for safety in their homes, businesses and streets in order to protect same, request that in consideration of the following factors the decision of the court to overturn long standing District gun control regulations be reversed.

The salient factors for the Court's consideration are:

• The District of Columbia is an elitist environment, therefore the elites do not require protection normally afforded to average Americans. They are protected by their faith in local law enforcement to be there when a dire need arises. In any event whereby LEOs are not available these citizens will resort to their superior linguistic and negotiating skills to ensure that potential assailants are rendered harmless.

• The consequences of not reversing this decision are catastrophic. All faith in local government will be lost if in fact this decision arms the local citizenry and that action effects a decrease in violent crime. Hereafter all claims by local government as to any proposed regulation for the advancement of the safety of the populous that in anyway impinges on the lifestyle of citizens will be derided.

• Given the demographic, cultural, political and racial components of this great city, it is likely that these citizens, unlike most in American will proceed to use "legally" acquired weapons in a manner inconsistent with the intent towards self-defense. The population of this great city can not risk empowering those who are inclined to self-defense today because many of them will be inclined to resort to using these new defensive tools without first recourse to other alternative methods of conflict resolution.

For these main reasons, we respectfully request reversal of the March 9Th decision of this court.
