If SCOTUS decides against the individualist view of the Second Amendment and sets up a situation where the Federal Government COULD (and understand that I’m not saying they would) begin confiscation in the name of “public safety”….Wouldn’t they begin by diggiing into the CC license and over-the-counter gun sales database?

If you go to the link that Atheling provided and click on the link for the gun shows you will see that they teach the courses necessary for a CC at the show. Although, a number of people are qualified without having to go through the course. My military record established my qualifications. I went through the procedure at the show in Fredericksburg (next one is 1-2 Aug). I got the FL license rather than the VA one because they have an agreement with 37 other states to recognize their CC. It took about 2 mos after sending the money and paperwork to FL to receive my CC.

Thanks for the link!

And just for the record, I’m not proud of the fact that I received a “stimulus.” But I figure I can at least spend it on something the Left hates.

We could always get a shock and the Supreme Court decides that it isn’t an individual right. That likely won’t happen but we still don’t have a clue how far a decision in favor of individual rights will roll back gun control laws.

The problem is that as long as the Supreme Court is beset with non-constructionists, they could say just about anything on the 2nd Amendment…this in a nutshell is the problem: The Supreme Court is increasingly irrelevant, because they do not read the document and adjust their decisions for original intent…”precedent” has become a bobbing and weaving non-squitor term.

If they don’t respect our Second Amendment rights on the court as plain as it is, then their opinion does not matter to me….

The danger of this though is good people will get killed by criminals and government elites who will use these wacko edicts like the one where dangerous foreigners have the same Constitutional rights as we do, and the non-politically accountable judiciary will decide what goes and what doesn’t go on the War on Terror according to these wunderkind…and worse your neighbor hood “public servant” will send goon squads to confiscate your guns at the slightest excuse

The only problem See-Dubya is that John McCain’s own credibility on fighting gun control is as phony as Obama-I have a very long memory.

John McCain too had no problem throwing the NRA under the Bus whenever he wanted

Good call love2rumba and so true. I always love how people will say that someone, like McCain is 85% on an issue, but when that issue is a constitutional matter, I don’t see how that 15% is a not an attempt to erode our liberties. If you vote 9 out of 10 times for a 1% reduction in our taxes, but that 1 time is a 15% increase, am I supposed to love you?

Besides, the NRA to McCain is a HUGE special interest and according to our 1st amendment loving Congress and McCain, special interests are bad, because you know, they represent the interest of people and all and how can that be good? Right, er, maybe. Hard to follow logic when there is none, sorry.

Amen Bro!

I go shooting every day and the range is getting more crowded.
