Just wait! I’m bitter and I’m in the middle of getting my gun cleaning kit out because it’s 20 gauge shot-gun day at church tomorrow!

The wife and I celebrated the Heller decision by watching our copy of Top Secret especially for the skeet surfing scene last night. Sometimes you just have to turn the brain off sit back and enjoy the show no matter how out there it is. I will have to go out to the desert to my favorite target shooting area this weekend and squeeze off a couple rounds to celebrate.

Its time for every person who have had their Constitutional rights denied, to sue the hell out of those Governments who bullied us out of them.

Its only when it really stings that liberals get the message.

Take a page out of the ACLU play book.
Its worked great for for them.

The ACLU sues under the guise of Civil Rights and when they win they get court costs. I don’t know if that would work for us but I hope someone smarter that I am is looking at it.

Guns and surfers?

Probably not a great idea at the moment, See-Dubya

Stevens adds a cite which DESTROYS his own argument.

The Virginia Declaration of Rights ¶13 (1776), provided: “That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free State;...

Militia = EVERYBODY

Makes me want to go out an buy a couple of colt single action peacemakers and a double rig gunbelt, a ten gallon hat, and cowboy boots. I already have a nice little .54 cal. saddle gun. Strap those babies on, shove my 12 in. bowie knife in the belt, (with burmuda shorts and a Hiwiian shirt in this weather),then go to the worst crime ridden street in DC, and let the punks know there are some new lawmen in town. Their names are Colt, Smith and Wesson, and Winchester, and to hell with the Washington elites. God I love this country! Anyone know where I can rent a horse?

I am pleased the justices (don’t think they know the meaning of the word) passed this, but can not believe it was 5-4. Shame on them. It should have been 9-0 because anyone who can read can see it was an absolute no brainer.

And as for a license, phttttt! If they can find a way to make criminals get a license then they might have a reason to make me get one. I resent needing a FOID to remain law abiding.

My biggest desire right now is to see Chicago and Illinois forced to change their stance on concealed carry. (I always have been a dreamer)

Let us not forget who the NRA is: the NRA IS US! We got what we were fighting for. While I don’t support much of what the NRA does, I do support and respect their political clout, the clout that the membership provides them.

The signs in the Fox News pic say it all:

Legalize the Constitution

and

The Second Amendment: My Gun Permit

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

As a NRA life member, it pains me to remind my fellow MM readers that the NRA had nothing to do with the Heller case. In fact, early on they actually tried to impede this case from going forward. When they realized the plaintiffs were pressing forward, the NRA they tried to get the plaintiffs to let NRA attorneys handle the case and let them muddy up the issues by including things like carry law restrictions, waiting periods, etc…The NRA was told (and I believe correctly) to sit down and shut up on this one. Alan Gura and the Cato Institute had it under control.

Don’t get me wrong, the NRA is a good organization, and every gun owner should join. Now that we finally have a good 2A precedent, the NRA needs to challenge other totalitarian gun laws around the country.

Unfortunately, there are a few big ego attorneys at the NRA (where aren’t there?). And although yesterday’s decision was a big win for freedom and gun owners, a few of them are quietly miffed that they can’t take credit for the biggest gun rights case in US history.

To them I say, get over it, that was yesterday. There is more work to be done. Get busy!

They hide behind the facade of security while their real motive is control.

Which is the essence of just about every argument we conservatives make today about both Democrats and Republicans.

This ruling will need to be expanded upon, and some changes made, particularly where licensing and regulation are concerned, but overall, it’s a good ruling in support of the Second Amendment.

I’m surprised more liberals aren’t pissed.
