Well, the decision finally came down from SCOTUS affirming what we all knew.
Specifically, that the Second Ammendment to the Constitution is in fact an
individual right. The actual wording for the decision is up at Warrior Talk. All
americans should read it as it is a monumental step.
Some points.
There have been talks about how narrow the decision was. Good heavens, we only
won by one vote! The lesson for us there is to illustrate two things. One, how
divided the nation is on these issues. Politicians like to ignore this division,
but it is there. And it is there on non-compromisable issues. The freedom to own
and carry guns is only one of them. We are reaching a point where we simply not
only cannot, but choose to not, get along. Two, the judges voting against this
were almost all appointed by democrat presidents. How do you think this would
have gone with judges appointed by John "Flip Flop" Kerry, or Al "The Sky is on
Fire" Gore??
Let's remember that in November. What would an Obama America look like?
The text of the decision is somewhat narrow and that has concerned some folks.
Remember that this was not a case directly about the Second Ammendment, but
rather about one guy living in DC wanting to buy a gun to keep at home. So this
case doesn't kick down the door to invalitate gun laws based on constitutional
issues, but it does unlock that door. The rest will be up to those who want to
make an issue about a given law.
I think we have the potential to invalidate many state and local laws that now
are open to attack as they do in fact violate our constitutional rights.
Secondly, I think that several Federal Laws are also open to attack due to
Heller. Namely the so called Gun Control Act of 1968, which is a clear and
blatant violation of the rights of Americans, as well as older laws such as the
National Firearms Act of 1934 (dealing with machineguns and such).
As I understand it, the NRA is already taking the offensive. All I can say is
FINALLY!!! If they take an aggressive stance and begin taking ground, I will
support them 100% in any way I can.
Second, we have to keep in mind that this happened under GW Bush. For that
matter, so did the AWB sunset. Like him or dislike him, I cannot think of any
other president under whom this would have happened. Certainly not Clinton, and
certainly not Obama. Lets bear that in mind in November.
It is notable that this decision coincided with the issuing of "Economic
Stimulus" checks. Perhaps more aptly named "Ashamed Of Stealing So Much From
You" checks, but I digress. I quickly used mine to buy ammo for my Kalashnikov
Rifles, as well as a new Glock Pistol.
June 26th will now be remembered as FREEDOM DAY in our organization, and the
faithful should celebrate it by buying something gun related, whether a bullet,
or a Ma Deuce machinegun.
