A better GOP candidate than McCain could club Obama over the head with the Heller decision for the next 5 months.

Add domestic drilling and building a border fence, and we could have another Republican President.

But we don’t have a better Republican candidate, so we will simply await our rights under the Obama Court.

Twas always thus.

His is the Horoscope affirmative action Candidacy.

In 2003 Hale DeMar, a Wilmette homeowner, shot an intruder who had broken into his home for the second time in 24 hours. After Demar was charged with violating the village’s handgun law while trying to protect his family an Illinois legislator sponsored a bill in 2004 to protect homeowner’s who use their guns in self-defense.

Obama voted against the bill and voted not to override the governor’s veto of the bill even though it had overwhelming support of lawmakers and the public — it passed 41-16.

So how does the media’s belief that Obama supports an individual’s right to own a gun square with the fact that he voted against allowing individuals in Illinois to use a gun in self-defense? It doesn’t and don’t expect them to let the public know.

So Obama’s right about what we cling to, just wrong about why. We cling to guns as an inalienable right and we cling to God as the only entity capable of keeping the governments grimy paws off of our rights.

Novak: Can one bitterly cling to an individual right?

Yes it was a very good 2nd Amendment Right victory. However IMO, the court didn’t go far enough and left to many open holes in the ruling. The 2nd Amendment has 27 words, and all it would have taken is a one page response, instead of 151 pages of babble. The very reason for the Bill of Rights, and Amendments was because the citizenry felt left out of the Constitution, and demanded individual guarantees. The framers kept the wording very simple, yet, our courts have written thousands of miles of rulings, and in the process have whittled away at OUR basic guarantees. WHY???

It’s mostly air.

And then, after campaigning as someone who “respects people’s gun rights”, in his first State of the Union Address he just gave us that s**t-eating grin of his and drawled, “Yew send me th’ Brady Bill an’ I’ll shore sign it.”

He did, however, have enough deductive ability to realize that it was the Brady law and the “assault weapon” ban which cost his party control of Congress and most state legislatures two years later.

The only difference I foresee between the two, as President, would be that Obama would be in a perpetual snit about how people don’t realize how brilliant he is, and keep asking him to explain his actions.

After all, gods are not supposed to have to keep explaining themselves to mere filthy mortals.

SECTION 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.

My collie says:

Coming from you, CC, that’s just empty praise.

If the “messiah” is elected, they should move the White House to the international space station.

My collie says:

Because in the vacuum of space, no one can hear us scream?

He’ll be “President Moonbeam”.

My collie says:

Whaddaya’ bet that Jerry Brown gets a cabinet position?

Make sure it is in your State constitution…

I just emailed my representatives here in NY. Oddly enough, it’s not in our Constitution :)

The DFW gun range rents weapons for use on the range….including full auto machine guns.

You don’t know what scared is until you see your wife hammering away on full auto.

If Barry does try to pull a grab when he is in office I don’t believe he will find much cooperation down here.

But his supporters are so hypnotized that many of them will not notice, and some who do will just accept it as another kind of change.

Aren’t some of them now using Hussein as their middle name to indicate brand loyalty? I doubt his double talk causes them a moments discomfort.

Make sure it is in your State constitution…

Maine’s got it covered:
Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned.(Emphasis mine)

After Heller, even the ultra-liberal congressman from southern Maine praised the decision. This state has a very high rate of gun ownership and concealed carry permits and our gun crime rate is extremely low.

I think Springfield Armory should invite the candidates out for a day of BBQ and target shooting, there to present to each man a match-grade M1A. The future CinC of the military should at least be able to competently handle and shoot a rifle, no?

Film the entire event and put it on YouTube; Obama’s Dukakis moment.

Never has a naked emporor made it so easy for others to remove his imaginary garments.

But his supporters are so hypnotized that many of them will not notice, and some who do will just accept it as another kind of change.

1836 Texas: “Every citizen shall have the right to bear arms in defence of himself and the republic. The military shall at all times and in all cases be subordinate to the civil power.” Declaration of Rights, cl. 14.

1845 Texas: “Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in lawful defence of himself or the State.” Art. I, § 13.

1868 Texas: Every person shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defence of himself or the State, under such regulations as the legislature may prescribe.

1876 Texas: Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.

Current Texas rifle, shotgun, and handgun law:

Permit to Purchase NO
Registration of Firearm NO
License of Ownership NO

Because a citizen of Texas has no requirements to register or license a firearm the exact number of firearms in the state is unknown. Best guess estimate is that 41% of households have at least one weapon.

God bless Texas!

And they call us brainless zombies. Oy vey.
