It would be nice to get a few of them tried, however, it might get the ball rolling.

Guns should regulated similar to cars.

Some great rebuttals already, just wanted to add the obvious (since I’m a master of), The Constitution does not say “the right to own and drive an automobile shall not be infringed”.

Although they right to bear arms is being infringed.

Dick Heller managed to register his revolver with the DC police.

So, you’re saying that there’s a problem with my Terawatt Plasma Rifle?

That depends on whether the framulator mogrifies horizontally or vertically.

The wording as it understand it, is regular handguns/weapons not like rocket launchers or laser weapons.

This is why state “PERMIT” systems are unconstitutional for mere possession of an object, at least in my view. “INFRINGED” seems to be the key word on any restriction on firearms but thats just me.

What’s the UN’s position on all this?

The “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” part.

Sorry, Mr. Beard, but Heller left significant room for restrictions:
“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. …the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose…[N]othing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on…laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”

Just what part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED do they not understand?

The handgun that Mr. Heller tried to register in 2002, the registration of which was ordered by the courts, is a nine-shot revolver. It is fully registerable under D.C. law as it stands today, and Mr. Heller will have it registered to him.

There are significant, practical limits on the number of arguments that can be put together in one lawsuit. In our case, we chose to focus on the handgun and functional firearms bans – and that was plenty work for the courts to consider. Litigants do not have unlimited space in the briefing, or unlimited time in argument, and there is a significant strategic advantage – as we have demonstrated – in keeping constitutional litigation focused and narrow.

That does not mean that the rest of the D.C. Code with respect to firearms is constitutional. Much of it is not. But the entire code was not directly at issue in our case.

Whats the difference Heller’s pistol only held 8 rounds 7 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber.

I wonder if this S&W would be legal since it doesn’t load from the bottom..

heres a picture of it all jazzed up

Yeah, I just didn’t get Scalia’s wording. I mean he overturns a ban. That implies people will be having guns they could not lawfully have before. That’s the frigging point.

Like the gun that tried to get a permit for i think that should have been approved.. that is in common use.. hell, the magazine was what 7 rounds? please..

A Tauraus ultra lite .38 carries quite nicely in the back pocket when wearing an untucked button down shirt.

And don’t laugh, but a single action Northern Arms .22 mini mag is the ultimate in conceal carry. Get one of those double ended detachable keychains for quick release, put it on a lanyard, attach it to the gun and wear it like a necklace under your shirt. Or, once again, carry it in the front or back pocket of your blue jeans.

I keep semi autos in the truck ready to go.

I’d stay away from fanny packs.

BowHuntingTexas on July 17, 2008 at 8:13 PM

My brother, sheesh that dude has lots of guns, has a Colt jr. .25ACP fits right in your front pocket! LMAO

(Its small so make sure the target is close like right up on you or you will probably miss)

It gives insight into why the Supreme Court worded its Miranda opinion in such plain language, out of exasperation (whether one agrees completely with the substance of the warning). They were convinced that their mandate would not be followed without that kind of paint-by-numbers expression of the rules.

Of course, writing appellate opinions in that manner goes against every tradition of judicial decisionmaking.

I wonder what kind of jurisdiction the District Court retains to provide relief here.

Court roulette anyone?

“cocked and locked” means a semi-auto they will refuse to register it.

They will only register one gun per person every 90 days.

They ban ammo for any gun that cannot be registered.
