The Liberals are Shrieking
The US Supreme Court overturned the DC gun ban. Now maybe I will feel a little safer when I drive into the city. Chicago and New York will also become safer now that citizens are allowed to protect themselves from criminals.
From Reuters here:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, for the first time in the nation’s history, that individual Americans have the right to own guns for personal use, and struck down a strict gun control law in the nation’s capital.
The landmark 5-4 ruling marked the first time in nearly 70 years that the high court has addressed whether the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, rather than a right tied to service in a state militia.
John Paul Stevens, a big liberal on the bench wrote in his dissent:
…the majority “would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.”
He said such evidence “is nowhere to be found.”
Someone should get Stevens a dictionary so he can look up the words “shall not be infringed.” Yes, the framers wanted to limit the tools available.
Liberals like Stevens, Ginsberg et al, hate the idea of individuals being able to defend themselves against the tyranny of the imperial State. That 4 out of 9 Justices voted to essentially nullify the 2nd amendment, is terrifying given that the Obamessiah might get to appoint 1-2 Justices.
