BIG (scary) day tomorrow!

I’m sure everyone knows this, but just a reminder… The US Supreme Court is scheduled to begin hearing argument TOMORROW (March 18, 2008) on the meaning of the second amendment.

This is actually coming up because of an individual wanting to have a gun for protection. As I see it, though, this will give platform for the age-old debate argued by anti-gun activists that the right to bear arms is not an individual's right, but is the collective right of a group, or “militia”.
This will be the first case before the Supreme Court since 1939 over gun control laws.

However they want to spin it, the bottom line is that our founding fathers wanted to provide us with a means of defending and protecting ourselves.

The second amendment:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

If you are interested in seeing the representation there for both sides, here's a link:

I just hope they havent lost sight of what this country is all about. If they try to disarm us there will be hell to pay and many a patriot will die. There will be a rip in this nations fabrick like never before. Slavery was a non issue this will cause an irrepariable rift.

Read the news they already did along time ago.... It's ALL about power and money not freedom! Americans are sheep we've let Government and Corporations ruin this nation and wallowed in consumerism while they were doing it.

If I had the money to leave I would (The "old love it or leave it" adage) When we turned into a predator for Oil and financial leverage I wrote it off. America is an embarrassment with our current political leadership and I use the term leadership very lightly! :(
 
you know i have been saying this for years i to would leave if i had the money maybe this will start the ball rolling for me lets hope for the nations sake that it doesnt come down to that! :(
 
Folks, I'm going to move this thread into Politics. It is deserving of some debate or discussion.

We can discuss openly here and not worry about prying eyes. I have a list of everyone I have authorized in here. If someone wants in that isn't here just tell them to follow the instructions and Ill authorize them.

I am excited that this is going to be heard.
There seems to be a great deal of precedent already in support of the Individual Right
interpretation of the Second Amendment.

We got the new Justices on the court, and I'm hoping for a SLAM DUNK for individual freedoms!

Let's get them added a.s.a.p.!!!

Hang in there 2nd amendment!!!!!!
 
Matt, as I said above.......

"If someone wants in that isn't here just tell them to follow the instructions and I'll authorize them. "

But they must follow the path and initiate it themself.

I was sitting here thinking of what to say after Whitebear let me in and Capt cChad said it best thanks

I would encourage everyone to support NRA I have been a life member for years and active in some National Work and I do not all ways agree with some of the postion of the Group ( give up full auto for a promise to be left alone) sounds like mufflers on airboats. They are on the front line fighting for our Right to Bear arms.

We will see in summer what happens but I think after what happened with Brady bill where we got almost everyone one of voted Clinton Gun Control out of office even Supreme court nows lots of Angry White men out there.

Thanks for allowing access to this site it is a Honor.
 
Now that the Justices understand and mostly agree it is an individual right, they next and equally important need to focus on and understand the phrase...... SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Scotty :wink:
 
Ok folks. I was worried this thread could go in a very negative direction is why I had moved it to Politics, but I see that never happened. I am going to put it back in Airboat Talk where everyone can have access to it without the close moderation Politics gets. I don't like to move stuff around like this and I will keep it to a minimum, but at least you know we are paying attention.

How do you think dictators and communists get dominance in third-world countries...their people can't own guns and they use the military for their own enforcement.
 
Provided SCOTUS affirms what everybody else already knew and understood as their 2nd amendment right, laws in communist rules states will be buisy in court trying to defend their laws prohibiting or making it extrordinarly difficult to have firearms.
State like NY, NJ, DC, all have very strict laws..ironically the very city that totally bans handguns is the very one with the highest murder and firearms related crimes, that being Washington DC! Inagine the nerve of those criminals killing someone with a handgun...don't they know it's illegal for them to have a gun? :roll:
 
As a lawyer, i listened to the oral arguments before the Justices this week. 93% of the supreme court watchers---these are people paid millions to predict the court's actions and they are very accurate--think they will rule in the gun owners favor. My guess is they will reaffirm the right and remand it to the lower court to implement their views. Two cents, Charles

A lot of truth there, but fortunately, (I don't usually say this but in this case it's true) Federal law trumps state laws.

Once the precedent is set it will be very difficult for states or localities to infringe upon the right to bear arms.

THIS SAYS IT ALL VERY WELL PUT
 
Anyone who shows up to take my guns will probably be packin. Since that person will be on MY PROPERTY, I'll consider it an attempt
by an armed person to take something valuable from me and will respond accordingly.

Nuff said.
