Well-known member
Gonna post this on airboat talk cause everybody goes here.

Good story in the Sun-Sentinel

The basic issue for the justices is whether the amendment protects an individual's right to own guns no matter what, or whether that right is somehow tied to service in a state militia.

A key justice, Anthony Kennedy, seemed to settle that question early on when he said the Second Amendment gives "a general right to bear arms." He is likely to be joined by Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas -- a majority of the nine-member court.

Gun rights proponents were encouraged.

It could have been a lot worse.
This is the best news I've heard today. :)
 
This whole deal had potential to turn south real quick.
I get nervous as hell when they start talking about what the second amendment means... Way too many folks pushing their own agendas.

Maybe well enough will be left alone for another 60 or 70 years... or however long it has been since the 2nd amendment was last up for debate in the US Supreme Court... I sure hope so anyway.

Funny thing happened Monday night... Whitebear had previously explained to me how airboaters and guns go hand-and-hand, so I posted some comments on this subject in a new thread thinking it would be a good FYI for everyone.

A couple posts later, Scotty said he was moving it somewhere.... That short lived thread must have went to thread Heaven... because I haven't been able to find it since.
 
DAMNIT ! They always focus on secondary issues. Once the individuals right is understood, the ONLY thing they need to focus on is the 3 words........ "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED". Once they understand those 3 words the other issues are settled.......period. It then becomes self evident that the D.C. law DOES in fact infrige.

Was I borne in another age when they still taught the English Language, reading and comprehension in school or something. GEEZ, how simple can it get. I honestly find it hard to believe this takes 12 senile old men sitting around a coffee pot to figure out this one.

Scotty :idea:
 
Scotty, I think you need to work on your math. "Shall not be infringed" is 4 words. There are only 9 people on the Supreme Court and although they may be senile, one is a woman. :lol:

I'd like to see that thread, OR have it explained to me, when I was just about to send in a membership check, why it was removed. AS great of a sight as this is, I don't want to sponsor ANYTHING that resembles gun control..

DeMoins, good catch. I seem to try to do more than one thing at a time these days and neither ends up being perfect. I DO in fact need to slow down a bit LOL !

thanks man, 4, not 3 it is. I guess the shall wasnt in my focus, I was so focused on NOT BE INFRINGED. My bad.

Scotty :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Possibly not, but you would be amazed at the IP addresses of some of the readers of this site. Never assume nobody pays any attention to what goes on here.

Scotty :lol:

all i can say is im glad the bush family has seated some conservitives judges up on that bench in the last couple of decades or we would be sharpening sticks to hunt with, and the tomahawk would be the weapon of choice for self defence :shock:
 
Glad to hear that moving it, was not an anti gun issue, though it really belongs HERE whereever the MOST folks read things. Stashing it where fewer go is a dis service.

Thanks, Jeff
 
Tomahawk hell, If Hillary gits in there she gona take them too
PS. buy more ammo and stock pile it, the day may come when
hidden stock piles of ammo is all we have to fight for our rights
with.( When They Pry It From My Cold Dead Fingers!!! )
 
that made me fall off the chair laughing, sad but true, we cant let them take control (goverment for the people and by the people) they should never forget they work for us not us for them! :evil:
 
When you can buy a gun on the Internet and slaughter collage kids with it I'd say something needs to be done. The gun is only the tool though heaven forbid they'd address the real problem.
 
I'M A COP, AS YOU PROBABLY GUESSED. YOU SHOULD SEE THE WAY THESE JUDGES "INTERPRET" THE CONSTITUTION AND STATE STATUTES IN COURT. YOU WOULDN'T BELEIVE IT. MANY BADDD PEOPLE ARE BEING LET FREE, WITH NO WORRIES, FROM JUDGES ALLOWING DEFENSE ATTORNEYS TO USE TRICKS THAT THIS PEICE OF SH@!'S 4 TH AMENDMENT WAS VIOLATED.
I BELEIVE THAT THE CONSTITUTION WAS FIRST CREATED TO KEEP GOVERNMENT FROM OVERSTEPPING OUR LIBERTY. SUCH AS THE BRIT'S WAY BACK WHEN. I'M A FAIR COP AND BELEIVE REAL AMERICAN'S DESERVE THEIR LIBERTY. NOW THE CONSTITUTION IS TOO OFTEN USED TO HELP REALLY BAD PEOPLE GET OFF ON CRIMES THAT MOST OF US WON'T TOLERATE.
OR TO CHANGE THE REAL AMERICA TO A LIBERAL AND FRAIL GOVERNMENT. IF THE WHOLE OF THE REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE FOLLOWED CASES FROM ARREST TO FINAL DISPOSITION, THEY WOULD PROBABLY FLIP THEIR LID. IF I DIDN'T HAVE SO MUCH TIME INVESTED AND WASN'T TO OLD TO START AGAIN, I WOULD BAIL OUT OF L.E.
THIS BROKEN JUSTICE AND PENAL SYSTEM IS A BIG REASON WHY WE HAVE SO MANY COPS ON THE STREET THAT ARE LESS THAN DESIREABLE. ALOT OF THE REAL AMERICAN COPS FIND A WAY OUT WHEN THEY CAN, AND ARE REPLACED BY JUST A WARM BODY.
 
I personally feel guns should be available at the local Haji Mart or 7-11 along with ammo, right next to the ATM machine and pretzels. I see no reason 'tall to require a dealers license to buy n sell them. Its as bad a requiring a car dealers license. Its nothing but a money grab.

If there is a problem with people misusing guns, something, anything, then go for the folks who misuse not the folks who do it right.

As Ted Nugent said the second ammendment is his license to carry concealed firearms. The man is a genious.

Scotty :lol:
