Supreme Court decision

Sorry Max, the less than supreme court did not decide that “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”,,,

You give them way too much credit for being able to read and interpret what was written in plain and clear English so long ago and so well understood by the common man. And If that was not enough, the founding fathers even went so far as to write supporting documentation just so that situations like we have seen for the last 50 years+ would not happen. And that was written in even clearer language and they said flat out that they did not trust big government to not try to take our gun rights away! Interesting to see just how right they were and just how far the big government machine will go to ignore those well documented writings. And only now are they giving us back our rights, but sadly in a very piecemeal fashion,,,

Unfortunately all they did this time was to determine that you have a basic right to own a gun and that gun ownership cannot be banned outright. They did not go so far as to determine we have an un-infringed right,,, as the Bill of Rights says we do.

Sooooo whats the difference, well states can still make you get licenses, and they can make you get liability insurance for just owning one and more coverage if you carry or use it,,, They can make you get ballistic fingerprints of your guns, and make you register them! They can still restrict certain models (by caliber – or class – or even because they look like “bad guns!”)

So don’t get too excited just because they are telling Chicago and DC that they have to let people own guns, they can still make it so restrictive that all you could own if a brown-bess and you need to carry 10 million dollars worth of liability insurance just incase it falls over and bruises a masked assailants toes while he is attacking you with the latest and greatest weapons he can buy on any street corner for half the price we pay for legal guns,,,

Sorry for being a pessimist, but we got nothing from the less than supreme court and for those of us who live in gun control states, NOTHING has or will change. And I for one CANNOT buy a new or used Auto Mag(unless its already in the state and grandfathered in) because they are not on my states roster,,,

Hi Max, I am one of the licensed few in my state and my license is unrestricted, not because they offered it that way, but because I demanded it that way!

So you see we (you and I) are on the page, though I have to confess that I am not happy to have to have a license, but I did want to preserve my “right”

It’s a very bad situation up here, but then this is the seat of liberalism,,,

As for the Starbucks, well guess I’ll hold out for a Canadian Club or maybe Seagrams
