I only did start reading the decision (it is 150+pages so it will take time . I did read all of the capital punishment case yesterday so my mind is kinda SCOTUSed out ). On the surface it appears that Scalia did leave wiggle room for the regulation of guns so the 2nd Amendment is not quite absolute. DC can't ban guns in the home . But they can make licensing them a nightmare.
However this is victory . The good people of Washington DC do not have to be compelled into victim status. Rick is right that conceal and carry laws need to be loosened .
Obviously, the folks who want our entire society disarmed, will never stop trying to find a way to do so.
Just the fact that they decided that this was an individual right, has put a huge wrench in the gun grabbers fan.
You are right, they will continue, in fact, they are already trying to work on specific attacks on ammunition, I'm sure that these type back door efforts will increase now that this decision has been made.
What this ruling finally did was put to rest this phony argument that the 2nd is not for individuals but to arm "well regulated militias".
"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. " James Madison
I think your name scared the gun grabbers away. I totally agree with the decision that we have the right to have our guns to defend our homes...now we need the right to defend ourselves when we are not home..
Work on that with them will you? I spend a lot of time in remote mountain ranges...would like to have my weapon in my ATV (without being arrested for doing so if caught).
I am fairly active in the support of our second amendment rights.
As to concealed carry, there is much to be done in that regard as well.
I don't understand the mentality that can't comprehend that it is a good thing, for the criminal to have to worry about his victim being armed, and not just the other way around.
Wouldn't you be allowed to have your firearm with you in those mountain regions just as long as you don't have it concealed?
Unless it is designated as a State or Federal Park that is.
You know, were it not for the two Justices appointed by George Bush, we would no longer have any second amendment rights?
"Wiping the sweat off my forehead" That was a very close call, was it not?
Gee, I wonder what type of Justices Obama might appoint should he be elected?
I don't know about Obama, I really don't like anyone running for president at all. Can I vote none of the above on my vote?
I am in National Forest land and no I cannot carry a gun there , I might be mistaken for Claude Dallas (who by the way got a bad deal in my books).
I do, however, carry a small hand axe with a bungie within hand reach. I carry it in case I need to clear limbs out of the way of my ATV as a safety measure and I have a tire Iron in case I need to change my tire if it goes flat, also a safety measure and a small fire extinguisher in case I spot a fire.
