No Way Obama GDG

[HuntinDawg]

BOH cannot by himself overturn Heller. He can and will appoint Justices to SCOTUS who would tip the balance. Remember that Heller was a 5-4 decision, as thin a majority as you can get. The dims are also always inventing new wrinkes to get around the 2nd amendment, like microstamping of ammunition, Consumer Product Safety Commission Regulations clamping down on buying ammo etc. They can and will regulate us to death if given the chance.

He can also promise (privately of course) to sign any new "gun control" bill that congress can pass. Heller is not nearly so sweeping as to prevent all new "gun control" laws. He would make the climate for passage of new "gun control" much more friendly to the gun banners. As Bob points out though, the greatest danger is what he would be allowed to do to the supreme court with a democrat congress to rubber-stamp whatever socialist-actvist-revisionist judges he appoints.

Gun control means using two hands regards.

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Late to bed and sleep till noon the liberal left will take care of you.

Perhaps you should heed the warning on the label....

In the rare case an erection lasts for more than four hours, seek immediate medical attention.

Another Hint from Obama’s Camp: Tonight, Barack Obama is attending a fundraiser in Newark, New Jersey. I truly hope he uses this opportunity to speak about Bukhari Washington and the tragic lunacy of allowing civilians to possess assault weapons legally…In 2004, George W. Bush and the NRA-influenced Republican congress allowed the federal ban on assault weapons to expire. While the RNC proved that the Republican are looking to identity politics to determine the election, Barack Obama appears admirably set on winning on the issues, and legally restricting assault rifles is an issue on which Democrats have the high ground…

Huffingtom post is a looney liberal blog almost as bad as the daily kos.

I don't put a lot of stock in what the NRA says--they have lost touch with mainstream America. They've become a right-wing fringe group.

Who but the NRA is protecting your 2nd Amendment rights?

Between your "double wide" comment and now this... I just have to ask....are you sure you don't live in Austin?

[M Remington]

Bob, I don't think we've been in any danger of losing our 2nd Amendment rights.

I don't consider background checks an infringement, I don't consider registering guns as an infringement, I don't think banning assault weapons is an infringement, I don't think banning armor piercing ammunition is an infringement. I would call those common sense laws.

And Patrick. . no, I'm not from Austin. I'm an outdoorsman and a gun owner. But, I see no need for uzis and banana clips.

Bob, I don't think we've been in any danger of losing our 2nd Amendment rights.

The NRA fights for that right everyday and yes it is challenged everyday in someway.

I know I have said it before but my grandfather had a belt buckle that read “From My Cold Dead Hands”

I think Bob PMed me a company that could make me a buckle that read that but I lost it….please send it again Bob.

So if we follow your logic, does the ACLU protect basic freedoms, as well?

[Bob Gutermuth]

The ACLU generally only protects the 'rights' of the loons, like when the KKK wanted to march in Skokie some years ago, or when some jerk files a beef about a manger scene in the town square at Christmas. They will stand up for the rights of moslems and athiests, but generally not for mainstream groups like Christians and Jews. Most of the time they only stand up for free speech that they agree with.
