Finally the the second amendment, which guarantees the individuals right to own firearms has been given credence by the Supreme Court. I am happy on two fronts about this. One, I have long held this belief, and I believe it is plainly stated. I am a gunowner, a responsible gunowner and now I know my rights are supported by law. Two, it has a bunch of communists err I mean liberals in a tizzy. Below is a brief example from an article on FoxNews.com.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said that her experience as a former mayor of San Francisco leads her to believe the court's decision will open the door to more, not less street violence. She also criticized the conservative members of the court, who she said did not follow the legal principle of "stare decisis," the Latin term for using earlier court decisions to strongly guide new opinions.
"I remember both (Chief) Justice (John) Roberts and Justice (Samuel) Alito sitting in front of us and indicating how they would respect 'stare decisis' and precedent — and this decision takes down 70 years of precedent," Feinstein said, referring to the two justices appointed by President Bush. "I think it opens this nation to a dramatic lack of safety."
She added: "I happen to believe that this is now going to open the door to litigation against every gun safety law that states have passed — assault weapons bans, trigger locks and all the rest of it."
Feinstein said the court's decision, which also struck down a D.C. trigger lock requirement, is also faulty because those regulations prevent guns from being used by thieves or others who do not own the weapon.
That Feinstein is quite the feisty thing isn't she? What makes her think people in most of America care what a liberal ex mayor of one of the most liberal, immoral, modern day Sodom thinks? Liberals in their arrogance always know what is best for me. Take away my independence, my free speech (unless I espouse their views) and I will be happier and better off for it. That's a load of crap. I was born at night but not last night. If you will watch the reactions of liberals over the next few days, you will see why it is so important to elect anyone other that Obama. He makes Feinstein look like Sean Hannity. I apologize to Mr. Hannity for using his name in a comparison with Dianne Feinstein's but it needed to be said. Be happy gunowners, we have won a battle, but the war rages on. Protect your rights say no to Obama
