DC v. Heller

DC Gun Ban Overturned
In the Landmark Decision of DC  vs Heller 

We WIN!!!   With today’s historic ruling on the Second Amendment from the Supreme Court, we now officially have the individual right to keep and bear arms.  This helps ensure our ability to protect ourselves from the criminals in our society. 

Pop the cork, fill your glass, and take a slow and well-deserved drink of your bubbly. 

OK…now it is time to get back to work.  Although the court recognized our individual rights, we still have lawsuits to file and rights to secure.  The ruling left in tact many of the gun laws that should be blatantly unconstitutional, leaving the fight to keep on going.  I heard that the NRA is going to quickly be filing suit against Chicago and the many communities around it.  I would also suspect that many local, state, and federal laws and statutes will be next.  I will help support, in any way I can, lawsuits against governments that take away our constitutional rights.  Much of the 1934 and 1968 federal laws should follow soon.   

I would also encourage the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Paul Helmke to now focus on their stated goal:  to prevent gun violence.  Since banning and restricting guns is not (and never has been) a viable solution, they should take their considerable resources and now focus on the courts and the justice system that put the criminals back in our neighborhoods.  Stop wasting time on guns!  However, if they still wish to continue their losing fight, at least they should have the courage to rename their organization and tell the truth, for once, regarding their agenda.    

Keep the pressure on.  We are in the majority and they are in the minority.  The elitist viewpoints that have so predominately taken over the media in years past are now the fringe.  They are also un-American. 
 

Job well done Dick Heller.  Job well done.
 

My promise to you:  as each of these draconian laws fall, we will offer SUBSTANTIAL savings and incentives to celebrate our victories.  DC area, Chicago area, California, and many others should follow soon.

Amendment II

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.


The D.C. gun ban has been overturned.

“The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”

Goldstein Quoting the Syllabus:

“The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”

 

McCain weighs in…

U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement regarding today’s United States Supreme Court ruling on District of Columbia v. Heller:

Today’s decision is a landmark victory for Second Amendment freedom in the United States . For this first time in the history of our Republic, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms was and is an individual right as intended by our Founding Fathers. I applaud this decision as well as the overturning of the District of Columbia ’s ban on handguns and limitations on the ability to use firearms for self-defense.

Unlike Senator Obama, who refused to join me in signing a bipartisan amicus brief, I was pleased to express my support and call for the ruling issued today. Today’s ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller makes clear that other municipalities like Chicago that have banned handguns have infringed on the constitutional rights of Americans. Unlike the elitist view that believes Americans cling to guns out of bitterness, today’s ruling recognizes that gun ownership is a fundamental right — sacred, just as the right to free speech and assembly.

This ruling does not mark the end of our struggle against those who seek to limit the rights of law-abiding citizens. We must always remain vigilant in defense of our freedoms. But today, the Supreme Court ended forever the specious argument that the Second Amendment did not confer an individual right to keep and bear arms.  

“The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”

I carry most of the time as well. Show me one time where a LEGALLY carrying citizen committed a crime with their firearm.

I carry whenever I go to or through Hayward, Oakland and Richmond, CA which is a high homicide area we call the jungle. It is infested with a lot of gangs who have guns and automatic weapons and the new members must kill as their initiation. Our politicians are raticals and liberals who are as weak as the victims. Now, we have a fighting chance to protect our family and ourselves. Thank God!

Finally common sense has prevailed over paranoia and left wing mind set that if you ban guns then gun crimes will stop. It's almost as big of a myth as global warming. I am a licensed concealed carrier in my state and now those all over can enjoy the security and safety that having a fire arm to defend themselves and their families has. Senator Obama will no doubt flounder on what his views are concerning this. It will be interesting to watch him squirm under the scrutiny of his hatred of gun ownership and this country in general.

I'm a police officer where i live. And I carry everywhere I go. Because there has been so many threats on my life and my families. And I will defend my life and my families anyway I can.

I carry where ever I go, so long as it is legal. I purposely avoid places where it is illegal to carry my revolver. I am a certified ccw permit instructor in North Carolina. I try to instill in all my students that there are three kinds of guns that are useless; the one you don't know how to use, the one you won't use, and the one you don't have with you. A handgun should be either on your person, or locked up. Insofar as I know, I have never offended anyone by my descreet carrying of a handgun. After all, that's what concealed carry is supposed to be, concealed. Get a gun, get a permit, and carry 24/7. Preserve your rights by exercising them. The life you save may be your own or that of a loved one.
