Guys, might I make a humble request? This should be a celebration thread. Can we PLEASE not turn it into a Rudy thread? Please?
Hear, hear!
LOL... Nice summation. I'm used to getting abuse and nonsense from Bobby.
Isn't en banc review discretionary?
If they affirmed the *individual* right to keep and bear arms, how will this impact:
1.) Restrictions on the number of purchases that can be made in a certain time period.
2.) Restriction on which citizens may or may not keep arms
3.) Restriction on which types of firearms may be owned.
4.) Rrstrictions on how/when purchases may be made.
Any of these restrictions can be viewed as "infringement" and I am interested to see how this ruling will impact. With the constructionist Supreme Court that we now have in place, i hope that this is heard and affirmed. And then I want to see them review the 100 years of unconstituitional gun laws that are currently on the books through this new lens.
I hope you're right. I can't think of exactly why, but there have been a few times over the last year or so when I've found myself thinking that Scalia's been getting a little flaky. I'm probably wrong though.
A nice ol' gun law enema. I like it.
Don't happen to know where I could find a quad-40 and some ammo, do you? The ducks get bigger & fly higher, every year. ;)
Correct. That's what they said.
"It protects their RKBA no matter where in the US they are, even the District of Columbia."
Correct.
No Federal, or mere State law, may infringe on this Right as per the Constitution."
Oops. Where did they say that? They said the District of Columbia's law infringed on an individual right, yes. They said the second amendment applied to the District of Columbia, yes.
But that's about it. I didn't see anything about state laws in there. Point that out for me.
Just want to throw in here that DU's messaging system is garbage. I've been monitoring this story over there (most of them are actually right on this), and it is impossible to keep up when you hit refresh. New posts pop up all over the thread. It's retarded.
Out of courtesey, you really ought to ping him when you berate hime. Only polite.
Up to you, though.
Appeals Court Says Gun Ban Violates 2nd Amendment
By ADAM LIPTAK March 9, 2007
A federal appeals court in Washington today struck down on Second Amendment grounds a gun control law in the District of Columbia that bars residents from keeping handguns in their homes.
BTTT
Yep. I've been corrected on that one. Thanks though...
Are there individuals in other States? Then it applies dumbass...
I know. If I had any respect left for this particularly noxious anti-gun troll I would.
LOL.
He is not anti-gun, he is pro-government control, from what I have read.
The government can regulate everything, etc.
Including guns.
Robert, have I stated your position correctly?
Excellent!!
Thanks for the ping!
