““We’re nervous,” president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Paul Helmke, told the Washington Post. “Anytime you go to the Supreme Court, you could end up with all sorts of gun laws being called into question.”

Taken 'collectively', millions of armed citizens represent a political check to legislative 'lawlessness'- evidenced by the erosion of other 'rights' once protected by the BOR.

"(t)he right of the people to keep and bear arms" will have significant repercusions on citizen-to-citizen and citizen-to-government relationships. Try as I might, I can't seem to find any negatives ('cause I'm not a liberal?)

Commie Mommy's flip-flop on this issue will make licenses-for-illegals pale by comparison. Serious head explosionage should follow.

Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission. - L. Neil Smith. The Atlanta Declaration

Anything less violates the Second's prohibition on government action and diminishes the scope of our Rights.

Should the government decide that they are no longer bound by the Second Amendment limitations of their depredations, then Article II will also be rendered null and void...along with Articles I, III and IV.

Article II, Section 1:

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows....

Yep. It'd be pretty much a "When in the course of human events" moments.

Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee are staunch Second Amendment advocates and all oppose most restrictions on gun rights including D.C.’s.

Romney?!! McCain?!! Dunnow what the author of this load of nonsense has been smoking, but it must be some pretty good sh!t. Those two are hard line anti-gunners.

Adrian Fenty is either insane, stupid, or evil.

Why pick just one? How about Evil and stupid?
