Our choices get simpler and more focused every day:

***********

DANGER_FOOLED

***********

We the people...
Choose to vote these lefty-lib Dhimmi-Dems OUT-OUT-OUT at every turn and opportunity...
----We INVESTIGATE, EXPOSE their socialist/globalist agenda, then RECALL or IMPEACH them through every legal and moral means...

--OR--

They remain in power -- and strip away at our God-given liberties; ceding our Constitutional rights and protections to the U.N. or other "global visions".

***********

USA_TAKEBACK2

***********

It's time to wake up...
Revisiting our decision-making paradigm...
...for electing representatives & officeholders...
--AND--
Holding them accountable on a daily basis.

End of Monday rant....
Have a great week everyone!

Newt is the only candidate in my lifetime willing to use the Constitutional power our Framers designed for us to check the Judiciary.

Respectfully I add this comment:

Newt SAYS he is "willing to use the Constitutional power our Framers designed for us to check the Judiciary."

He has yet to demonstrate that.
When he was Speaker of the House he never made a concrete move to do so.

Politicians say many things during their campaigns. If Newt becomes President I would like to see him act on these words but what are the odds?

Accidents always happen with unloaded guns. For this reason, I always keep my guns loaded.

Oh man, that was OUTSTANDING!!! If a homeless person doesn’t have a home, then home is wherever he is. Therefore he has the right to possess a firearm.

Seriously, too, never trust a mechanical safety.

Geeze...this was in the early/mid 70s.

I don’t think the rifles even *had* safeties.

Nobody ever got hurt.

The boys all had their own trucks so I doubt there was much call for other guys to be getting in, anyway.

Moot point now.

The empty rifle hangs in the rack and the ammo is locked away somewhere else in the vehicle.

That’s the law, now.

LOL!

Yep.

Lord knows the lowland AFA kids and band members were always layin’ for the ridge runners.

The surest path to armed revolt is for public officials to believe and behave as if it will never happen.

You misspelled “rhetorical”.

Thanks Sam.

I was wondering how I ever survived my youth for a minute, there.

Twenty years ago, judicial activism was barely on the radar, and then mostly in the hard-core liberal jurisdictions. Now that it has spread like kudzu, the political reality is much different. At least one of the candidates is talking about this problem.

Fixing the problem is, of course, another matter. It would require a major shake-up in the Senate and decade-long (minimum) political commitment within Congress to take back and hold what is theirs. The labors of Hercules seem insignificant by comparison.

Somebody let off a barrage of gunfire on the other side of the ridge towards dusk one night.

Didn’t see the jackboot after that.

[I have no idea who was shooting over there but they sounded like they were taking out a whole herd of deer]

Indeed. Had a rifle fire just when disengaging the safety. Loose screw.

-- Though granted it depends on Kennedy doing the right thing, I imagine the SCOTUS will do the right thing here. --

ROTFL.

I suspect it simply won't take up the issue. Historically, it let stand, for decades, Circuit Court rulings that read Presser for the opposite of what Presser actually says (and thereby let unconstitutional state laws stand); and it grossly misrepresented the Miller case in handing down the Heller decision.

Whoever, above, pointed out that Congress has and should use the remedy of impeachment, is right. Not that Congress will do so, it too is in favor of restrictive gun laws and has passed a number of unconstitutional restrictions itself.

We the people continue to let the courts and Congress run roughshod over their inalienable rights.
And the band plays on.
