Federal judge severely limits Second Amendment rights

My rifles and pistols are always loaded in my vehicle.

““Supreme Court has not recognized a right to bear firearms outside the home.””

There are scumsuckers in all branches of our Federal Government, but the worst of the worst is the SCOTUS. They are the king of the worthless in a sea of mostly worthless people. Like Nero, they fiddle ( or take extended vacations to places outside the country) while this once beautiful country burns. The measure of an organization’s effectiveness is what it accomplishes. The SCOTUS is the quintessential “kick the can on down the road” group. They never ever resolve a question before them. Newt is right, we need to start RIFing judges until we get a group that’s willing to do some real work for the benefit of us all.

I hate it when that happens. All I have left is the flintlock.

[Salamander]

Didn’t have one to lose, anyway.

Barr’s article is handy proof that Wayne Lapierre was right about this election being crucial regarding the Constitution in general and the Second Amendment specifically.

“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.”

20 years??? Earl Warren. William Douglas. They defined judicial activism 50 years ago. Then Souter, Blackmun and that motley crew. Left-wing, judicial activists have been ripping the country up since the early 60’s at the latest.

Fast current. It floated away. Couldn’t catch it.

I'm guessing "Loaded" meant shells in the magazine, but NOT in the chamber.

I hunt like that...load my gun when I enter the property by truck. Then rack one, once I get out of the truck.

FWIW-

[Jacquerie]

High.

[Salamander]

I have a pointy stick.

[and I’m not afraid to use it!]

;]

[Osage Orange]

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

I own some older rifles....and shotguns from the 40's to the 60's...they ALL have safeties.

While Judge Myerscough conceded the Second Amendment protects a “general right to carry guns that include a right to carry operable guns in public,” she tossed out the lawsuit, claiming that the “Supreme Court has not recognized a right to bear firearms outside the home.”

Judge Turn-your-head-and-cough, the Constitution recognizes such a right. We don't have to wait for the Supreme Court to give any sort of final word on anything before it becomes a right. They are there for when morons like you trample on our rights.

[Osage Orange]

I think you’re off by at least 30 years...................

[AnTiw1]

i had several from wwi...same

[Salamander]

Yup.
Pitiful.

The magazine had to be in the glove box and the rifle in the back seat.

No rounds in the chamber.

Pitiful.

I’ve rode that ridge on an ATV and horse with loaded pistols and 30.30s many a time.

Can’t see what difference ‘hunting season’ makes.

[Salamander]

Huh.

Imagine that.

I grew up riding in dad’s truck with a rack full of rifles behind my head.

Best as I can recall, I never got killed.

Just lucky, I reckon.

The only gun *I* personally own with a safety on it is a Beretta 9mm.

[huge PITA]

[MrB]

Ah... there ya go!

[Dead Corpse]

This "judge" needs to go. Off the Bench at a minimum, preferably off the planet completely...

She is an active danger to everyone around her.

[Dead Corpse]

The point? People will DIE because of her "collosal ignorance".

There should be a colossal movement to have her removed from the Bench before her idiotic abuse of our legal system gets anyone else hurt.
