Gun lunacy rides high in America (CNN editorial by Stanford law professor!)
CNN ^ | Sept 13, 2013 | John J. Donohue

Posted on 09/13/2013 6:23:10 AM PDT by Innovative

Since gun sellers call the shots at the NRA, the lobbying group launched an effort to punish Colorado legislators who stood up for public safety over gun seller profits. Now, two thoughtful Colorado legislators have been recalled and the NRA is crowing at having exercised its muscle once again.

..., similar hyperbolic rhetoric after the passage of the federal background check system and the (now elapsed) federal assault weapons ban galvanized the unstable gun zealot Timothy McVeigh forward with his scheme to blow up the federal building in Oklahoma City.

It's worth reading just to see how far the deranged left is going - blaming the Timothy McVeigh blowing up the federal building with fertilizers on gun laws!!!

This is from a Stanford law professor!

The left is in full apoplexy over the recall of the two Colo. legislators. They get really upset when the people of the US want their representatives to actually recognize and obey the Constitution.

I think I’ll send some more money to the NRA — they are protecting our constitutional rights.

“... two thoughtful Colorado legislators have been recalled ...”

Stopped right there.

Stanford, along with most other universities, would raise their collective IQ substantially by simply getting rid of all faculty and courses which produce nothing but trash such as the output of this law prof.

Keep the sciences, of course.

As for the rest.....

Shocking revelation! A legal, private enterprise seeks to effect political change using the political system.

What's next? The Chicago Cubs playing baseball?

Well, bad example. But you know what I mean.

Last I checked, gun BUYERS VASTLY outnumbered gun sellers.

Right on. Stop selling out America.

And stop subsidizing Stanford law nonsense.

We need to bring back American work, and American jobs.

Not hire more lawyers.

Indeed, Robert Levy, who personally funded the litigation designed to convince the Supreme Court that the Second Amendment, which begins "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state," had nothing to do with a well-regulated militia has recently conceded that the Missouri stunt flouts the very Constitution that its supporters claim to uphold.

This idiot doesn't understand what the Founders considered to the be militia or what it was to be "well regulated." The militia was everyone. "Well regulated" meant that they got regular practice and training.

If there was any sense of reason that might be applied to McVeigh’s assault on the government, my guess it would be because of Ruby Ridge in 1992, and Waco in 1993 under the height of Clinton’s consolidation of complete control.

The only thing that might have concerned him with respect to the 1994 AWB was he decided to use FERTILIZER and DIESEL FUEL to exact his destruction.

Too bad there is no way to recall idiotic, anti-American professors.

When Michael Bloomberg spends his money to attack gun rights, it's righteous and pro-democracy. When the NRA spends its money to defend the gun rights, it's gun lunacy. Get it?

I laugh at these pissants. Their lamentations are music to my ears.

I have said it before and I say it again: You ain't seen nothing yet. The fun is just beginning.

I did. It means whatever they say it does, depending upon the situation.

Interesting, their denial of the original meaning of "well regulated" demonstrates their ignorance that professional soldiers at that time were known as "regulars." The same distinction applies to the commerce clause use of "regulate." It meant that it was supposed to be usual and unimpeded. The government currently uses the term "regulate" to impede commerce, its exact opposite, and therefore not a power enumerated in the Constitution.
