This should not even be a Court issue. Once again, the bastard in the White House marches forward to try and remake America into a Marxist state.

WHEN will this bastard be impeached???????

That is imperfect because here BOTH parties were legally able to own a firearm.

They should loose this one, but given the composition of the Court and the fact that Roberts is Obama’s lapdog, means its open to dispute.

Dont you love how the question is phrased whether the court will decide should it be legal or not, rather than whether the constitution gives the federal government such power?

Makes me think YOU were that agent that murdered Randy Weavers wife.
Must be a real big brave, man sitting drunk behind your keyboard.

"Actually, they were killed because Weaver wouldn't roll over and inform on neighbors and associates who were suspected of being raycists..."

No, see you can't legally shoot someone or arrest them for NOT being an informant. They were killed because of a stupid 200 dollar tax which gives the BATF the power to kill without concern for the Constitution.

None of the people who violated the Weaver's Constitutional Rights ever suffered a single "legal" consequence.

People saying they will "give guns to who ever they please" no matter what the laws say are doing two things.

1. They are showing the really don't understand the situation.

2. They are further showing their ignorance by declaring such openly on a website that is guaranteed to be monitored by the very folks that enforce those laws.

"....Browning Nomad .22 for High School Graduation in '74."

High Standard .22 for college graduation in '73.

Looks a lot like the Nomad....not quite as "raked".

“...Society’s unconscionable ne’er-do-wells will continue to share their hardware on an adhoc basis....”

Which begs the question... what happens to their little schemes when we hold up a middle finger ALL become “ne’er-do-wells”...? I’d say they’d have a REAL problem.

But “ALL” is a big word. There will always be the gutless, the easily-intimidated, and the collaboration-prone... but - have these types never existed before, throughout history? No. They’ve always been with and among us - the folks who, instead of raising the middle finger, put a finger to the wind and watch intently to see which color flag they should hang from their window...

This country - and OUR people - was born because a percentage of the population - OUR ancestors - decided to become those “ne’er-do-wells” and they backed it up with the only response that coercive force ever understands.

If that will is present in a percentage of us, then “they” can never win. If that level of determination is missing... well then, say goodbye to Hollywood, as the song says.

For the record, I believe it’s still here.

For me...I’m an American; “I was born an American, I live as an American, and I’ll die as an American, and I intend to perform the duties incumbent upon me in that capacity to the end of my days...”

Stand down, please, you two. We need to be united, not bickering over minutiae. Just trust me here.

So... who goes to jail for running guns under Fast and Furious?

This is how Eric Holder would do this:

1) You pay taxes, do you not?
2) My Fast and Furious Gunwalking program to Mexican drug gangs was run by the BATF and was approved by my DOJ.
3) We can operate only because you pay taxes to keep us funded.
4) Therefore, you are ultimately to blame. We will charge you with "Funding a Terroristic Ongoing Criminal Enterprise."

That this case has made it to the freakin' Supreme Court says all we need to know about where our country is. Land of the free? Nope. Home of the brave? If we were still the home of the brave, we wouldn't be reading about this case making it to the Supreme Court. This will be another mild test about the concept of the, 'consent of the governed.'

Should the ruling go the wrong way, we'll yawn and think of clever work-arounds like selling the gun for a dollar, or some such. But why should we have to even think of such things? It's because we have the government we allow, and deserve.

"It's because we have the government we allow, and deserve."

So true it hurts.

And my greatest fear now is for this country to revert back to Constitutional Law, such will require a total collapse of the current form of government.

And being a parent that scares the hell out of me.

"Yikes, I might be a felon."

Sadly, I think that is the ultimate goal of the Politiclowns.

Its very hard to control an free and innocent citizen. BUT make the things that make him free, illegal and you can control his every waking moment.

Don't live in fear; enjoy what is. Our projectors are broken, we have NO CLUE what will happen. Neither do they, although they think they do.

If you live in fear, you will miss out on your life as you constantly live in an uncharted future.

Live in the Eternal Now, but, of course, take prudent measures to prepare for whatever comes. We have insurance policies on our houses, our cars, don't we? Take out insurance.

Suit up, show up, and leave the results in God's hands.

“...This country is beyond hope....”

Editor-surveyor, that’s not the first time I’ve heard that sentiment. I know it may look that way, but from my viewpoint, I’ll tell you this:

No, it isn’t.

It’s only “beyond hope” when everyone gives up.

Times and people change. Little things - sometimes, the most seemingly insignificant events - sway great movements of people.

If study of history proves anything, it’s that periods of time are a pendulum, and it will always swing to either extreme.

We’ve had it good for a long time; that “time of plenty” was bought and paid for by the lives and blood of people that lived, loved, and believed in America and in the American Ideal, and were willing to pay for it with the rest of their tomorrows.

Those “tomorrows” are today. Here. Now.

Every generation gets it’s chance to prove it is worthy of that cost; sometimes the chance is blatant, other times not so much and it passes unnoticed. And when it goes by unnoticed, the successive opportunity, or opportunities become even more critical - because those that want to TAKE from you always grow bolder; they are never satisfied, and they equate a lack of resistance with a lack of courage.

We’re in such a time now, and we’re being tested. We as a Nation and a People, have been there before. How we respond - Our generation - what we do, how we behave, whether we stand or buckle - determines more than just the outcome; it determines whether successive generations will live in peace, prosperity, and the American Dream that was left to us to protect, or not.

All you can do is know where you stand, what you’re willing to do - or not willing to do - and back it up if and when the time comes. That’s your part in this drama. That’s ALL of our part.

Find your line in the sand, define it, and be willing to stand on it. Or not. That’s the choice.

French resistance writer Jean Dutourd once wrote: “In the end, the choice is always between Verdun and Dachau.”

Seems to me, each of us need to determine which of those two choices we are willing to live with.

Actually, the right to own a gun, transfer said, or gift said, supersedes any manmade law. It is a basic human right regardless what any blackrobed pimp says. People, organized crime holds power now, but it won’t last forever.

Don’t forget the converse either. The largest military organization in the world tried to pacify America once before and it didn’t work out too well for them.
