They do this over and over. If the lose an election they don't lose, they just keep counting newly "found" ballots. If they lose a Prop they cry to the leftists in the courts and get the people's will overturned. It's time to turn and confront these people to save our nation.

...citizens to keep and bare arms I strongly believe the citizens of Wash DC should be encouraged (if not forced) to roll up their sleeves and get a job.

It is too bad the Bush administration (or the courts) did not have DC city officials jailed for violating the 2nd Amendment. That's really the only way court rulings can be enforced.

"Adam Winkler, law professor at UCLA has commented, To date, the federal courts have not invalidated a single gun control law on the basis of the Second Amendment since Heller. My own bet, said Sanford Levinson, a law professor at the University of Texas, is that Heller will more likely than not turn out to be of no significance to anyone but constitutional theorists.
OK, now all the liberals have been heard from...

Daly maintains that since Chicago is not under federal control, Heller means nothing to him or his city. Mayor Shortshanks says the Bill of Rights does not apply to his kingdom.

It's like bees fighting back by stinging. A bee here and there might do it, but unless you kick over the hive you won't find enough of them stinging, and the enemy survives. The left is going to be patient until we all die out slowly and singly, and there's nobody around who even remembers what a "right" is.

Although it unequivocally reaffirmed the rights of honest citizens to keep and bare arms. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I'm going to start screaming if I continue to see this posted on FR!

If this were the citizen doing this, the courts would impose PUNATIVE DAMAGES without blinking an eye.

Adam Winkler, law professor at UCLA has commented, To date, the federal courts have not invalidated a single gun control law on the basis of the Second Amendment since Heller. And how many such cases have made it to the federal court in the last 9 months?
To: jmaroneps37
You people are all too negative. No, Heller didn’t say that every person has the right to be provided with a full auto at government expense at birth, but it did make the extremely important ruling that the 2nd is a fundamental right. The particulars will be decided as time goes on, just as with the civil rights cases starting 5 1/2 decades ago. One salami slice at a time, just like the antis got us. This is not going to be an overnight thing.
Note that there is currently a suit against Chicago, asserting that it is violating the 2nd, and asserting that the 2nd applies to it via incorporation (courtesy of the 14th). It is being brought by the same attorney who won Heller, Gura. It is a simple yes or no question: does the 2nd apply to states and their subdivisions (i.e. cities) via the 14th? Here’s a link to the site: http://www.chicagoguncase.com/

Either way, it’s a win-win in the Chicago case.
Even if Daley keeps ignoring Heller, he is only asserting that the federal gov’t has little or no power over the states. For the states to recognize this is what the DC elite are scared of.

Resist..disobey..stand up for a change and dont depend on any one else to carry the water!Absolutely! The days have come. It is no longer enough to sit around on our hiney, give money to some organization (NRA), and hope all turns out okay. Really, we are going to have to be willing to take the streets or else we risk losing this nation.

To date, the federal courts have not invalidated a single gun control law on the basis of the Second Amendment since Heller. Most localities whose laws were challenged have decided to repeal those laws rather than fight a losing battle. The other cases are slowly making their way through the court system.

Incorporation my boy, Incorporation.
They’re is also about a mile wide loophole, for “reasonable restrictions”. And the states are driving a truck through it.

It is a simple yes or no question: does the 2nd apply to states and their subdivisions (i.e. cities) via the 14th? My bet is the Court will put on its two faced "selective incorporation doctrine" and say that the right of the States to form an orderly militia says no, just like they did with Kelo.
