You should live in MD.

Hubby had to remove the magazine that contained his *7* allowed bullets to go 300 yards up to the hunt club property my dad owns, never once touching an inch of public land, just to hunt deer.

A DNR nazi made ‘surprise visits’ this whole season to make sure nobody had a loaded gun unless they were actually pointing it at a deer.

When I was in high school, every boy had his loaded rifle in the rack of his truck to haul @ss out after school to catch as much daylight as possible.

They’ll hang you for that, now.

_On my dad’s land_.

While Heller certainly was a victory, it was never the total and complete victory some of my pro-gun friends thought it was. Basically all the decision said was the government could not impose an absolute ban on firearms and as I guessed the gun control side was going to come back and say, “OK, this ruling means that we can still do anything except a total ban.”

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

So what other Rights in the Constitution don't apply outside the home: free speech, trial by jury, cruel and unusual punishment, blacks not being slaves, women voting??

[Lion Den Dan]

So I don’t have a home. Am I then deprived to the right to keep and bear arms? Don’t see this as holding water.

[Pecos]

You aren’t expecting consistency, or anything approaching justice, from the Left, are you?

Hope you all had your rifle's on safety. I remember on the local news years ago when a man was putting his loaded rifle, not on safety, into the gun rack and accidently shot and killed his 19 year old son who was across the cab. I would always unload before securing a gun. I can't imagine the guilt this man will live with..

The time is coming when they cross the line from soft tyranny to hard tyranny. Gun registration is the first step toward confiscation, which then always leads to the same end under socialism - mass civilian graves.

So the “judge” is a glittering jewel of collosal ignorance.

She’s liberal, so what’s the point?

It is very simple to see why Judge Sue Myerscough and others do not want more weapons in Illinois, especially Chicago.....that judge, Obama, Holder, Michelle, Jarrett, the Major and others of that race, see America as though the nation were South Side Chicago or Detroit, places of crime and corruption.

“loaded rifle in the rack of his truck “

Most intelligent people didn’t drive around with a loaded rifle in their car. It’s part of that whole gun safety thing. If you are a gangsta, you keep your AK locked and loaded at all times because you never know when the hatas are going to go off on you.

This is exactly what Newt referred to when he said that judges need to be held to account and removed if they practice political activism from the bench and their ruling is clearly contrary to the intent of the constitution. None of the 10 amendments states or even implies a physical boundary or place where our rights are to be curtailed, constrained or restricted.

>>>Two pro-Second Amendment groups — the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Illinois Carry — filed a lawsuit<<<

There’s the problem. Gun-rights groups don’t make for sympathetic plaintiffs, gun-rights individuals do. Both Heller and McDonalds were individuals simply trying to get by.

Ask Alan Gura.

Dangerous question:

Why can’t the people of Chicago and DC be trusted to carry firearms?

[Enterprise]

Exactly. What the judge ruled was that you have the right to live inside your home, but you lose the right to live outside your home.

Oh for crying out loud. There's a difference between "loaded" in a magazine and having a round chambered.

Keep it loaded but always clear the chamber. Keep the bolt/action open if you like. It's not that difficult.

[Jacquerie]

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

We are no longer a self governing people. We are ruled by Executive commissars and judges.

[drbuzzard]

We should be thankful the judge is a lefty moron. Though granted it depends on Kennedy doing the right thing, I imagine the SCOTUS will do the right thing here. If the lefty judge had just decided in favor, they could have firewalled it down at Illinois(or just that circuit) without it being applicable to the whole country which will be the case if SCOTUS calls it.

[CodeToad]

Has the USSC ruled that free speech exist soutside the home? Just where in the Constitution does it say that the Bill of Rights exists only within the home?
