OK, I think I can write about this now…
It has taken me a little time to spin down after the SCOTUS decision that was just rendered.
The “ruling” on the 2nd Amendment to the constitution was a travesty. It should have been an easy 9-0 decision. Instead, we apparently have 4 “SC Justices” that can’t read.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I don’t see any wiggle room there. The rest of the 1st 8 amendments deal with LIMITING THE GOVERNMENT IN DEALING WITH INDIVIDUALS. This has been ruled on by the SCOTUS many times before.
Why is the 2nd amendment singled out for a group?
And what really takes the cake is :In his dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority “would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.” He said such evidence “is nowhere to be found.”
Are you kidding me? That is PRECISELY what the framers had in mind. Limiting the government,i.e. elected officials, attempts to disarm the populace. And we have someone who took an oath of office to uphold and protect the Constitution saying there is no evidence for this….. PLEASE .
5-4 decision? May God have mercy on us all.
