Our constitution was effectively re-written once again this week, as a group of liberal judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that the right to gun ownership in public is not protected by the constitution. It makes one wonder, if judges think that the ability to carry a gun isn’t a constitutional right, what does the Second Amendment protect?
This ruling is further proof of the dire need this country has for conservative judge appointments, and no sitting Governor seems more aware of this than Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
In a tweet attacking the senseless conceal carry decision, Abbott leveled a clear threat, “come and get it.”
Unfortunately for the Governor, state executives and legislators are being stripped of their rights to create and enforce the laws in their own states. Instead, activist judges have decided to grant themselves lawmaking power in order to push their personal agendas.
Continue reading on the next page to see the Court of Appeal’s shockingly absurd decision:
The Orlando Massacre is/was a preventable war crime…
It’s not a tragedy, it’s a war crime…. Text book war crime… The poor souls lost and wounded are indeed causalities of war. Memory Eternal and May Their Memory Be a Blessing.
Let’s get to it… I say neither and/or none of the candidates are worthy of our Nation. Blathering into a microphone, nor throwing hysterical fits, nor sitting on the floor like a child- changes anything, …and such horror will continue…
War crime is the most accurate term. I’ve got some other words… start a “true and valid” 3rd Party and give our Military authorization to finish the mission in the Middle East.
We could see this one coming a mile away. Time to clean House in the US.
In fact, let’s build a new one patterned on the US Constitution. The Current House has fallen. The “Old” Senate isn’t much better. And the White House is – leaderless.
Barack, Hilary, and John are politically done; and playing the smoke and mirrors game.
How criminal that it had to take another war crime like the Orlando Massacre, springing from political negligence, to make it happen. Lord God, have mercy on us.
Where’s that NEW PROGRESSIVE PARTY!? Morn for seven days yes, but start The Party. Now is the time…
And start using the The National Guard to protect their/our own home towns.
The uniformed Deputy at Pulse did what he could, but if a well armed Guardsman/woman were there with an automatic weapon- it would have ended between the two of them…quickly.
If some of the patrons were legally armed… it would have also ended quickly.
How many unarmed former combat troops were present? All US Military oaths include “… all enemies foreign and domestic,…”, mine did. And I’m fully and legally armed.
If only some were allowed to legally carry a gun…it would have ended quickly…not 49 perishing, and the same wounded.
Other “civilized” nations use their Military and “well armed Militia” to protect their citizenry…on every street corner, at every bar, at every market, at every place of worship, at every large gathering. Why doesn’t the U.S.? This would not be Marshal Law. Martial Law is when a Nation’s Military controls the Government. IF such were the case in the US, the Middle East would be a sea of glass. This would be Guardsmen/women augmenting existing civilian Law Enforcement.
That is “redoubling our effort”. Our ham-strung civilian Law Enforcement could sure use a hand…and routinely carry automatic weapons. Most I’ve ever befriended must admit, there is little they can do beforehand- only respond within seven-to-twenty minutes, and mop up.
Time for the 50 US Governor’s to deploy the US Militia (The National Guard) in the their States, openly, everywhere. The name defines the purpose of the Armed Force. We the People – are the U.S. Military and Law Enforcement. Our Government should let them do their/our job, well…fully equipped and fully supported.
And you are damn right, we want to help with NON-LETHAL WEAPONIZED CANNABIS ™.
Use “We the People…”, here…now.

Obama always speaks from an agenda of diverting attention away from Islam, to guns. It is a tactic of reducing the US to acting and speaking from a position of “weakness” like its OUR fault that Islam is murderous. The US is should ONLY speak from a position of “Strength” but that would require Obama to recognize the real threat isn’t guns, it is Islam.
The US should adopt the same Texas message “Don’t mess with Texas” to any and all Islamic terrorist “Don’t mess with America”
If we are to go by your interpretation of the “Founders’s intent” then I need you to stop exercising your 1st Amendment right to Free Speech with anything but voice, quill and ink, and mechanical printing presses. For the record, at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, there were FAR more advanced weapons around than just muskets, i.e. the Puckle Gun, Ferguson rifle, Giradoni air rifle, and many others. Couple that with the fact that private citizens owned everything from cannons/howitzers/mortars to warships (even a provision in Art. 1, Sec. 8 in Constitution allowing for Congressionally-sanctioned piracy against foreign actors by private citizens.)
I would also like to add that the most COMMON weapon of its time, the Brown Bess musket, fired a .75 cal projectile. A firearm with a projectile that size is actually controlled by the ATF and classified as a destructive device (anything over .50cal is) and requires extensive and expensive licensure from the ATF to own.
The founding fathers didn’t use a computer to write with back then either, so you better write it all down on paper with a quill pen and ink. sSend it out snail mail if you want people to listen…
I-10 goes east and west. Feel free to drive until you see the “Now leaving Texas” sign.
All I can say to the federal government is, “come and get them” is nothing like an invitation to a Sunday in the South picnic …you boys won’t like the results if you think you’re gonna take some guns….
The problem with the “no fly, no buy” b******t is that there is no due process. You can be put on a no fly list with nothing more than a key stroke. Where did you find your b******t polls?…CNN, MSNBC, CBS?…Manipulamedia.
The military is to protect us from foreign enemies. The 2nd amendment protects us from domestic enemies including, if necessary, our own gov’t.
Thes3 judges need to be stripped of their right to carry as well. If it’s good enough for we little peons, it should be good enough for them…
I would trust a war vet to protect me 100 times more than any trained body guard!!!
