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.

James, I have to say after reading all the posts you made. I have come to this conclusion. You sir by far are the biggest moron I have ever come across. If the Webster Dictionary had a picture with the meaning of moron. Your face would be right next to it. Please stop while you can. Anything you say from this point on makes you look even more dumb.
And what exactly do you think to bear arms means. The second amendment gives you the right to store a surplus of guns and ammunition and carry them as you choose.
There’s a reason why those towns died or changed that rule.
A militia.
here is a summary of SC Case DC v Heller (08)… this case established an individual right to be armed for “lawful purposes”… and ….
“Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.”
Don DO NOT call 911 if you are ever robbed or attacked. After all you obviously do not believe in guns for protection; so do not call someone who has one.
Jeff Whitworth you are correct on that
Last week the SC ruled state assault weapon bans ARE Constitutional … Hey Hal, I don’t recall bad-mouthing Texas. Why would a big Southern white boy do that? (although the SC just now struck down a Texas abortion law) Hey Grendel don’t confuse me with someone who gives a rat’s about what conclusions you make. We were enjoying a discussion about guns and your childish insults only take up space.
I love this guy.
Most police academies don’t spend much time on guns, why? It doesn’t take many brain cells to operate a gun safely. That’s why 150,000,000 Americans do it daily with no incident, regardless of formal training. Most of any law enforcement training consists of teaching you the law so you know how to enforce it.
