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:
And James what are you going to do when a criminal who gets his weapons on the black market comes and wants to do bodily harm to you in your family?
Your drivers license isn’t a federal license, yet is recognised in all 50 states .
Allow the states control over issuance to their residents, but demand reciprocity between all 50 states.
Who said people can’t defend themselves? Not me!!! We have a right to own guns, who said we didn’t? I live in the South, everyone has a gun. We also have the right to a safe society!! All rights have limits. Assault weapons ban, universal registration, background checks, no fly no buy, no gun sales to felons or insane or stalkers or terrorists are all GOOD ideas, and Constitutional. Some of these ideas might help prevent people who are NOT criminals from becoming bad guys with guns… and victims.
Truthandaction is a terrible site. Not only is it very hard to read with the light colored print, it’s also way too small. Then when you get past that…..ya wanna see the rest of the story?….click the next page.
Randy Bee u forgot the NRA ??
James Whyte, what is your definition of an assault weapon?
Who decides who is on a no fly list? (No fly lists are arbitrary. Anyone can be put on a no fly list with nothing more than a key stoke and no due process)
Who decides who is a stalker or insane or a terrorist? I knew a woman that had several so called stalkers. No one was stalking her, she just enjoyed the attention the allegations brought her.
Who determines insanity? Liberal psychologists with an agenda?
Who will label someone a terrorist? Politicians? Anyone who disagrees with the gov’t could be labeled as a terrorist.
People who are not criminals becoming bad guys with guns?…really? Do you think that guns are evil entities that somehow cause good people to become bad? Oh, no, I was a good person until I bought a gun, then I turned evil. That’s just stupid.
Tell that to Marvin Gaye (and countless other examples) Well, you can’t tell him, he was murdered by his father after a petty squat. The proximity of Marvin’s gun contributed to the tragedy. A new criminal and a victim who regret having a loaded gun so easy to reach. No, a THING like a gun is not evil or good. It has no emotion or common sense or remorse. However there have been millions of accidents, injuries, suicides, assaults and crimes which could have been avoided with more safety. It makes NO sense to tell someone they are too much of a threat to fly but it is OK to buy a gun. There is an appeal process for wrong names. Definitions of regulated items are in the laws. Insanity, convictions, temporary restraining orders are determined by the courts. These “definitions” are not arbitrary. Why pretend they are? Huge majorities of Americans support these ideas, you should too!!
Millions of people are with you Governor !
My kind of Governor. He has guts!
Typical. A group of anti-gun chumps pass legislation they expect people with guns to enforce.
