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.

Jerry Germscheid wow. The point flew right over your head didn’t it?
Robert Phillips “they trained”?????
James Whyte Are you misinformed or just lying? “Due process” in this country is “innocent until proven guilty” being put on the no fly list is “guilty until you petition and pay to be proven innocent”. This country doesn’t work that way. You’re irrational fears are not a basis to corrupt the founding civil rights of our citizens. Sorry, your opinion is unconstitutional.
That’s very funny… no one’s opinion is unconstitutional. free speech is free thought is protected by the 1st. “Due process” is a complicated legal concept which means the government must be fair to those accused of a crime. It’s more complicated than a cliche. People are NOT put on the list because their name is Mohammed or Jamal. Actions and deeds get names put on the list. It sounds as if you don’t really approve of the no fly list at all. Millions of air travelers from many countries disagree. And like I said before, over 80% of the US public is against gun sales to those on the list… ’tis not me who is uninformed. Why not climb onboard the USS Common Sense, there is plenty of room.
Wow 100 likes. Thanks!
What are you saying Shane Patterson,. To circumvent the illegal rules we should carry around 1851 Colt cap and ball revolvers?. And a possiblles bag with lead balls, flask of powder, caps ,cleaning supplies , and all the other$#%&!@*required to have six shots for defense against the criminal who are clearly using modern, high capacity firearms ?…No thanks….those are a blast to shoot, and a cool part of history but not a very good self defense tool….if you can did need it for defense…I assure you that you would start the fight with a great disadvantage.
I knew what you meant dough. If I was gov. I would tell the courts that a nice opinion now let’s see you enforce it.

Texan republicans have elected George bush, Rick Perry, and Ted Cruz. So they obviously don’t have the brain power to carry a gun safely.
Back in my day, when I rode into town on my horse, Sheriff Dillon tequited me to turn in my handgun until I was ready to leave.
