The Left is always willing to cite Supreme Court cases and demand that the states and the people abide by the high court’s decisions. Unless, of course, the decisions are contrary to the leftist ideology, in which case there will be an endless parade of liberal legislators creating new laws to tell the people what they can and cannot do, even when it directly contradicts a Supreme Court ruling. They always think they know better and are more than willing to ignore settled case law if it suits their liberal agenda.
This is glaringly obvious when it comes to gun laws that various cities and states impose on citizens in response to violence that they are unable to control in their jurisdictions. In places such as Los Angeles, California, Washington D.C., and Chicago, Illinois, it is clear that criminal activity is out of control, in spite of the fact that these cities have some of the most draconian anti-gun laws on the books. But with criminals running wild, and citizens cowering in their homes and staying far away from downtown areas because the criminals having free reign, what is the automatic reaction of liberals and left leaning politicians? Why, taking away guns from law-abiding citizens!
In 2008, a case entitled District of Columbia v. Heller finally reached the Supreme Court, and a decision was handed down that many thought would put an end to the constant squabbling over who had the right to own a gun, and what the terms for such ownership were. It turns out that certain cities and states have decided to completely ignore that ruling and to institute laws that essentially bar ownership of guns within their jurisdiction. It is outrageous, and it must stop!
New restrictions on guns, page 2:
Well it appears people may want to leave Illinois, after this resolution was passed by the clowns in Springfield. As some people have said, civil war is coming. My guns are near where I can get to them. First people to get kicked out muslim refugees..
um what ?
Its called “The Overton Window of political possibilities”. Its a technique of manipulating perception until something unthinkable seems reasonable. Small objectives are achieved until radical ideas are perceived as acceptable. Its also applied by inmates to get staff to smuggle contraband, espionage agents to get people to betray their country, and salespeople to convince people to spend more than they intended.
Gun control only benefits the criminal. Criminals don’t fear the law, why would they they are all stacked in their favor. They don’t fear the police. The only thing they fear is selecting a mark that refuses to be a victim. They fear victims that are alert, armed and able to fight back.
Its basic biology the higher the concentration of prey, the higher the population of predator. Instead of trying to create laws to restrict guns. How about laws to restrict criminals? How about cleaning up the self defense laws to actually reduce victims, how about laws to actually protect victims instead of criminals, how about actually doing something to protect the honest for once?
If you want to stop “gun violence” make it so that the criminals are the ones taking the risk. Make due process about making sure criminals get a fair trial, not about making sure criminals get as little punishment as possible. Make it so criminals are financially responsible for the damage they cause, restitution for their victims medical bills, property damage, lost work days. Make it so criminals cannot sue their victims, period, ever. Clean up the laws, he’s so worried about loopholes, how about the thousands of them in the penal codes that aid the criminal. Protect the victims, violating a restraint order is an intentional act, is calculated to cause harm, fear, or to outright attack their victims, make violation of a restraining order a shall respond crime if not an out right felony. And then prosecute it. Prosecute stalkers. Make jails and prisons actual punishment, and make convicted criminals financially responsible for their incarceration. No reason for honest people to pay room and board and criminals to get it at taxpayer expense. Make crimes yes or no. 3 strikes should mean never being free again. Its time for honest people to be free, and criminals to be the ones taking the risks.
Yup if you guys all sit on your$#%&!@*as usual and let them do it they will keep being lazy

Every gun manufacturer in the state will leave and there are several.The tax loss and unemployment will cost the state millions.But since none of them are located in Crook County it is of little importance to this bankrupt state to lose more businesses.
B******T!!!
Firstly, it recognizes the right of a State to defend itself by raising a militia.
As all criminal offenses are prosecuted as crimes against the State, defense of the State begins with the individual victim.
Further, it is not expedient to dispense arms from an armory and train the citizens in time of need, therefore the expectation that they employ the right to arm and train themselves, in addition to the individual’s right of self defense.
well damn what do you expect, obamas home state.if they were killing white people it would be different but they kill each other
Like heck, Americans have a right to be armed against our enemies. It is our 2nd Amendment right !
