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:
You are full of$#%&!@*and all of you need to be fired. This is Obama trying to take our guns. You are betraying the people and they better fight back. Because we do have a right to protect our selves from people like you. That is also in the constitution.
Hmm…if I lived there I’d be looking for another state to live in.
Unconstitutional
never
This is a non-issue. The Second Amendment, applicable to the federal government, guarantees every citizen the right to keep and bear arms. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, commonly called the Incorportation Doctrine, most provisions (i.e., Amendments 1-8) of the Bill of Rights now apply and are enforceable against state and local governments.
It’s coming with Hillary and there is nothing you can do to stop it !!!!

B******t
Paul Vaccaro actually Article 5 of the US Constitution states that it takes 2/3 of both the House and the Senate to propose a constitutional amendment but the proposed amendment must be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures before it can be enacted.
I don’t think so. Even die hard Democrats will not vote for her.
Don’t be a stooge
