Huzzah for the SCOTUS
June 26, 2008 – 10:23 am by KelIf I’m to understand http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/ correctly, it would seem that the Supreme Court just recently released their ruling on Heller vs. The District of Columbia which has decided that the second amendment protects an individuals right to bear arms. This is outstanding news. Therefore, I hereby declare today Second Amendment Day here at Blagnet.net.
Though the majority opinion was written by that horrible pro-torture, anti-Habeas Corpus, fascist judge Scalia, you can find it here.

Yeah, I was going to write a post about the headline I read on Yahoo news, “Supreme Court says Americans can own guns” or something like that. Um, yeah…so does the Constitution. So does the nature of the universe. What five Supreme Court justices say about an issue has no bearing on right or wrong. Although, unfortunately, it has immense impact on what the central government can and can’t do.
Many desperate Statolatrist gun-haters over the years have turned to the wording of the Second Amendment that mentions “a well-regulated militia” to justify heavily regulating gun ownership and even saying only government employees or government licensees can rightfully own guns. As George Mason said, “What is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.”
