Yesterday was Historical

Hi everybody. I wanted to throw in an extra post today to talk about yesterday. Yesterday was an historic day in our country. It was the first time in the history of the United States of America that The Supreme Court heard a second amendment case and sided with the Constitution. Let me explain what happen here. A man that lived in Washington DC wanted to own a carry a hand gun for self protection. Well, in Washington DC it is illegal to do so and he took them to court. The case went to the Supreme court and it found that DC's gun laws were unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has been notorious for not wanting to come within a hundred yards of the Second Amendment and this is the first time since the 1930s that it has made a ruling. Let me explain what hey ruled and what this means to you. First of all the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States states:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security for a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

Ok.. Let's look at this. It has two parts. One that speaks of States rights and one that speaks of individual rights. The first part of the amendment basically says that it is up to the individual states and local governments to decide if it's citizens shall be armed or if there is a State Militia. We call that Militia the National Guard. The second part of the amendment says that the individual has the right to self preservation and can personally be armed for that purpose. Now which is it, Does the right belong to the individual or the State? Well, up until yesterday it had been the State. Here in Florida, where I reside, the state has laws that say that we as a people have the right to arm ourselves. Other places, like Washington DC, bans that right all together.
Things changed yesterday. The Supreme Court decided in a 5-4 vote that the Second part of the amendment should be considered to have presidence. Which means that no law can be passed that takes your right to arm yourself. They said that this right still has some boundaries. I can not go to Wal Mart and buy an bazooka now, but very soon I could go to a Wal Mart in Washington DC and buy a hand gun.

Now.... My take on all of this. I am very happy about this. The constitution specifically says that I, as a citizen, have the right to protect myself and my family buy owning the biggest friggin handgun on the planet and when someone breaks in my house, I can use that gun to put a great big hole in their head. I am so proud to be an American right now. Now you will hear people whining that this will put more guns on the street and make this country more violent. Which could be true. Because violent crimes do not exist in Washington DC, which has the most stringent gun control in the nation. Oh... wait a second. Washington DC had the highest murder rate in the country. Well how about that. Well let's look at other places that have.. er had (hehe) strict gun control. New York city...Oh yeah... I want to walk around that town in the middle of the night. California... L.A.? Yeah... you will be safe there... well as long as you wear the right color hat.

Gun control DOES NOT WORK! And this ruling is the best thing that has happen to the freedoms of the American citizen since the emancipation proclamation. So let's sit back with a great big smile and let all those freedom hating (unless it their freedom) , tree hugging, dirt worshiping left wing Douche Bags whine. It's nice when a freedom is given back to the people. Feels oh so good.

And that's all I have to say for now. Thanks for stopping by my window, Pervert.

I happen to be a tree hugging douche bag with the exception of the gun control, its the only right wing republican jackass view I agree with. It makes no sense to me why you would say its totally cool for a women to abort her child but lets not give her the right to kill the guy that forcably want to get her pregnant... whatever... politics suck but make for great arguments. OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!! lol
