Comment on National Gun Owner Rights by the end of June? by James

Now this is a case i am torn upon because i am in favor of Chicago keeping its ban.

Let me make this clear i am all for guns and gun rights. I own many firearms and am trying to get a CCW in Los Angeles where i live (SFV). But the 10th amendment makes clear that the powers that the federal government do not have are reserved to the states respectivly or to the people. If the court says that the bill of rights which currently applies to only the federal government, applies to the states, it gives the federal government unchecked power in the battle for states rights.

like i said i am torn. in the past there have been other bills that hint that the bill of rights applies to the states but this would cement it in place. It hurts me that i know people WILL die from higher crime rates in chicago because of the gun ban but in the long run the stand for states rights is more important to me.

The people in chicago that dont like the laws reguarding guns should right their reps a letter stating such and then leave the city and perhaps the state to move to one where more freedom is allowed.

This is rights vs responcabilities. If the states have the right to govern themselves then they have the responcability to do so. And must be allowed to do well or fail based on their actions.

Obviously you’re joking, because if not, you have no idea how much trouble and in how may ways you would get into trouble. At the very least, there would be tampering with evidence charges. A good DA might even be able to get depraved mind 1st degree murder. Then there would be the civil suit(s).

What if they’re carrying an unloaded weapon in their visible holster, hoping some jerkwad punk will try to take it from them?
And when it happens, they pull a LOADED CONCEALED weapon and blow the badguys face clean off?
Then all they’d do is yank the empty clip from their unloaded weapon, and insert a loaded mag, while the gun is in the badguys grip?

The hyena analogy is a false analogy because the lion is always armed.
A person who is LEGALLY open carrying isn’t as armed as a criminal.
A criminal is going to have a loaded weapon. Someone who is LEGALLY
open carrying DOES NOT have a loaded weapon. Therefore the criminal
is at the advantage. All it takes is the criminals to learn who is legally
open carrying and who isn’t.

Since legal open carriers like to be well dressed because they are making
a political statement, it’s not hard to pick off who is carrying the criminals
next free gun.

Ok first you invade Irag then you train them after screwing thier country up you blow them to hell and back you blow up their weapons and then you give them bullets that are ending up in the bad guys hands and killing our guys. That i can understand some what. But now you want to give a guy who can’t read above the 4th grade a devise that I can’t afford let alone take out the United States becuse you are afraid that it will get stolen by some dam terrorist and you want to give the torrest brother the most costly rifle sight on the market. I will fight this shit. We are giving them AR-15′S that look like AK’s my taxes are going to pay the guys who blow up the World Trade Center give me a break this crazy sh*t must stop
This is not World War II it will not end in 7 years this will be going on long after i’m dead. My kids my friend kids are not going to fight some guy who we gave arms to like Reagan did if we look at it we should have let the Russians do what they do best in the 80’s but no one listen to them they told us that it would come back to bite us in the end and it has!! Are we paying these people to come and kill us at a later date with our own weapons I give about a year before some of our troops say we found a Trijicon Scope on the bad guy and we gave it to them!

Comment on Law would approve showing gun by donttreadonme

Depends on how you do it.
Take for instance this example.
True story too by the way.
Say some wussy gang members try a bump and tap on the freeway. And failed.
Then follow you for 15 miles.
You park at a grocery store and go to the bank inside.
Come out with $200 in cash.
Walk to your vehicle you parked at the far end of the parkinglot where people park their vehicles that are for sale, so others driving down the road can see them.
You notice some silly punk laying on the hood of your car looking in the windshield.
You ask him “WTF R DOING?”
His sissy friend and him run at you, while one steps behind you to see which pocket your wallet is in, while the other stands there and shakes(because he’s a sissy), chain smoking cigarettes, and asks you if that is your car, and states they “had 1 just like it and it got stolen and we think your car is ours. OPEN IT.”
Then go back to your car.
Now u know something is up, because u know the car is yours, and u don’t have to prove shite to anyone except the police, which they never called, even tho they claim u r in their stolen car.
So u pull a crazy Ivan and head towards the store where there r lots of people while trying to dial 911 on your cell fone.
Now when your fone starts beeping, they 2 idiots turn around and ask u “Where the **** u’re going!?”
And u inform these bozos u r going to the store to call the police, and the one that’s twice your size runs at you and swings trying to punch u the face, but u DUCK and go under it, forward, and pull your Beretta from your fanny pack.
Now ifg u’re in a state where deadly force is legal against someone trying to cause u bodily harm u have the green lite to blow his face clean off but u don’t, because u can’t, because u can’t chance putting innocent bystanders in danger because this clown has six lanes of traffic behind him, and the school down the street has just gotten out and there’s children walking thru the parkinglot as well.
Did I mention his wuss friend screaming and falling down trying to run away at the sight of u with a gun in your hand?
Now the idiot you drew down think’s he can take u, because u still haven’t pointed your gun at him and lunges forward, so u hold your hand sideways to rassure this screwball that u really do have a gun.

Mean while his buddy that ran away has grabbed a gun out of his jeep and has started waving it around, while the guy that tried to hit u has went 20′ to his left to stand in front of his kids that were never in any danger, screaming “Don’t shoot my kids!”
So u do a 180 and zig zag towards the store so u don’t get shot in the back, while MARTINEZ chases u yelling for someone to grab u cuz u stole their car.
Then someone coming from the store tries to block your entrance to the store because he broke 2 golden rule:
1. Don’t be a hero
2. Don’t get involved in someone elses business. Call the police instead.
So u show the hero u have a gun in your hand by turning your palm out, and the hero stands down after seeing it.

When the police arrive they insult your intelligence by informing u they really did have a car like your stolen. Same year, same color, same model.
Yeah, I’ll bet.
The cop also says he’s going to arrest u. Because they were defending themselves from u.
(Which means this was part of some large conspiracy and whomever is in charge outta be shot themselves for putting soooo many people in danger, and u should check the rooftops for a Marine sniper putting the crosshair on you)
U inform the silly, fat bastage he ain’t got anything on you, if he did, u’d already be in the back of his car, and they had 15 miles to call the police, and ask him if he’d let anyone with prison tattoos glorifying the Mexican revolution and with MARTINEZ tattoo’d on his back (Probably so his shower buddy would know who’s picking up that soap).
Then u get yer Beretta back, get in your car and drive away.
And declare you’ll lift Martinez’ fairy tail hair if u ever get the chance….
*****
I would under NO CIRCUMSTANCES display my weapon in any other manner, unless u r manuevering yourself with a holstered weapon on your hip so it’s known you’re armed.
Even sooooo, some dirty cop might attempt to claim u r threatening and intimidating.
U take a chance either way.

Comment on Biden: U.S. to Appeal Dismissal of Blackwater Charges by Whaledriver

Just out of curiosity, were the Blackwater guards Mirandized before they were questioned? Or do you have to be a terrorist to be read your Miranda rights?
