Saying more than half of all firearms used in street crimes come from 1 percent of licensed gun dealers, Attorney General Bill Lockyer joined gun control advocates Tuesday in a campaign to crack down on gun trafficking.California, of course, has all of the "reasonable gun control laws" the antis clamor for in other states. But they're not enough. They're never enough.
Lockyer, of course, says you have no right to keep and bear arms, and is backed up by both the state Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
And the gutless US Supreme Court, of course, keeps ducking the issue, despite a clear conflict between federal courts.

Why is this country full of !@#$%@!! who are more concerned with the "rights" of people who are not citizens, or who are citizens that don't contribute,or who destroy civilization, and constantly harass,malign,and destroy citizens who obey the law, build and create,and pay the freight for the whole damned business? Oh,I forgot. Communism just hasn't been tried enough or funded enough,or tried in the right place yet. There are several major political upheavels on the way, and one or more of them will be the push too far.
I don't know that I'd trust the SCOTUS with a 2A decision yet.
RJ--don't you have a right to know where you stand--NOW?
If they rule against us, that will be a trip wire. And they can't rule for pure 2A, because no government voluntarily gives up their edge on power.
Truth is, they don't dare rule definitively either way--if and when they do, it will be as a qualified individual right BUT with a string of "compelling state interest" caveats that will leave intact most "existing gun laws."
But if we wait a few mnore years, it may be too late--and they WILL be able to rule against us.
It would be nice to know, David, but you're just saying they will continue to dodge the issue. I've lost faith in the entire judicial system at this point. I'll keep my guns no matter what those cretins rule.
I will not only keep mine, but I may keep them hot, until I am room temperature. I will not take another step back, not one.
"RJ--don't you have a right to know where you stand--NOW?"-David.
David, I would like a shot at this question. I know where I stand as I suspect RJ and yourself does. I stand in support of the supreme law of the land as embodied in the constitution and no misinterpretation will change that.
Did you mean to ask if it would be nice to know where THEY stand?
I meant where you stand in their eyes.
If they are going to rule 2A is a collective fiction, then I want to know it asap--not sit around fooling myself with false hope that some day they may deign to feed me a scrap.
The 2A community is kidding itself and playing into their game. It's past time we demanded of our government that they lay their cards on the table and say flat out what their intentions are in re rkba.
Then we take their answer and ask accordingly.
That's why I want to force a pure 2A SCOTUS decision now.
There are those whiners who will then complain we could lose our gun rights.
They could lose theirs.
I'll only lose mine if I surrender them, which ain't happening.
We already know where we stand in their eyes, David. We should be disarmed, but they know we're too dangerous for them to try. That's why they can't just rule the 2A out of existence. That's why they infringe a little here, and a little there.
