You Can't Buy a Gun...

...because you don't have standing. [More]

See how simple life can be when we just let judges tell us what our rights are?

  1. Plaintiff SAF is a non-profit "organization of gunmen?"

    WTF?!

  2. I say, let's just stand around some more, maybe harumph a little, and frown, and harumph some more. That's the standing we've got anyway. We get outraged, profane, blue in the face, but please y'all, let's not do nothin'. Wouldn't be fittin'. Me? I'm just waiting my turn for the knock on the door, you know, so I can get all flustered and disappear down Leviathans throat.

  3. "Plaintiff SAF is a non-profit organization of gunmen."

    WHAT?

  4. Well, yeah. If you're not the police, who but criminals want anything to do with guns?

  5. Hmmm, and David, is the term "gunman" now automatically meaning a criminal?

    Horsemen are those who ride horses...

    And Sean, just what is it you are proposing to do about all this? Just curious...

    I'm all for tall trees and short ropes. Just need a little help with it. :)

  6. It's the prevalent meaning. The first definition on Merriam Webster:

    "a man armed with a gun; especially : a professional killer"

  7. I propose we find a secondary means of communication and go from there.

    The decision lends itself readily to a one sentence summary which follows:

    "This issue cannot be settled peacefully, therefore getting guns anyway possible and using them against us is your only recourse."

    And that gentlemen and lady is exactly what the ruling says.

    Sort of like Sean, only different a little. I may disappear down Leviathan's hole, but I'm taking company, who will undoubtedly hate being in my company, but that choice is mine. They will leave no other. I am not loath to harm those who harm me.

    I believe in killing. Uh huh, not ashamed to say it. I believe in killing. I do not believe in murder. So if someone wishes to remain safe from me, do not justify your own death.

  10. This decision is based on controlling a right by controlling the property needed to express it. A parallel to the First Amendment would be that you have a free press but you cannot buy word processing software, a text editor or even a pencil and paper. Then, because you cannot be arrested for trying, you cannot sue the Federal Government because that would be a "preenforcement [sic] challenge".

    This is a malicious decision and an example of Gestapo Law: If you torture the law long enough it will give you the answer you want.

    Billy Beck is right. "All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war."
