SCOTUS Rejects Challenge to Semi-Auto and Magazine Ban

Finally showing its hand on a case that’s been relisted time and again over the past several weeks, the Supreme Court today announced it will not hear Friedman v Highland Park, a challenge to a Chicago suburb’s ordinance against the possession, sale and purchase of politically incorrect semiautomatic firearms and standard capacity magazines. [More]
The majority cowards don't dare try to "rule" on this. So now it's all up to us.

Right on schedule. Less than 24 hours after an Obama gun control speech. Full coordination throughout the Federal government to take our natural rights away.

Use your First Amendment rights and overwhelmingly drown out his voice with yours. If your local, state and Federal elected officials think that the current status is is acceptable, then they will continue to deny your rights. Let them know otherwise.

Well, this ruling certainly makes things less ambiguous. If appeals to the highest court in the land have failed then we can, and should, look for other ways to protect our freedoms and ensure that the people pushing us all towards civil strife, economic depression and war cannot help but see how determined we are to protect our liberties. Even the most clueless among us should be able to recognize that none of the three branches of government is on the side of the people, the bureaucracy is hopelessly compromised, and they don't even care to pretend that our thoughts on the matter are worth considering in the least. I'd say that we are long past the point where working within the system will do anything other than give us false hope. Short of an event that is big and terrifying enough to awaken the clueless there is little hope for meaningful redress of grievences without a whole lot of other battlefield preparation before hand. They won't stop until the cost of their actions is no longer spread across our society, but rather entirely applied to them personally. In other words the penalties for their actions must be severe enough and personal enough to cut through the BS so that we can convince anyone else who is inclined to take this same path decides not to start in the first place. The tree of liberty hasn't been tended to in quite a long time. Somehow I think that's going to change, and soon.

Ah! The ritual "Washing of the Hands"

Surely we must follow that with "Girding of the Loins"

... or as is more appropriate "Lock & Load"

Interesting times approach apace ...
