Court’s Denial in Machine Gun Case Ignores Second Amendment Purpose

"We reiterated that ‘[a]t its core, the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to possess non-dangerous weapons for self-defense in the home,’ and thus, under Heller, ‘restrictions on the possession of dangerous and unusual weapons are not constitutionally suspect because these weapons are outside the ambit of the amendment,’” the opinion states. “[G]overnments may restrict the possession of machine guns.” [More]

Well heck -- if legal scholars in black robes say we have no right to keep and bear militia-suitable arms because they're "dangerous," who are we to argue?

Uh-oh.  I guess he's tolerant and diverse-- he's just not that tolerant and diverse.

You know, kind of like the Opposite Day "progressives" that accuse RKBA advocates of racism, and then brand blacks who support Liberty issues "Uncle Toms" and the like.

I've written about Nicki Stallard and Pink Pistols before. Unfortunately, the article is no longer accessible from Examiner and it does not show up on the Wayback Machine Internet Archive.

As far as the whole LGBTUVWXYZ (or whatever it's called these days) thing goes, decrying coercion or hypocrisy -- as I'll continue to do -- is not the same as "bashing." We can live and let live, and not make other people's lives more difficult. By commandeering the word "tolerance," the collectivists have actually -- as if by design -- made that more difficult for all.

Mike and I have never stopped talking about it.  We were the ones begging Congress and the media to notice and investigate for themselves.

And new original reporting is still being suppressed/ignored.

Disregarding for a moment the corruption and tyranny-spawning obscenity that is "the War on Drugs," I couldn't argue with anyone claiming an urban black busted with "19 pounds of marijuana and guns" would receive more than probation. [More]

Maybe you can start by reading a sermon.

Gee, "progressive" Raw Story treating Christians with something less than Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule this time out.  That's a departure from standard practice.

Gotta encourage those idiots to keep being useful, I guess...
