“Second Amendment Cases” Before SCOTUS Bypass Core Purpose

As of this writing the cases have been relisted again. If the court does pick one, it will share something in common with the other contenders: All either ignore or tread lightly on the core purpose behind the Second Amendment, the maintenance of a well-regulated militia deemed “necessary to the security of a free State.” You can’t have that without an armed populace whose “right … to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” [More]

Yes, these are all good cases, all worthy of being advanced. But when are we going to get serious about addressing the part about "the security of a free State"?

“You assaulted a little girl and other innocents because of your political beliefs,” one Twitter user messaged him. “Hey so are you the piece of shit who assaulted a child in Maryland today on the bicycle trail?” asked another. “Hey you racist bitch….we’re coming for you.” “You deserve to pay.” “Ur going down u disgusting piece of shit.” “Nice job assaulting a small child today. You need to be fired from your job immediately.” “YOU UGLY RACIST BITCH.”. [More]

And these people, quick to condemn non-"progressives" as Nazis, "serve" on juries...

Tell me that shouldn't be a firing offense from a public job!

It pays to be an oath-breaker, and based on the preponderance of comments, it seems the useful idiots want it that way. It really is disappointing to see so few gun owners championing their rights and giving these political weasels hell.

Red Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter was formed in 2013 by three self-styled “Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries,” who selected as their movement icon convicted cop-killer and Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur. Shakur had fled to Cuba after being convicted of the homicide she committed when her car was stopped for a broken tail-light by two New Jersey state troopers. Without any warning, Shakur shot trooper Werner Foerster. The 34-year- old Vietnam veteran was lying wounded on the ground pleading for his life, when Shakur walked over and executed him. Officer Foerster left a widow and a three-year-old son. Black Lives Matter activists refer to the murderer as “our beloved Assata Shakur” and chant her words as a ritual, “at every meeting, every event, every action, every freeway we’ve shut down, every mall we’ve shut down.”  The chant is this: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” The last line is lifted directly from the conclusion to the Communist Manifesto, a document and war cry that has led to the murders of millions. [More]

Just to be clear: It's a woman's body/a woman's choice? But if she doesn't make her choices in the way the collective demands, will she be condemned as a racist and ruined...?

And what is it but the collective's demands, that is, what it wants to watch, that determines value for "services" rendered...?

Exiting the world of porn, let's consider a sleazier, less honest business: mainstream Hollywood. You don't need to look very hard (sorry) to find all kinds of nudity and sex scenes, including not just interracial but gay/lesbian action. The question arises (sorry again), what if a budding starlet really doesn't want to, but feels pressured by future career option considerations, including being vilified and ...uh....... blackballed (sorry, sorry, sorry) for turning a role down? How is that morally any different from Harvey Weinstein or the #MeToo-villified casting couch?

Even an old industry pro like Yul isn't much help trying to get some "progressive" consistency on this.
