Gun group files lawsuit against attorney general

April 7, 2009 by  

Gun group files lawsuit against attorney general The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Attorney General Eric Holder in connection with his move to enforce the federal law against firearm purchases by non-resident American citizens.

The suit was filed jointly by SAF and two U.S. citizens Maxwell Hodgkins and Stephen Dearth who live in the UK and Canada, respectively, and have been denied the opportunity to buy firearms.

The complaint alleges the law Holder is enforcing is unconstitutional as it prevents citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights. It also asserts that the law violates their right of equal protection under the Fifth Amendment.

"This is what happens when anti-gunners rush to pass a restrictive gun law that ignores the constitutional rights of law-abiding American citizens who happen to be living abroad," says SAF founder Alan Gottlieb.

"Honest Americans who live in other countries for a variety of reasons should not be denied their Second or Fifth Amendment rights when they return to American soil," he added, calling Hodgkins and Dearth "victims of anti-gun rights zeal."

In recent weeks, SAF has also threatened to sue the Mayor of Seattle Greg Nickels if he goes ahead with his plan to ban legally-carried firearms from city property, which, according to local media reports, may be enacted as early as May.

    The Fluff Bunny aka Pollyanna wants to rewrite the Constitution to make it warm and fuzzy. Not one TV anchor or talk radio host, to my knowledge, has mentioned HR 40.
    This is only the beginning. I think he wants five groups to have reparations. Soon the rock star will be recording a Coke song with Michael Jackson.
    As John Stossel says Gimme a break !
    In the meantime, call the Capitol Switchboard and speak to your Senator. You can even ask for Pelosi and Reid.

    “America is the bgest country on earth and We will change that”

    To the democraps who voted for Pelosi the puppeteer with Soro who voted in the incompendent one I hope your thrilled with the change of selling out America.

    It is going to get a lot worse for America as the changes continue to destroy us from inside the capitol as we lose more rights to the left coast degenerates Pelosi, Feinstein ,Boxer

    Just another step to taking guns from all US citizens.
    In 1947 Al Capone was sent to prison for tax evasion. Today he could be a member of the president’s cabinet or even head of the IRS.

    There is 92% of the population that are not rich. The other 8% are wealthy. So why is everyone robbing from each other hard working American?? Maybe we need a “Robin Hood plan”, but honestly i’m so ethical i think i’d starve before i’d rob from anyone and don’t advocate robbery by anyone. My belief is that God sees what goes on and he will help us through this.
    The Rothchild’s estate alone is large enough to give every low income family a good middle class life.
    What is wrong with this scenario?? The rich hate the middle class and it’s like the old Nazi society where only blue-eyed blonds were wanted. Now they feel it’s only for the rich to live a good life so there is plenty of food for them and it’s not wasted on all the middle class….sad, but true…….In the early 1900′s we had 98% of the people into farming to feed 100% of the population……..today we have 2% of the population in the US involved in farming to feed millions of more people?? So we import all this food, some safe, some not so safe or we have huge factory farms that hormone the cattle, put arsenic in the chickens for plump breasts, so the meat, the milk and all the by products make us sick, make the large corporations wealthy and who owns many of the large food companies……..our old friends, the tobacco companies……Phillip Morris owns Kraft and is invested in other large food companies……….what did you think they’d go broke from the lawsuits?? Then Monsanto(the most evil company on Earth, can you say “Agent Orange”) makes all the pesticides that have taken all the nutrition out of the crops and most the fruits and vegetables you get are sprayed with a special “gas” (toxic) and preserved. There are silos full of apples out in Washington state that they keep fresh(if you can still call that an apple) for up to 3 years. You can buy organic, but the label is only as good as the honesty behind it.
    Then they wonder why people are leaving for South America?? The list of crimes goes on and on………this world is being run by about 250 wealthy banking families and yet 92% of the population can not stop it??
    As much as i worry about China, N Korea or those countries, are they really so bad or are they sick of trying to be ruled by the bully of the world, the US and UK?? They may be saving us temporarily from the forces that be completeing this ultimate power of owning the whole world by their globalization plan???? I guess you just live your best now and take it day by day,,,,,best i know!!

    • http://jaredland.blogtownhall.com Dave Jared

      Oh, Horse manure, Lori. You’re playing straight into the hands of the far left Democrats who want you to fear and hate the so-called “rich.” They WANT us to be distracted by their class warfare tactics so we won’t pay attention to what they’re doing to us behind the scenes. The top 1% of wealthy people “own” 19% of the nation’s wealth, but pay 28% of all taxes paid. I don’t know about you, but I’d say they are already paying “their fair share,” wouldn’t you? Quit listening to the conspiracy theorists and the black helicopter crowd. We’re in trouble, all right, but it’s at the hands of the GOVERNMENT–not the so-called “rich.” The income tax could be described as, “The taking, by force or threat of force, property of another and converting it to one’s own use or to the use of another…not the owner.” That’s the legal definition of ROBBERY and it’s the government that’s doing it to us. How do you like having your hard-earned pay stolen by the government to pay for patching holes along I-40 in Oklahoma or to pay subsidies to Amtrak, which you’ll probably NEVER ride? Not much, I’ll bet. Well, it’s Congress who does that to you–not the so-called “rich.” BTW, Robin Hood did NOT “steal from the rich and give to the poor.” He stole from, essentially, the GOVERNMENT (the nobles) and gave the poor people’s tax money BACK to them.

      Wake up and think what the democraps lies are

      “Spread the wealth” “Citizens of the world” Means taking the bread and butter out of American family homes and send it to third world countries so we can live in the same poverty they live in

    Holder is a maggot,just like so many appointees of the Mountebank in the White House. Holder, Pelousy, Frank, Specter, Hillary Clinton and the rest of the dims are, to one extent or another, quietly or otherwise, working diligently to dismantle the Republic, while the adoring hordes of morons who put them in power fawn over oBUMa’s every bow to some two bit Muslim king, and the nitwit “For the first time in my life I’m proud” fatazz Michelle wows the Oprahdopes with her Jackie Kennedy-like fashion sense. It is enough to gag a maggot — even one of Holder’s ilk! (well, maybe not…..)

    People, 2010 won’t be soon enough. The socialists will have ruined the country beyond repair or rescue by then. We can continue blogging and sharing our views, however, we have to get active, active, active now. We can start by attending local tea parties and writing or calling every Congressman and Senator, repeatedly, often and with passion and fervor for our positions. Also contact with Pelousy and Napolitano lets them know there are still many Americans who have not yet been mesmerized by The Man Behind the Curtain. I make it a point to regularly e-mail the Charlatan-In-Chief at the White House to remind him that not everyone in this country is drinking his brand of kool-aid. Let us each vow to make our voices heard where they will have the most effect. Give up some TV time and start sharing you views with your elected officials of every stripe….

  • Sammy

    Amen Gene. I believe we need strict term limits and cut the pay by 75%. That way the ones that really love this Nation would be serving for the right reasons. Not the money grubbers and special interest pawns we have there now. It’s time to do something about the mess we have now. Although I side more with the Repulicans than the Democrats, I’m sick of the mud slinging by both sides and the pathetic constant blaming of George Bush for everything. Do they actually think we are this dumb?? Apparently so. To key a relatively new Democray phrase, they are so “transparrent”!!

  • Eric g

    Just recently darrel Scott the father of Raechiel Scott, testified before the federal judiciary committee .
    They were not prepared or happy with what he had tosay .It apparently did not jive with what they want to do . He spoke for a long time , about many issues , such as NRA being at fualt of his duaghters death . But he thought the most guilty were the accusers and ourselves especialy the people right here in this room .
    There has always been forces of good and evil . When Cain murdered Able , it was not the fualt of the club he used , or the NCA . Iam not here to represent or defend the NRA . If I believed they had anything to do with her death I would be there strongest opponent . Than Mr Scott read a little poem he himself made up .
    Your laws ignore our deepest needs
    your words are empty air ,
    you’ve stripped away our heritage ,
    You’ve outlawed simple prayer ,
    Now gunshots fill our classrooms ,
    and precious children die ,
    You seek for answers evreywhere
    and ask the question ‘why’?
    You regulate restrictive laws ,
    through legislative creed
    And yet you fail to understand ,
    That God is what we need .
    Politicians evreywhere looked for a scapegoat ,such as the NRA for the Columbine massacre
    Mr Scott told of his son Craig lay under a library table and praying as he saw two of his classmates murdered before his eyes . Mr Scotts seems to be blaming our selves and our Nation for turning away from God . Of course NO mainstream media will report on this . It would not be politically correct .
    I myself think we in americia are up against a powerfull force of evil . I just read of a couple of students were expelled from some school in California for praying for a sick teacher . I believe this force must be called ANTI CHRIST becuase in school that certianly is what it is antichrist . This all has happend against the wishes of nearly all the people , accept for a few atheists . ANTICHRIST now seems to be the law of the land .

  • Roger Cotterman

    This is all part of Obama and Holder’s bullsh* to stop people from exercising their constitutional rights. This is still America and people have the right to buy firearms, even if they left the country and returned.
    Obama needs to go and the sooner the better, he made us look like an a
    * with North Korea and Iran, and now with the pirates in the Indian Ocean it is getting out of hand, and Dumbama sends one ship to help an American flagged ship, which means that it is part of the United States and has soverignty rights to navigate unchallenged anywhere in the world.

    If and when the people wake up we can turn this around. Our government is 3 times bigger then it needs to be. There are more then 60 unconstitutional laws already. We need an ammendment that any government official who voted for an unconstitutional law has committed TREASON. And will immediatly be removed from office and tried in our courts. But before that can happen we need to pass J.A.I.L for judges in every state. Then when our crooked Judges make illegal rulings and unconstitutional rulings they can be removed also. Our courts are as far out of control as our government. It is time for the people to say NO MORE!!!!!!!!! This Thing they call President is as evil as Hitler was. Martin luther King was a republican!!!! Every discrimination law and anti slavery law was passed by the Republicans and the Damocrats voted against them. Obama is a patsy for the far left. Every time he opens his mouth with out a telepromter he sticks his foot in it. He will go down in history as the absolute worst President we have ever had. People wake up, I dont agree with everything the republicans do but they are 10 times better then the far left. God Bless our troops and our Patriots, they are the only chance we have of saving this country. Gene

  • Laurie

    I am a US citizen living abroad but I am not a terrorist. I’m a patriotic, citizen clinging to my guns and religion and would protect the USA to the death. I have 3 children who were born abroad, with dual nationality who are Ronald Reagan conservatives and would defend the USA to the death. Stereotyping people because they don’t live in the USA or because they have dual nationality is kind of narrow minded. For my children dual nationality helps with paperwork coming and going from here but if forced to choose they only hold one loyalty in their hearts and that is the USA.

  • Eric g

    The contries with gun contole have had a much higher murder rate than countries without . Switzerland that has evrey citizen armed has actually suffered the least . No one has invaded switzerland becuase of the armed citizens and mountians , It just would not be worth it . I still dont like guns , I have always been afraid of them . Many innocent people have been hurt and killed by fooling with guns . So now we have laws to keep guns away from some people . The truley high murder rate suffered under gun controle laws ,allowed the goverenments to murder . Some people dont think thats anything to worry about , but history says it is something to be prepared for . So I will always stand for keeping our guns .

    • Jimmy

      You know, this world needs more people like you. You don’t like or want guns. I love guns and own several. I belive that every person over the age of 21, that has not been convicted of a violent crime should carry a gun. I don’t try to force you to own a gun and those who do not want guns should not try to take away the rights of others to have them. So many people fight over these issues because they want to control. I wanted to be one of the few who will say that I acknowledge your right not to own a gun and thank you for acknowledging my right to own them.

  • Norman Andrews

    The last half of the following has some bearing on the need to protect our
    right to keep and bear arms. The first half is only tangentially related.

    The first 2 or 3 score lines below, about the DOE, are ripped
    from a viral email I received:

    Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given
    for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
    during the Carter Administration?

    Anybody?
    Anything?
    No?
    Did’t think so!

    Bottom line…..we ‘ ve spent several hundred billion
    dollars in support of an agency……the reason for which
    not one person who reads this can remember.

    Ready???????

    It was very simple

    ……and, at the time everybody
    thought it very appropriate……

    The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977

    TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL!!

    Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????

    AND NOW IT’S 2009, 32 YEARS LATER……AND THE BUDGET FOR
    THIS NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR

    THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY
    100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES

    AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE!!

    THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY WHAT WAS I THINKING?

    Ah yes, good ole bureaucracy.

    And NOW we are going to turn the Banking System & the
    Auto Industry & the Healthcare System over to them?

    Done with what I ripped from the viral email. Here’s mine:

    The tyranny isn’t new, folks, it is very, very old. Don’t look
    for the Constitution of the United States to protect you–we
    haven’t done a good job of protecting IT. I think it may be
    too late. Successive generations of the the Supreme Court have
    made it clear that the Constitution protects us ONLY WHEN THE 9
    FEEL LIKE IT. The Supreme Court, along with the Congress and
    the executive branch, have truly become an illegitimate
    government, and they have proven the Constitution, a body of
    ideas, to be of but weak authority, if any. If you don’t study
    history and philosophy, as the founders had done, you will
    never know the value of what you are losing, nor have any hope
    of securing liberty for your children and grandchildren.

    It is a shame.

    SAF is a “terrorist organization????” What moron really believes such nonsense? Answer? The same sort of morons who think the 2nd Amendment GIVES us the right to keep and bear arms. It does NOT. It merely affirms that such a right ALREADY exists by virtue of our being free citizens. Or, the same sort of morons who think that a woman, lying raped and murdered in an alley is “more moral” than another woman, standing in the entrance to that alley explaining to the police how that rapist got a hole in his chest!

    • Ravenskeep

      …”the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”. In the context of the Constitution, phrases like “shall not be infringed,” “shall make no law,” and “shall not be violated” sound pretty unbendable, but the Supreme Court has ruled that some laws can, in fact, encroach on these phrases. For example, though there is freedom of speech, you cannot slander someone or yell Fire in a crowded building/theater, etc.; though you can own a pistol, you cannot own a nuclear weapon.
      one other small point –> …”nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”….so when B. Hussein Obama and his socialist brownshirts begin to try to confiscate my guns, I have a constitutional right to protect my property. And do you know where that comes from? Right here — “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Remember, the beginning words of the Consitution of the United States are, “We, the people…”

  • ONTIME

    Eric Holder is well evidenced as a man who believes in ulterior motive and practices his devious ways by undermining Constitutional law at every given opportunity, he fits in well with the thuggery that is being practiced from top to bottom by the majority party. The prediction made in 1944 by America’s top Commie has been spot on and if you believe in American values, the fight to keep them is going to be a major struggle, freedoms we take for granted are going to be hard fought for.

    • http://NONE ELLIS

    • Jimmy

      The freedoms we take for granted were hard fought for in the first place. The reason they are disappearing is because we aren’t fighting for them anymore. I think it’s time to start fighting again. I know that no one wants to fight, but when we can’t trust the assholes we elect to government to look after the American interest rather than their own, maybe it’s time to un-seat them all and start over. If you are illegally in this country or don’t believe in AMERICAN values get out.

    The SAF is a terrorist organization that tries to undermine U.S. soverignity.

    NO MINORITIES OR FOREIGNERS ARE ALLOWED TO OWN FIREARMS IN THE U.S.

    This law is needed to prevent uncontrollable violent crime against Americans if it did not exist. Hodgkins & Dearth, whom should be considered terrorists, should immediately have their U.S. citizenship revoked. Dual citizenship is against the law in the U.S. Further, these two should not be allowed to come onto any U.S. soil for at least 10 years.

        Well, B. Hussein Obama was born in Africa – of an American mother and a goat-herder father, although he lied and said he was born in Hawaii – which his grandmother – when she was alive, disputed, stating she was at his birth in Kenya (I think I have the country right), and our Consitution states to be POTUS you must be a “natural born citizen”.

      What are you smoking, Boy? The article neither stated these two men claimed dual citizenship, rather stated they were U.S. citizens, nor suggest they are terrorists or have any such connection. The lawsuit simply claims they were denied the right to purchase a firearm because they resided overseas. If you feel the need to support Holder and the statute, please do so. But at least get your facts straight.

      • charlie

        If they are residents living overseas or in another country why don’t they buy their guns there?????????????????? I also thought it was illegal to take a gun out of the country or am I wrong???

      • Ravenskeep

        1 – England and Canada both have restrictive gun laws – possession of guns by citizens of England and Canada are severely restricted.
        2 – No, there are no laws in the US about taking a gun out of the country. There may be a law in the country where you are trying to take the gun, like Russia, China, etc.

    • TripleTap

      Ahhh BO worshiper you lie! Dual citizenship is not against the law. Federal Law specifically addresses this issue and no requirement exists for expatriots (those desiring to live abroad or in another country) to maintain multiple citizenships so long as they comply with the laws of the land. You like many socialists speak with a forked tongue. If dual citizenship was illegal then all native americans aligned with a tribal affiliation would also be illegal aliens and maybe you, pendejo, are desiring that outcome as well. I can see it on the horizon, that the BO has written that the US is no longer a christian country and furthermore that it shall happen that the USA be changed to the United Socialist States of America. Heil Obama! As for you, GFY!

    Read the Rise of the Fourth Reich, The Case Against the Fed or The Truth About the Builderberg Group. There are numerous books out there that will educate us all about history and the real things going on behind the scenes. Gerald Celente has been correct about all of this for years. It should come as no shock to anyone who has been paying attention. Thomas Jefferson warned about a government being too big. We need to go back to our roots and the teaching of our founding fathers. We need to re-educate ourselves about what our forefathers hoped and intended for us.

    • LindyMaeUSA

      I’m very curious: If Thomas Jefferson was a Mason and deist, what would have been his purpose in coming up with so many glorious “one-liners” toward the preservation and continuity of our beloved Country??

      For example:

      “Timid (aka: politically correct)men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.” ~Thomas Jefferson

  • Used to be a liberal

    Well I guess this is about the only way to fight this administration, is through the courts and tie them right up with lawsuit after lawsuit.

    On that ship hijacking by pirates, I did not find anywhere to leave a comment, but this story here fits in as it has to do with Obama and his administration, and their attack on our freedoms. So below is how I feel.

    Here we go again, first North Korea launches despite Obama, and what is president fluff bunny’s response? Whaaaaa they broke the rules. Then today another news story pointed out that both China and Russia have hacked into the U S electric grid, any surprise there, lets see what president fluff bunny does or says about that, today we hear that even the lowly Somali Pirates are challenging this disgrace of a president. So what will we hear now, more PC from him, how about some give aways to the pirates, more understanding, along with appeasement.

    Does this president not understand peace through strength. Why are he and his cohorts deliberately undermining the USA, why is he and his cohorts so intent on ruining this country. The nuclear deterrent has been just that a deterrent from a major world war, and a deterrent from an invasion of this country. Remove that and if we think we have problems now, “then you ain’t seen nutten yet”

    There is something seriously wrong at the White House and something very wrong with the leadership of the Democrat Party. It seems to have been hijacked by a bunch of lunatics, and if they are not lunatics, and they simply know not what they do, then they do not belong in their positions, but if this is a deliberate attempt, agenda, program to make the USA equal with the rest of the world then these people need to be tarred and feathered sent out of town on a rail. The weakening of the United States of America is tantamount to treason.

      The current usurper residents of the White House don’t have to know what they are doing. Their handlers (Soros, Rockerfeller, Rothchild, etc) have put everything they need to know to destroy this country on BO’s teleprompter!!
      It is sad but true–BO is doing everything his handlers say to do–and doing it in such a charming, doofus type of way–that some people are STILL not aware of the final outcome lookming–the total breakdown of the US as a Constitutional Law-run country!!
      Remember the old bumper sticker? “I’ll give up my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers” You might also check into the so-called Federal lands and Revolutionary War Reinactors clauses of the current budget. IT has had the contents stripped out by Holder–and instead, has had VERY restrictive clauses put in! In other words–it has been voted on with one set of contents–now it suddenly has another! AND this can’t be filibustered, I’m told! It no longer asserts the rights of people to carry guns on Federal property–nor the rights of Re-inactors to carry their old weapons; NOW it makes it illegal at all times! Sounds like a plan, doesn’t it??
      PLEASE demand that SCOTUS actually HEAR some of the many lawsuits about his “natural-born citizen” status–he is HIDING that he is a usurper; and we CAN get him out and stop this down-ward slide!!

        You hit the nail on the head. I applaud you for stating fact.

        If they haven’t erased the information you might also check:
        Clinton, Castro, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, both Bushes and lots of other top officials are high in the Mason society. I can find that to tie them all together.

        Castro, Lenin, Stalin and Mussolini could not nor were Masons. To be a Mason, you must believe in a Supreme Being (e.g., God by any other name). The above named do/did not.
        Get your facts straight — Now, here are some names that were Masons: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford. There were other Presidents who were Masons as well, I figured this might be enough to start this discussion rolling. Here are some other notables who were/are Masons in the US: “Buzz” Aldrin (astronaut); Stephen F. Austin (father of TX); Omar Bradley (US Gen. WWII); Joshua Chamberlain (US Army – Gen. American Civil War & Gov. of Maine); Winston Churchill (OK – not US, but influential during WWII, eh?); Henry Clay (congressman); Nat King Cole; Samuel Colt; David Crockett; Cecil B. DeMille; Thomas Dewey (he was supposed to have beat Truman for the Presidency); Everitt Dirkson; Duke Ellington; Henry Ford; Nathan Bedford Forrest (who later resigned from the lodge due to the bad name the KKK had started to receive – he also resigned from and demanded the total disbanding of the KKK – guess that didn’t happen); John Glenn; J. Edgar Hoover — want me? Just ask!
        There is no mention of either of the Bushes in the Mason register. And I can totally assure you, Barack Hussein Obama is not, nor ever will be a Mason, but he is a Muslim, a minor fact he lied about during the presidential campaign.

      Dear Liberal:

      I can not believe you called the Bomber a fluff bunny. I hope you realize; you just insulted every patrotic fluff bunny, in the United States. Way to go.

      Right on. I couldn’t have said it any better, except perhaps with some punctuation.

    • Bob

      I agree, but I am still confused about the piracy issue; how can four to six people in a fishing boat hold an ocean going frieghter with twenty five to thirty crew members hostage???

      Seems to me the ocean going vehicle could have made a left or right turn and made the problem disappear???

      I agree with the “something seriously wrong in the White House….” Bob

      Has anyone dared to mention the “T” Word? “T” is for treason!

      Pirates? For those who have not come across this bit of history: T. Jefferson had the same problem. It was on the Barbary Coast. So, what did he do? He purchased a KORAN in order to better understand the pirates, their religion and any other insight he may gain by reading it to KNOW HIS ENEMY. Now here we are in present time with the functionally comatose praising Jefferson for his diverse choices of religious literature to provide him with spiritual fulfillment or some such pelosi (new word for BS). It came up when Keith Ellison, a Muslim, was elected as a representative (?) in Minnisota and took the oath to our blessed constitution on that same Koran, oh how touchy feely can we get? It was all distorted by media and most continue to believe T. Jefferson chose the Koran as a spiritual guide along with other “holy” literature. NOT. The pirates are Muslims and I believe, like O’s family, they are Sunni. hmmmmmm. Where is it this fraud wants to fight? Afgh? Shiah resistance. Al Queda? Sunni. Leave them alone! Taliban? Are they Sunni or Shiah? Shiah I am guessing. The O is well, never mind, my hypothesis could get me a really bad headache. Sunnis are the majority. Iran is majority, by a lot – Shiah. This is where the Shiah have the power that the Sunni can not take over. Note: He kisses Ach! My dinners bad ass. Iran responds knowingly. Unthreatened by him. He bowed to the SUNNI king. Hmm, now I am stepping out on a limb. Leathernecks? Pirates (Muslims) were beheading them even then. The Koran is diametrically opposed to the principles of our constitution. You might look up taquiya(spelling unsure). Many try to use verses in the Koran and Hadith (?) out of context to dispute this but it is so.
