“to make it possible for law-abiding residents to own a gun”??

The Constitution says “shall not be infringed”, not “shall be made possible for some people with many restrictions, permits, taxes and delays”.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED means that The People have a Right that Government cannot interfere with, in any way, with the reasonable exception that applies to all Rights – if you abuse it you lose it.

There are two (2) scenarios to understand when dealing with the why and how of gun regulations . First , regulation / control over that which is “Public”, which they “claim” is their perogative to have authority over for protecting the rights of others ; and second , “Judicious” use of force . The force used must not “exceed” that absolutely necessary to negate an opposing force , given reasonable interpretation of that opposing force ie. deadly threat or not , because theft does’nt warrant death , hence only when your life is threatened , or others you’re protecting , justifies a fatal shooting ( their gun control reasoning , not mine because I include “property” substantial enough to cause serious / severe hardship as defensible also ) ; Now , as regards what is “Public” area I suggest a reading in “Black’s” Law dictionary for the meaning of the various usages of the word “Public” . Note how it referrences five (5) subtle distinctions on it’s usage . 1) Public ( Gov’t ) places / bldgs / activities / personnel ( exclusive use and control over ) , 2) Quasi-Gov’t “private” entites serving as an “Agent” / “Agency” of Gov’t ( Utility Corps , Contractors , Independent “Assets” , entities that do the “work” of the Gov’t as a non “Official” entity / in a non “Official” capacity , 3) Public ( non Gov’t ) places activities , Bldgs , Structures provided for use by / with public funds ( fewer issues and less control ) , 4) Private places , entities , activities , structures provided / open to the general public for use , such as Commercial Bldgs ( even less control and even fewer issues to control ) , 5) the Public in general ( all the people as a whole / Society ) and places held in common not controlled . Then there is “Private” Only places , property , structures , usage , control , according to the “Consent” of the Owner or his agent . Now reread the various Gov’t regulations with these variations in mind , Note the graduating levels of “Control” by Gov’t over these (5) five areas of what is “Public” . They reduce to no control at the “Private” level , with the exception of “exigent” circumstance ( “First hand witness” , by Law enforcement , of a Crime / Criminal activity upon or thereafter leading onto “Private” property , or “Warrant” , based on Sworn testimony of Probable cause ) . Notice that there are fewer issues to control / be controlled and less control over issues as you progress away from Gov’t on throught to “Private” . The learning / understanding of these subtleties / their distinctions goes a long way toward understanding the correct relationship of Lawfully correct interpretation and application of the law . I believe that most of the times the Law is incorrectly applied / interpreted is because of the misunderstandings of these subtle shades of Jurisdiction / Authority . Government often “Overreaches” its “Jurisdiction” and “Exceedes” its “Authority” in its “services” to the “Public” . In general it has Authority / Force from the most to the least in this order when providing its “services” to the “Public” ; the most in regard to Gov’t ( Bldgs , places , activities etc. ) , then Quasi-Gov’t “private” entities serving as “Agents” / “Agencies” of the gov’t , then “Public” ( non Gov’t ) places , activities , structures , Bldgs , etc. provided for use by / with public funds , then “Public” ( open to the public ) places provided by the “Private” sector , then “Public” places , activities , issues , structures in general as a whole ( Society ) , and finally the least control over “Private” property / use / places / activities . Our Society , and it’s Constitutional “Services” , is based on Subtleties necessary when trying to address all the issues / concerns of a Civilization whose “Social Compact” is based on a Hybrid Construct of the Highest and Best Ideals learned / gleaned from history and its Greatest thinkers / philosophies in promoting and perpetuating the most Freedom and Liberty in the World . We must learn of these so we can stand against corruptions of our Freedom and Liberties .

It’s more like the, “law-abiding citizens” have been sitting on their complacent, pompous and apathetic butts and not yanking their elected elitists out of office that is causing their demise.

oblama just wants to make damm sure that his gestapo are the only ones that have a lawfull right to protect and defend… But they do not protect a damm thing and they sure cannot defend either ( well maybe after the fact )… When someone pulls a gun on me I’m not going to call 911 until after he is dead.

I, too, live in California. Luckily, I live in one of the rural counties where it is still possible to obtain a concealed weapons permit. Of course, the legislature is controlled by the big city democrats and they keep trying to take our guns away. And if they can’t take our guns away, they keep making it more difficult to buy ammunition.

If Libtard PC out of control in Canada! It will happen here in the US if the Libs get their way!

The high court has ruled period, they can make it dificult in some states, however, vacation in gun friendly states and buy whatyou will. F-em!!

Whoever posted the photo knows very little about guns. A 50 cal pistol with a bunch of 9mm bullets? Anyways I’m voting for Ron Paul for president, and so should anyone else who cares about the 2nd Amendment, the economy, foreign policy, etc…

This isn’t a surprise. The politicians don’t like to be told that they are wrong and the laws they are passing are illegal. So if some court – even if it is the SCOTUS – tells them they can’t do something, they will change it slightly to get the same result with the idea that sooner or later the citizens will either give up or run out of money to take it to court. They don’t have to worry about that as they are using your money in the first place.

The opening line of the Preamble of the Constitution begins with “We the people—”
There is also an “Equil Protection clause”.Both of wich are ignored as backup or our Second Ammendment RIGHT to Keep and Bare arms !
My Question is Who are THE People ? And where is the Equel Protection when a ordinary citizen is shot and killed in the commision of a crime; and the Criminal after being convicted of said crime only gets 25 to Life, with possability of parol; and if the same crime resolted in a police officer beingshot and killed the Mnditory Sentence is the DEATH Penalty.

I live in California, land of fruits and nuts. Open carry now illegal and getting a CCW almost impossible. I have made up my mind to carry loaded and concealed anyhow. If I had to shoot somebody, I’ve decide to make sure they’re dead and leave them where they drop. No calling police so they can prosecute me.

If these Federal “laws” are legal, why are they codified under “interstate commerce”?
The answer, of course, is that they are not legal. The Second Amendment is a Constitutional guarantee of a God-given right (reference the Declaration of Independence). That these are God-given rights, no government has the authority to regulate the right to keep and bear arms, except that authority be ursurped. While some citizens disagree, consider if and when the various levels of government regulates the press, the Church, and any assembly, habeas corpus, &c.

The “militia” argument will not stand, either; the “National Guard” is a 20th Century invention of the Federal Government…these are reserve Regulars, and not militia. Militia are assigned officers by the States, and come and go as they please, cannot be deployed over seas, &c. Militia are the entire people, not what the current system propagates. The Second Amendment was ratified in order to protect the Citizen from the dangers of a standing army in the hands of a tyrant or despotic government – it has nothing to do with “sporting purposes” (again, a 20th Century invention – pay it no mind, as it has no legal authority; the 1968 Gun Control Act could never stand in a truely Constitution-enforcing Court).

Have large fingers and mistakes happen when I try to type on a laptop computer . Therefore don’t try to redirect my remark to something else simply because of my trying to use a laptop and having problems with it

Made a tying mistake ………..(dostroy) actually is distroy

Who the heck do these local dolts writing rules and/or laws that do not comply to the U.S.A.orginal document………the one that all are sworn to uphold before they take office…..the one that is the backbone of our country………. the one that many have died to uphold……the one that should always be respected no matter what the year ………. the one that all who would like to dostroy this country try to discount as an old and not relavant to modern times document( these are the real dolts) ………………..the document is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA ‘s CONSTITUTION .
It is unreal that people that swear to uphold the beleives of their country and uphold then uphold believes of other countries. We have rights and the rights we have are in our Constitution. DON’T TREAD ON IT…….RESPECT IT…………

Arm yourself heavily and learn how to use them proficiently. You will need to protect yourself and your family in the near future. You cannot depend on law enforcement many are already beginning to side with the enemy and terrorists. Learn who they are and pass the information to those you can trust. Learn who the enemies of our constitution are. Learn who wants to take over our government. Learn who wants to change our laws to favor there beliefs. Remember, arm yourself heavily and learn how to use them proficiently. When you use a weapon life may change as you know it.

That’s about the stupidest advise I’ve ever heard. A baseball bat, get real dude. Do you think a baseball bat would have helped that 19 year-old mother and her 3 month old baby in OK against two 200LB+ males breaking into her house? Or the boy who killed one of three intruders to protect his 16 year sister? Here in OK we have the “Make my day law”. It protects homeowners who shoot and kill intruders and prevents them or their families from suing. Hollow points are made so that they don’t go through the intruder into the wall or anyone behind him. They stay inside him.
I’m a 61 year old woman, having been carjacked once, I now have my carry conceal and take it with me consistantly, especially at night. I also train in martial arts so even without my gun, I can take care of myself. I’d advise you to get a brain or try to use the one you should already have.

Someone who is an otherwise lawabiding citizen in D.C. needs to make a stand. You should not need to have to read through 22 pages of legalize to be able to protect yourself. Just get the gun without going through the big hoops and make them arrest you for exercising your rights. The Morans in charge of D.C. obviously need to be slapped down in court a few more times.

If you need a concealed carry permit for work safety, then get one. If you want it for home safety, don’t. Get a bat, seek refuge in your locked bedroom, call police, and call out to the intruder that you have called the police, have a gun, and if they enter your bedroom they will be shot. Although I am not a member, this is current advice from the NRA.

If you have a concealed carry permit, you are now open to increased legal liability. First, the alcohol percentage standards for DWI are lower for permit holders. A conviction is now easier. Second, if you shoot someone, even in the face of an obvious self defense situation, you are going to be sued by either the surviving criminal or his or her family.

Of What will they accuse you? If you have hollow point or anything other than factory made ammo (no re-loads) they are going to accuse you of intent as the ammo, they will argue, shows premeditation. If you used full metal jacket ammo out of a factory box and the round not only went through the intruder but also the wall of your home and struck an innocent bystander, then the possibility of a third party suing you now exists.

I repeat, if you need a concealed handgun permit for safety on the job, then qualify and obtain one. If you do not, get a bat.

Guns is the only strong hold of a free America.. Keep up the good work…

My wife as many other women are now doing, is planning on obtaining Concealed Carry this summer. She feels the world is getting more dangerous and she does not want to be a victum.

The issue of more gun control is never brought up by Obama as he knows that the issue would destroy him for re-election. There is even limited discussion on the gun runner Eric Holder who provided guns ( Fast & Furious ) to the cartels which have been used againest our American people. Lets face it !!!!!!! even if Obama knew nothing about it he still should have taken Holder out of office. Every time you hear of a shooting on along the Mexican border by the cartels, think of Holder being guilty of taking an American life. This is just like drugs, the provider is just as guilty as the person behind the gun !!!!!! We must clean house in Washington and have individuals in office who protect the people and let us protect ourselfs with the RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

Once again if the politicians get control, that is what it will take for anyone to buy a gun… Friggin lawyers and thier double talk and not a single one of them has ever shot a gun!!
