It appears that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear a case concerning the 2nd. ammendment. Washington D.C. had banned certain firearms within their district and homeowners had to keep long guns under lock and key or taken apart where they could not be used in a emergency for self defense.
The D.C. district court ruled that the Washington D.C. law on guns were in violation of a persons rights "to keep and bear arms" and stated they were of the opinion that these rights were for "Individual" rights, not a state militia as the anti gunners and a lot of Democrats claim.
Coming at a time as now, this can be a very important decision by the court if it upholds the decision made by the district court. I do not care what Dude believes, a congress controlled by Democrats and a Democrat president on top of that is the mix that is needed for numerous anti gun laws to be passed in the next 4 years. If the Court upholds the decision of the district court, this can throw a big monkey wrench into the wheels of the anti-gunners that are hoping to pass new gun laws under a Democrat president that will be very anti gun.
There was talk that the Supreme court would not hear the case, but I think they were persuaded by GOP officials to hear the case so the district court decision would be binding for the intire nation instead of just the D.C. area.
Dude as much as you hate Bush, just be glad that some of his court appointees will be hearing that case instead of a majority of liberal Democrate appointees. Your gun rights are hanging in the balance along with the rest of us. The NRA will be submitting briefs as a friend of the court and will be trying to get a decision that will favor our rights to keep and bear firearms.
This will be a hotly contested case and the anti-gunners will be pouring money into their lawyer coffers to defeat the district court decision. Now is the time to kick a little extra money to the NRA to help fight for our firearm rights and it will help our hunting rights by us not losing the right to have firearms. I will be sending donations to the NRA. they were the one that brought the original complaint against the Dist. of Washington D.C. and fought it to the district court and won a favorable decision that will now be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
