Ohh… the wailing and gnashing of teeth, the wetting of undergarments, the histrionics and the cries of impending doom –and that’s just in the NY Times editorial room!
The Supremes (no, not the Dianna Ross Supremes) but those God-like black-robed bastions of all that is good, perched in their chairs on high, not only ruled that I am allowed to own a firearm, but that the state can not take it from my cold, dead fingers. Except, of course, if I can be proven to be as brain dead as the typical Bob Herbert column. No, he should not be is allowed to have a gun or (now that I think about it) even a lap-top.
The arguments liberals make against the second amendment are as predictable as the many incoherencies they spew whenever they advocate for any of their illogical policies. They claim that if we just outlawed all guns, then people would stop shooting each other. They fear for the children, don’t ya know. That actually makes sense to liberals. It also makes sense to them when they claim that a law that mandates an increase in fuel economy will, somehow magically make it so. If they think a 30 m.p.g. law helps the effort, then why not just make it 50 m.p.g.?
How about just making a law that prohibits killing people? Why not give everyone a raise by increasing their pay by two bucks an hour? Hey, how about we ban illegal drugs? By God that should do it! Why don’t conservatives ever come up with such wisdom? I digress. Forgive me.
Here’s a thought. How about when you left wingers want to change the law of the land; you do it the way it was first prescribed. You write or otherwise communicate with the lawmakers and ask them to draft whatever change you desire. Then they all get to vote on the proposal and then the President gets to chime in with a signature or a veto. And amazingly, it becomes a law!
I have had enough of this searching for a sympathetic judicial hack who imposes his singular opinion upon the nation. You people claim to fear tyrannies? Yet, you embrace and encourage the most dangerous tyranny we have ever faced in this country; a judicial tyranny.
A pompous lawyer, given ultimate authority on almost all aspects my life is far more dangerous to a free society than a rational man trying to protect his family from predators by the ownership of a legal firearm ever will be.
I just don't see why they can't see.
