I’m reminded of 2 once popular slogans. They are, “I’ll give you my gun when you pry (or take) it from my cold, dead hands” and “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns”
These sum up how I feel about guns and the government trying to take mine away.
Criminals are the only ones who do evil with guns…….duh…..the ones who don’t obey the laws anyway. Do those who want to take our guns away think criminals will suddenly have a change of heart and give up their guns?
REGARDING:
“Only by the incorporation doctrine of liberal federal courts has it been applied (improperly) to the states.”
So you believe the application of Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment to include states is improper?
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
How do you figure it is improperly applied when it specifically states that is what it is doing?

and its misapplication in Montclair subdivision
Thank you for noticing, Roy. It was not accidental.
SW, your use of the term government and criminal in the same sentence is absolutely redundant. The threat of taking away guns by executive order would be illegal anyway, what does that make the man who uttered it?
Murder and drugs are illegal, how’s that working out? Actually so is a convicted felon with a gun; obviously that’s not working out.
As someone else once said, the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun!
@bam
what an ignorant statement! if someone breaks into your house i bet u wish u had a gun to protect yourself with! obviously u dont live in the real world because criminals will find a way to get their hands on whatever they want regardless of laws!
The Bill of Rights, as ratified, were specifically written to further restrict, and define those restrictions of, the [then] new federal government and reassert of the sovereignty of the states. Only by the incorporation doctrine of liberal federal courts has it been applied (improperly) to the states.
Either way, the president cannot make laws, i.e., executive orders; it violates the separation of powers; that is the job of the Congress.
The bottom line is the federal government cannot, legally, infringe on the 2nd amendment.
Hey @Bam,
How about a $1000 a post on any blog or forum or visit to church? It doesn’t limit the First Ammendment, right?
Devaughn was charged with felony possession of a weapon Sept 18. Why was he out of jail? It is my opinion that we need to get the weapon charges away from the state courts since they like to plea down cases and release the 2 time felons.
The federal penalty for a felon in possession of a firearm is up to 15 years in federal prison. If possession charges are filed as a federal offense I bet you these scumbags would be behind bars and not out on the streets involved in gang-related gun fights..
Same guy involved…..

Ulysses Samuel, Jr. and Aquarius Devaughn were both arrested and both charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
REGARDING:
“The states, on the other hand, can do whatever they want; pursuant to their respective constitutions.”
That would possibly be so if the Bill of Rights said, ’shall not be infringed by the Federal Government’ but instead it is a blanket statement in a Constitution limiting the powers of both Federal and State governments. Therefore, the wording promises the right to keep and bear arms is beyond the power of government to restrict. It won’t stop our President since he has mentioned issuing an Executive Order on the matter if Congress obeys the Constitution but that’s a whole ‘nother matter.
In fact, though, the extensions of rights to people under the Fourteenth Amendment would also extend the right to keep and bear arms even under lower governments just as it forbade local governments from establishing or restricting freedom of speech, religion, assembly.
David for lawful governments
(and people, preferably)
According to court records they are all convicted felons so they shouldn’t have had guns anyway. Those gun laws really worked, huh?
How nice of these fellas to have provided their photos to the police to have on file for any future searches!!
SW,
The states can’t “technically” take your guns either. State constitutions cannot take away God given rights that are spelled out in the US Constitution.
When the Govt starts taking away firearms, they BECOME the criminal.
The federal government ‘technically’ has no jurisdiction over firearms; ’shall not be infringed’. It hasn’t stopped them from doing it and no one has stopped them, either.
The states, on the other hand, can do whatever they want; pursuant to their respective constitutions.
Taking them away or limiting access to them (or the ammunition) can only be done by a government or a criminal.
You are dead wrong eeyore. There are people in our government in very high places whose goal is to ban civilian ownership of firearms. (Holder has stated it many times before becoming AG.) Their “reasonable restriction” arguments are merely a first step in the process. They will use incrementalism to chip away at the 2nd. Again, Holder has stated this before becoming AG. I know you will ask for links, but just use a little GoogleFu and you can find if for yourself.
If you can’t take their guns away, jack up the prices on ammo so they can’t afford to buy it. $1,000.00 a bullet sounds reasonable to me.
…uhmmmm, i dont think the “govt” wants to take your guns away…i think what they want to do is limit those questionable who want them…and to put the military style rifles and high capacity magazines those rifles, and some pistols, are known for…
Wow, its people like this that make the goverment want to take away, so I cant protect me and my own if something like THIS happens, people need to stop being ignorant cowards !
