My thoughts are that Scalia will probably leave one way or the other during the next four years. Really any justice who is moderate to conservative KB the issue who leaves will be replaced with someone with an agenda.

I believe I have seen an interview with Scalia where he made clear he wouldn't leave the court during democratic president. I will try to google it up.
 
[/B] What happened in Conn is terrable, but there may be some history that the school district may have provoked this kid into these violent acts by having a confrontation with him a day or so earlier. Conn has one of the toughest gun laws in the country and their system failed. No kidding. I'm, surprised their irrational citizens do not want to burn the mentall ill at the stake--they did that hundreds of years ago, and that failed to eradicate mental illness. We live in dangerous political times.
I read that he had an argument with four people the day before and three of them were killed.
And it looks to me like the present laws worked. He tried to buy a gun a couple days before and once he found out there would be a 14 day waiting period he left. To have the weapons he did required him to break several laws. Like being underage to posses a firearm, being underage to posses ammo, killing his mother to get the weapons, etc. Seems to me he broke a bunch of laws, proving once again that criminals don't obey laws.
 
Just remember the one main purpose of the second amendment is to protect the people from a tyrannical government. When we loose the right to have firearms sufficient enough to combat a tyrannical government the second amendment is lost! We are at that line! We all know that more laws will mean nothing to the mentally ill or the criminal as it has been proven many times that they don't obey laws. In reality it is just another step in becoming a socialist nation. Get ready to raise your right arm in compliance!
 
She said on the news program that they have been working on the ban for about a year so it was in the works before all of this happened. So they are not doing this because of the kids, just using them to bring this out after the election!

She and her gun grabber buddies where waiting for the opportunity to capitalize on a tragedy before presenting this bill. Now they also have the added bonus of emotion to capitalize on. Boy are they going to feel all warm and fuzzy when they push this through.
 
J hate to sound or feel defeated, but I'm afraid all this discussion is moot. The next Supreme Court appointment, which is sure to happen during Obamas second term will be the death knell for most of our 2A rights as we know them today.

I would be happy if someone here could show me where I'm wrong on this.

because we have a filibuster-proof minority on our side. (supposedly).

The limit of the SC is to interpret laws already passed which they HAVE NOT recently ruled upon. It would be unheard of for a SC majority to HEAR, much less decide differently on Heller or MacDonald.
 
Just a thought. The dems will make a deal with the repubs to stop pushing fast & furious and Benghazi for know new gun laws. Like a said it was just a thought I don't think this would ever happen because then somebody would half to take responsibility for Benghazi and fast & furious. God forbid we take responsibility for our actions! I do believe something will be pushed through most likely behind closed doors while we are all sleeping.
 
That phrase was written 200+ years ago, and should not be taken by norms of the modern language or reality. Regulation in this context is believed to be "discipline" or "standardization". I personally like the standardization version. Basically during the Revolutionary War citizens were fighting with whatever arms they had (large variety of calibers), which was a logistical nightmare for supplying munitions.

Bingo. Exactly right.
Same thing applies to the commerce clause. To regulate meant to "make regular". The founding fathers worried about states not allowing free flow of commerce between the states.

Sadly, they will get what they want and probably more than they dreamed. No point in debating this one, the last Presidential election showed that we have totally lost the culture war and all that is left is the quick slide into Socialist gutter nation.
At least they won't ban pvc pipe anytime soon.

Technically SC has a history of overruling their decisions. Please look at this research :

But Heller and McDonald is a tough one to rule against - two cases consistent one with another. Hell would have to freeze first.
 
Obama will do things under the terrorist laws and go around Congress. You will be shocked at what he can do. Last call for AR15's on the Christmas list. History of AR's and AK's is being written now. Get ready for it.
Went to gun Portland show this weekend and according to one dealer, something like, one out of four people buys but at this gun show everyone was buying. He was very happy. I told my son to take it all in because it may be his last gun show.
I have a feeling we gun owners are naive about what is coming down the pipeline.
