- Do you, for even one second believe, that as long as the majority of people in this country are Liberals%u2026 - Posted by aardbear at 02:01 PM : Jul 01, 2008
I do not believe that the majority of the people in this country are liberals. While the liberals may be some of the loudest, they are not the majority. - Reply to this comment
- The FBI is responsible for enforcing the laws of the United States.
The Supreme Court is responsible for interpreting laws, and determining if they are consistent with the Constitution.
In a long awaited landmark decision, the Supreme Court has upheld the 2nd Amendment as it was originally written and intended, that The People have an individual right to keep and bear arms. This right existed prior to the Constitution. It was not granted by the 2nd Amendment. It is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment.
As clearly stated in the majority opinion, it is not the prerogative of the Supreme Court to declare the 2nd Amendment extinct. To do so would be an act of judicial activism. Their duty was, and is, to interpret the meaning of the Constitution, as it was written, in the context of when it was written.
To all those who are opposed to the court%u2019s decision, I would first urge you to read the decision in its entirety. It really is interesting. If, after having read and comprehending the decision, you are still opposed to the 2nd Amendment, you are welcome to exercise your constitutional right to petition for a new constitutional amendment.
Neither the Supreme Court nor the NRA or anyone else endorses or in any way promotes the unlawful possession or misuse of guns. To suggest otherwise is dishonest and irresponsible. What needs to be controlled in this country is criminal behavior, not the lawful exercise of our constitutional rights. - Reply to this comment

Yes, then we can all sit back and fold our arms while Obama fixes everything. Personally, I can''t wait for the social programs for people on lower income. I will retire, and let the government take care of me. - Reply to this comment
- Since some people want to outlaw guns so that people can''t go around shooting other people, then it follows that we should ban all potential weapons.
We should also ban baseball bats, sticks, rocks, lead pipes, candlesticks, rolling pins, frying pans, bathtubs, swimming pools, vehicles, hat pins, wire of any kind, bare hands, bare feet, chairs, lamps, plastic bags, pillows, duck tape, ropes, poisons of all kinds including cleaning agents, gasoline, matches, battery acid, glass, razors, knives, and probably a lot of things I haven''t thougt up this morning.
Thugs who want to terrorize people for power and control will find other ways when they no longer have the use of guns. - Reply to this comment
