I decided to see what else the Federalist Blog had to say about the Second Amendment and came up with this. I know you like to try and get me to think that I am the only person who holds these opinions, but I hate to break it to you. Take it away, P.A. Madison! [...]

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.–James Madison It cannot be presumed that any clause in the constitution is intended to be without effect;–Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803). I was [...]

Hey, fuck you clowns with your “unorganised militia” bullshit. That’s no more than saying that you have a fucking draft card, dickheads, and means you have fuck all rights. Get your fucking arses down there and enroll in the Article I, Section 8, Clause 16 militia and get ready for some marching up and down [...]

Let’s start with the Articles of Confederation, which were the United States’ first constitutional document. It was drafted in 1776-77 and became the working constitution, although it was not formally ratified until 1781. The Articles authorised the Continental Congress in its supervision of the American Revolution, its diplomacy with Europe, and its handling of territorial [...]

Yeah, if that’s true, why are you so scared of Goodwin Liu? The obstructionists in the US Senate are fucking around with his appointment because Godwin Liu appears to agree with me that the Second Amendment applies to those well-regulated militias: The Supreme Court has seen fit to rein in some of the most activist [...]

The nice thing is that it is short and concise, but it doesn’t mention overthrowing the government, or private uses. Just the evil of standing armies and military uses: House of Representatives, Amendments to the Constitution, 17, 20 Aug. 1789, Annals 1:749–52, 766–67 [17 Aug.] The House again resolved itself into a committee, Mr. Boudinot [...]

I usually cite to The Address and Reasons of Dissent of the Minority of the Convention of Pennsylvania to their Constituents, December 12, 1787 when I want to demonstrate “personal right” language being used in the debate over the “right to arms”. That is this text: 7. That the people have a right to bear [...]

I want to say that I fully support James A. D’Cruz’s Second Amendment rights, I understand he is an 18 year old male who was in JROTC and he should be able to directly enlist in the Texas National Guard, which is the Article I, Section 8, clauses 15 & 16 Militia, if he is [...]

This came from an experiement I did to see if I received different results from the google search “Second Amendment standing armies” performed outside the USA. It came as no surprise that the non-US results provided more scholarly articles than the gun right related results one received in the US. Of course, Nothing I haven’t [...]

I was over at Common Gunsense and saw that Sean was upset that MSNBC’s  Dylan Ratigan & Ted Rall were discussing “armed revolt”. Wait a minute, isn’t that what the “pro-gun” crowd runs around saying? There is a serious problem with the insurrection theory of the Second Amendment and that is who defines tyranny?  In [...]

Yep, she didn’t post the entire version of this: although I have edited this: I have read the entire Miller decision. First off, the quotes are not mine, but Supreme Court Justices, which Anon keeps neglecting to mention. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that he knows the law better than two of the [...]

you’d say the race was fixed. On the other hand, I’m rather amazed at the people who are praising the Heller-McDonald decisions. For example, The Brady Organisation which will happily point out that the decision doesn’t preclude reasonable regulations. In fact, the Second Amendment protects a civic right, that is it is supposed to ensure [...]

The Cato Institute from coming out with this piece: Gun Control Advocates Should Applaud the Supreme Court with the words: This ruling does not necessarily invalidate all gun control laws, but it will likely mean the demise of outright bans and restrict significantly the ability of states and cities to impose other kinds of controls. [...]

This might help the clueless. Of course, the clueless can’t think. I am not sure why I am providing this because the person in question is as thick as pigshit. In fact, the person in question shovels pigshit (or some other animal’s shit) for a living. Anyway. Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143 (1972) 1972, [...]

The Boomtown Rats came out with the Song “I don’t like Mondays” back in 1979 as a reaction to the mass shooting perpetrated by Brenda Spencer’s at the Grover Cleveland Elementary School. I mentioned this in a previous post When will the US wise up? after the Virginia Tech Shootings in 2007. It’s been over 31 [...]
