Agreed... like Dennis Miller said... I've got an idea for a registered sex offender location program... it's call death and burial... any time you want to know where they are... go to the grave yard... Yep... still here!

As far as the 2nd Amendment goes... with out it, none of the rest are guaranteed.

Also for anyone who is interested here is a link to a complete literary analysis of the text of the 2nd Amendment, it's by a leading scholar of the American use of the English language and the author of the book American Usage & Style, a Consensus.

People with guns have a chance to defend themselves against the stinking low-life criminals and rapists that have absolutley no regard for human life. I think if is a fantastic ruling.

I think your right, I think in many ways the ruling is more about not taking away the individuals right to defend himself and his family.

Additionally when you look at the way our system is spinning the power away from the individual we can not forget that the 2nd was also put in place to deter a tyrannical government.

All together a good thing I think

Too deep for a Friday, and too political for this site.

Here's some real world experience concerning the right to have guns. I was a prosecutor in Florida shortly after they instituted their "Right to Carry" law back in the early 1990's.

After the law went into effect, the gun-related crimes went down measurably. And in the several years that I prosecuted cases down there, I only had one case involving a person with a carry permit committing a crime with his gun...and guess who it was? It was a local lawyer who got drunk in a bar and started flashing his 44 Magnum to everybody.

Unfortunately the "powers that be" wouldn't let me give him jail time and he got a pretrial diversion with substance abuse counseling.

I am optimistic gun violence and overall crime drop will drop like a rock in DC.
