Ready... Aim... Aw, fuck!Score one more for the gun nuts. Grasping at a Constitutional amendment more than 200 years old and riding on the coattails of a gun nut in Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court overturned a Washington, D.C., law banning the sale of handguns and assault rifles in the district, with the score 5-4.
Now that the trigger-heads got that one overruled, court papers are being filed in Chicago to overturn it's own handgun/assault rifle law. How did we celebrate in Chicago? With nine shootings in the city overnight. Beautiful.
The NRAers out there can come out and say this is why they need handguns. Really? Are you out there policing the streets and preventing the innocent bystanders--mostly kids--being caught in the crossfire? Nope. You're probably barricading your tiny-penis self in your basement with your gun collection, just waiting for the militia to be formed.
Guns are final. When someone gets into an altercation with someone and tempers flare out of control, a gun does not allow for cooler heads to prevail--it provides a cooler body to be tagged and bagged. What I fail to understand is just how influential gun lobbyists are with politicians and why regular Americans don't take a stand against these nimrods.
Sure, their high-priced attorneys and paid spokespeople are going to spin this as being an infringement on their Constitutional rights, but c'mon, people! The Constitution is one of the most outdated documents in the world. Even the smallest nonprofit organizations review their bylaws every one to two years and make adjustments for the times. When the Constitution was written, the right to bear arms was there because we were still a nation in its infancy and one pretty regularly under attack and without organized police patrols.
The most recent attacks on our homeland--911 and the oil lords regular rapings--couldn't have been prevented with handguns, and I am pretty certain we have police in just about every jurisdiction, even after Bush bankrupted all the states in 2001, forcing many police forces to be trimmed back. So, what's the militia for? Hm? Thought so.
As Chicago Mayor Richard Daley noted in a press briefing yesterday, isn't it interesting that you can't bring a gun into an airport, public building, on a bus, etc., but you can walk around the streets with one. For what? I guess as Homer would say, "Gotta shoot something."
So the next time we have a Columbine or Virgina Tech--those guns were obtained legally--remember our Supreme Court and the gun lobbyists who have bent over backwards to dishevel our nation and put us in harm's way.
In closing. Since Heston's hands are pretty much cold and dead, can I have his gun now? I may need it.
Just so you know, the following show legally purchased handguns and assault weapons and their aftermath. Ah, the Second Amendment....
