Wednesday, March 19th - Hero: SCOTUS

Huh? I know, I know. SCOTUS is the Supreme Court of the United States. They are hero's today for upholding the 2nd Amendment.

The case was brought by a Security Guard in Washington DC. He is fighting for his right to possess a handgun. You see, in the District of Columbia it is illegal for ANYONE to possess/own a handgun. The courts there passed the law many moons ago in order to fight the high-crime rate. Yes, I am fighting to keep a straight face right now, too! These idiots thought that by making it illegal for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves with guns it would actually lower the crime rate.

Anyone want to guess what happened? The crime rate has nearly DOUBLED since then, and DC has one of the highest MURDER rates in the US of A.

So, finally, someone had the gumption to bring a case to court and force the Supreme Court to interpret the 2nd Amendment, which says in part:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"

Luckily for 'the people' our current Chief Justice, John Roberts, sees the absurdity of stripping 'the people' of their right to self-defense.

Lord knows, there are lots of liberal judges and lawyers out there ready to sue the crap out of us when we do defend ourselves. But I, for one, don't care. I'd much rather take on a stupid lawsuit than end up shot, raped, stabbed, or dead because I couldn't shoot the stupid losers that broke into MY HOME...

Anyway, score one for 'the People' and hooray for the SCOTUS!

Peace, Love, and GOD,
Tracy
