The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

Those of us who believe in the literal meaning of the 2nd Amendment, have a right to be rejoicing!

Opponents who have put up road block after road block against honest citizens wishing to exercise their right to protect themselves and their families, should be frightened, very frightened. The U.S. Supreme Court started to hear oral arguments on the Washngton D.C. ban against citizens having the right to own a handgun. Big Brother is of the opinion that citizens are too stupid to know how to carry a handgun in a safe manner. For more than thirty years, these despots have been depriving D.C. residents of their Constitutional Rights. But, It looks like that is about to change.

A complete imbecil could read the 2nd Amendment and come away with the understanding that says, "Law Abiding Citizens Have The Right To Bear Arms." Only arrogant, controlling socialists would say otherwise. The case that the high court is hearing is that of D.C. v Heller. Dick Heller, a security guard, brought the suit against D.C. An Appeals Court said that Heller was right, that the 2nd Amendment gives him the right to "Bear Arms." Instead of going along with the ruling of the Appeals Court, the egoist Mayor of D.C. decided to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. Now, the court appears to be in total agreement with Mr. Heller. To demonstrate the lunacy of City Officials in D.C., these jack-booted tyrants not only ban handguns to homeowners, but say if they own rifles or shotguns, said firearms "Must Be Disassembled And Unloaded." To say that these fascists are on the side of criminals would be a "Major Understatement."

The "Majority Of The Justices," and this includes "Key Swing Voter, Justice Anthony Kennedy," said although the 2nd Amendment talks about a "Well Regulated Militia, It Does Not Preclude The Average Citizen From Owning A Handgun." Staunch 2nd Amendment supporter, Justice Antonin Scalia observed, "The Two Clauses Go Together Beautifully."

Former U.S. Solicitor General Walter Dellinger argued in an illogical fashion for the Nation's Capitol. Dellinger said the 2nd Amendment spoke of a "Collective Right." Furthermore, Dellinger said the District of Columbia was well within its rights to ban handgun ownership. Commenting on the Appeals Court rulling which went against the Capitol, Dellinger said:

 "The court below has an absolutist standard that cannot be sustained. That doesn't suport the security of a free state"

This knucklehead makes a serious mistake in his flawed argument. What is the state composed of? The state is composed of, "We The People, Mr. Dellinger." And the 2nd Amendment says, "We The People have A Right To Bear Arms." You have to know that this guy knows that he is fighting a losing battle. He is in this for "The Big Bucks, And A Chance To Get His Name In The News." He can not be that damn stupid, regarding the actual meaning of the 2nd Amendment!

Nevertheless, Dellinger threw up a smoke screen when he told the Justices that the District "Allowed an exception for individuals to defend themselves." The Justice weren't falling for this obvious lie. Chief Justice John Roberts asked, "What is resonable about a total ban on possession?" Dellinger apparently became taciturn!

Heller's lawyer, Alan Gura said this was the point that he was trying to drive home to the Justices:

"As a group of military lawyers had argued in an amicus brief, because it limited individuals' ability to learn how to use handguns-a key aid in being prepared for military service. Self defense is at the heart of the Second Amendment"

Liberal Justice, Stephen Breyer trying to find a weasel way out for anti-gunners said it was possibly to say that an individual had a right to bear arms, but at the same time the court could keep in place, D.C's draconian gun laws. Breyer said if if the 2nd Amendment said an individual had the right to bear arms, "Does that mean it's unreasonable for a city with that high a crime rate to say, "No handguns here?"

Ah, liberals. The wiring in their frontal lobes are twisted. The argument that Breyer puts forth doesn't make any sense. He knows that the Constitution is on our side. What this weasel is trying to do is compromise. I say, "There Is No Compromising With Our God Given Rights." By the way, Breyer shows that he hasn't read up on guns and their deterrent to crime. It is for certain, he hasn't read Dr. John Lott's book, "More Guns Less Crime." D.C. has a high crime rate because criminals know that people like Breyer have tied the hands of law abiding citizens, thus preventing them from protecting themselves. Breyer is proof positive that we should have a set point where Supreme Court Justices are forced to resign. The man is simply out of touch with reality!

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is another jurist who is in the Land of Oz. She wondered what would be so wrong, if the court took a "Resonable Approach To This Debate." In other words, give citizens the right to bears arms, but allow D.C. to keep it's restrictive gun laws on the books. I can answer that in one word, "Totalitarianism."

If you look back at history, people like Hitler, Mussolini, and Pol Pot came into power by taking guns away from its citizens. Once citizens are stripped of their right to defend themselves, there is nothing that stands in the way of dictators from moving in an imposing whatever laws they desire. You can't fight an armed military, "With Rocks."

The very arrogant Mayor of Washington, D.C., Adrian Fenty is also delusional. How he figured the Supreme Court would rule in his city's favor is beyond me. The writings of the founders is replete with point after point as to what they meant in their wording of the 2nd Amendment:

*Thomas Jefferson-No Freeman shall ever be disbarred from the use of arms

*John Adams-Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private

self-defense

*James Madison-Arms discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer

in awe and preserve order in the world as well as property

The United States Supreme Court knows what it has to do. And there is "No Compromising With The Anti-gun Zealots." I have waited for this day for more years than I can count.

You wanted this fight Mr. Fenty. Now, you are about to get your "Nose Bloodied!"

A ruling from the Supreme Court is expected sometime in June!
