His Phoenix

The US Supreme Court decided yesterday that the Second Amendment to the US Constitution grants individuals the right to “keep and bear arms.” The thing that I like about this is that all of the people that want to reinterpret the Second Amendment are the same people that won’t tolerate any reinterpretation of the First and Third thru Tenth Amendments, aka “The Bill of Rights.”

I don’t get it, people. The Bill of Rights is one of the main things that keep the federal government out of our business. I don’t know about you, but I definitely do NOT want Hilary Rodham (Whitewater) Clinton or Barack (I refuse to show my country’s colors) Obama or any politician of any stripe telling me my business in my home. Sorry, but our laws are based on British Common Law, and the fundamental principle there is, “A man’s home is his castle.”

If they can take the right to keep and bear arms away, then what’s next? Hmmmmm, how about the right to privacy? There goes abortion. Free speech and press? Then we have government propaganda machines. Hmmmm, I wonder if the people that supported so-called “gun control” realized that if they take away the Second Amendment then floggings and torture are on the horizon. After all, the Eighth Amendment states “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” There goes the entire philosophy that prison is designed to “rehabilitate” criminals and we go back to punishing them.

I love it when I can honestly say that the Justices got it right (in my opinion, of course), because then I can point out that the numbers that those that support restricting or banning firearms are completely incorrect. They like to say that if guns are banned, nobody will have them. How do they explain that EVERY SINGLE STATE that has passed right to carry and concealed carry laws have shown a drop (you know, a LOWERING) of crimes, gun or otherwise? Did they not listen when criminals convicted of gun crimes clearly stated that the only thing that they feared was an armed victim?

So, now that the Washington D.C gun ban has been ruled to be unconstitutional, I must say that the gun-control fanatics have got to reevaluate their strategies and figure out how they are going to take mine away from me. I hope that they don’t send the police, because I’d hate to shoot a cop doing his job when the real enemies are the ones trying to limit MY civil liberties.
