Quote of the Day
Gun owners in staunchly anti-second amendment states have felt forgotten for too long. SCOTUS has restored our faith in the system that the little guy can still fight back in this great country. This case isn’t just about restoring our rights in Connecticut, it’s about ensuring that no other citizens will face similar infringements regardless of which state they call home.

I hope it works out that way. Some people have their doubts. And I get that.
But the courts, strong action from the executive branch, and determined community action eventually stopped the Democrats from socially acceptable lynching, separate water fountains, only sitting in the back of bus, suppressing voter, illegal mixed race marriages, and a multitude of other injustices.
A culture shift with support from the courts allowed homosexuals out of the closet and the right to marry.
It is now our turn to change the culture in a dramatic and nearly irreversible way.
With a specific constitutionally protected right enumerated in the Bill of Rights to back us up, why can’t we achieve our goals as well? I think we can and will. I think we are on the edge of a widespread collapse of the resistance to our destiny. I think wins in the “assault weapon” cases will break their will to continue.
I will admit, I have been surprised at how well we’ve done in the courts.
When Heller was being decided, I had a nasty feeling that the Supreme Court would split the baby. I expected them to say that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right, and then put so many restrictions on that right that it would become useless.
Even if they struck down the DC ordinance, I was expecting that the media would manage to turn the populace against the decision. After all, at the time, the incumbent Republican president was highly unpopular, and Obama was running to replace him.
In fact neither of those things happened. If I recall correctly, people were actually showing up at the Supreme Court building to party over the decision.
McDonald and Bruen have not been under attack to any degree, other than by the extreme left. Most Democrat candidates seem to think that taking the decisions on is a political loser.
