The reprobate philistines lose this round.
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense in their homes, the justices’ first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history.
ADVERTISEMENTThe court’s 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia’s 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision went further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms restrictions intact.
The court had not conclusively interpreted the Second Amendment since its ratification in 1791. The amendment reads: “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.”
damn skippy.
It’s nice knowing that Americans can rally around the things that are really important in this life. Important in my humble opinion, that is.
So I jumped on the bandwagon and signed up for twitter awhile ago. View my profile. I’ve found no one of interest to actually follow, until I just read Steve’s post that he has it. So it could possibly be more interesting. I guess not following anyone, is basically myspace with no friends. Its lame.
So if anyone else out there has a twitter account, feel free to follow me, as I look to follow you. ![]()
Well, I was wondering what the outcome was of the marine who tossed the puppy off the cliff. But he was booted from the USMC, and the camera man faced “non-judicial” punishment.
I guess this doesn’t really surprise me… but it does. The Valtrex commercials always show the people hang gliding, rock climbing, and doing other outside activities. Maybe this means New Yorkers will be able to get out of the city more often.
JJ’s son in Kindergarten recently earned himself his first slingshot. Sitting on the couch at JJ’s house, I over heard this conversation.
JJ - If you kill anything with that slingshot, you’re going to have to eat it.
Jacob *with concerned look* - Dad… if I accidentally kill you with my slingshot, will I have to eat you?
This actually happened back in May, but its always a good reminder to NOT user your 44 Magnum for a back scratcher. Especially after you’ve been drinking beer all night.
I could be wrong, but my gut tells me otherwise.
A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself.
Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.
“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off.”
Mr. Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,” Lt. Dean said.
Mr. Espinal was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries. Source.
On the upside, his itchy spot was completely gone!
This is just annoying. I love how “teachers and administration” don’t even know their own country’s history. I’m a firm believer that the Constitution died with the south.
