Supreme Court Gun Ruling Bad For Gun Owners: Not A Victory

Supreme Court Gun Ruling Bad For Gun Owners: Not A Victory

Thursday the U.S. Supreme Court released their opinion on the District of Columbia gun ban case. D.C. vs. Heller. Leaders of the National Rifle Association (NRA) praised the Supreme Court’s historic ruling overturning Washington D.C.’s ban on handguns and on self-defense in the home, in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller. Read the opinion (1 MB)
"This is a great moment in American history. It vindicates individual Americans all over this country who have always known that their freedom is worth protecting," declared NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. "Our founding fathers wrote and intended the Second Amendment to be an individual right. The Supreme Court has now acknowledged it. The Second Amendment as an individual right now becomes a real permanent part of American Constitutional law."
The NRA and all the mainstream media are putting up a big smoke screen so gun rights advocates will celebrate a great victory and go to sleep while Federal, State, and local governments pass restrictions and set even more stringent licensing requirements for gun owners.
The court ruled that the Second Amendment did guarantee an individual’s right to bear arms, but also went on to say that the government still has the right to control and regulate firearms. What happened to this is an inalienable right, which shall not be infringed.
Lee Rodgers from Rogue Government. Com said, "The mainstream press is hailing this as a victory for gun owners and a defeat for anti-American gun control advocates. Unfortunately, this is incredibly misleading spin by the mainstream press as the ruling essentially says that the government still has the authority to implement regulations to control who has access to firearms and who doesn’t. The Second Amendment specifically states that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, yet these egghead Supreme Court Justices have gone out of their way to try to redefine what it actually means. Either these Supreme Court Justices can’t read or they have been paid off by the criminals that run the federal government. Not only that, but it is incredibly frightening that the court only ruled 5-4 in favor of the Second Amendment with limitations. The dissenting Justices essentially said that the people don’t have the right to bear arms. It doesn’t get much more insane than this. This is totally unacceptable, as the main purpose of the Second Amendment is to ensure that the people can stand up against a tyrannical government and defend their lives, liberty and property. This ruling is more proof that the establishment is continuing its agenda of disarming the American people so they can setup a global dictatorship of death."

The following is taken from a Reuters report which summarizes what Justice Antonin Scalia said on behalf of the majority opinion.
In the majority opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia said the Second Amendment protected an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Although an individual now has a constitutional right to own guns, that new right is not unlimited, wrote Scalia, a hunter.
He said the ruling should not be taken to cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill or on laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in places like schools and government buildings or laws imposing conditions on gun sales.
This is proof that Scalia and the other Justices in the majority opinion simply do not have an understanding of the Second Amendment or refuse to interpret it properly. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were written so that the vast majority of people could understand them. They were not written so that only lawyers and judges could understand its contents. Let’s take a look at the full text of the Second Amendment.
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.
In Response to Scalia Lee Rodgers of Roguegovernment.com said, "The words "shall not be infringed" is what is key. The Second Amendment doesn’t say that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed except in certain cases. It doesn’t get anymore clear than this yet Scalia and the majority opinion Justices some how get the impression that the right to bear arms is not unlimited? How can someone make such a statement and be a Supreme Court Justice? This is proof that Scalia and the other Supreme Court Justices in the majority opinion are not competent to hold office and should be removed immediately. The founding fathers were saying that the right to bear arms is an inalienable right. Any regulation of firearms is unconstitutional and the government does not have the authority under the Constitution to dictate who is allowed to bear arms and who doesn’t.
I love what Lee Rodgers is saying here. He has more wisdom and common sense than all nine justices. This is not a good ruling . It is being spun as a great thing for gun owners. But only so they will all go to sleep and stop paying attention to further regulation. They can make getting a gun such a difficult process that most people will not bother. They did not triple the size of the ATF for nothing. The elites need to take our weapons to fulfill their dream of total tyranny. Gun Owners must remain vigilant and watch even more carefully for gun control measures.
What is really crazy is that the NRA is hailing this as a victory. The NRA is a smoke screen for gun control. Join Gun Owners of America. The NRA is an imposter posing as gun rights group.
The NRA knows this is a smoke screen. The NRA is part of the globalist elite’s mind control. They have many members that are being fooled. The NRA has been a big weapon in gun regulation for the power brokers for decades. The agenda is to keep chipping away at our gun rights and all our rights until the American people are totally enslaved by the New World order.
People should be on the steps of the Supreme Court building protesting this ruling everyday. Instead the New World Order will sit and laugh at all the sheep with the wool once again pulled over their eyes. Look at the sheep they think they had a victory. Sleep Sheep. Sleep.
