Of course, I know several who believe they have the right.

Not historically correct (e.g, it was Madison, not Jefferson who wrote the Constitution).

Want a free assault rifle, provided by the government?


If you really want to exercise your "Second Amendment |right", then you can get a free assault rifle and all those other military toys.

Don't ask, Don't tell?

Somebody mention penis substitutes?  Happy Valentine's Day, Gun Loons!

Michael Dunn's neighbour talks about him

Michael Dunn's Neighbour talks about him.  Are you really sure you want people like him walking armed on the street?

It makes sense that he would use the "get away with murder" laws to kill someone
 



Here the neighbour confirms his identity:

Any luck the jurors will find him GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! 

I hope his taking a chance on a jury will backfire on him,

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who, as a member of the legislature in 2006, supported the death penalty for repeat sex offenders, was back in the news yesterday revealing that she also backs a measure that would make it legal to carry a handgun openly or concealed without a permit, according to The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C. 

 Haley’s remarks came during a bill signing in which she inked legislation that will allow armed citizens to carry in restaurants and bars, provided they don’t drink alcohol, and that firearms are not prohibited by the businesses. That contrasts with Washington law, which allows carry in restaurants, but not lounges or taverns. South Carolina gun prohibitionists were not happy.

Let's see if I got it all.  She's for executing the mentally ill sex offenders in addition to carrying guns in bars AND constitutional carry?  Wow, what a state.

New Jersey Man Sues the State over Concealed Carry Permit Denial


The National Rifle Association is supporting a Sussex County man's lawsuit seeking a permit to carry his handgun outside of his house, the organization announced this week.

The national lobbying group said it was backing John Drake’s lawsuit with a forthcoming amicus brief, in support of Second-Amendment rights in New Jersey, the organization said. Drake, and other plaintiffs involved in the lawsuit, petitioned last month to have their case heard in the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Law-abiding citizens have a constitutional right to defend themselve beyond their front doorstep,” said Chris W. Cox, the executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action.

Drake, of Fredon, is a business owner who owns and services ATMs – and who carries large amounts of cash, he said in an interview this morning. The suit challenges New Jersey law requiring "justifiable need" to acquire concealed-carry permits, he said.

The problem is not with the "may issue" system which requires the applicant to present "justifiable need," but rather with the definition of "justifiable need."

In my opinion, Mr. Drake qualifies.  I don't see that it's necessary to dismantle the entire system in order to accommodate cases like this.  Of course that's what the pro-gun folks want, but with a minor tweak, the New Jersey system can be sufficiently improved.
