Protect your 2nd Ammendmant Rights!
Posted by Rob Longenecker on January 20th, 2008
U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the DC handgun ban saying it was a violation of the second amendment. For the first time in years a court held that the second amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms. The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case. Defenders of the second amendment have been working hard for just this moment in history for years.
Last Friday, the United States Solicitor General filed formal briefs asking the Supreme Court not to affirm the lower court’s decision. This is just outrageous. The Solicitor General is the Federal Government’s lawyer. So, now we have the federal government using our tax dollars to argue for a delay on a ruling concerning our fundamental rights.
Take action today – sign this petition to let the government know that you value your second amendment rights. Together, we can ensure that your rights are protected. For the first time in years we have the opportunity for the Supreme Court to clearly say that the second amendment applies to all Americans and that no government can ban all handguns.
Let your voice be heard – sign the petition.

This is very serious stuff, boys. This is the most severe and dangerous assult on, not only the second, but all individual rights protected by The Constitution of the United States of America.
These guys will never give up. All gun owners and Constitutional Libertarians should assume a siege mentality. Our rights are under fire. Today, it’s guns. Tomorrow? Speach? God? Religion? Dress? What could be next?

Sorry, yes, I do know how to spell, “assault”, and “speech”. My fervor got in the way of my “speelin'”. 😀
Now that I have a new window open, allow me to say that I believe the Constitution of the United States of America to be the single-most inspired document ever written.
Everytime an individual right is brought into question, Thomas Jefferson grabs his side in agony.

The endless battle to keep what was intended as a birth-right.
It’s easy to understand why one might awaken each day pissed off.
