1. Hear Hear.
Of course, now the flies will begin to buzz about how the second amendment authorizes creation of a militia, or some such nonsense...In direct contradiction to both the heller ruling, AND the preamble to the bill of rights itself:

THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution

www.billofrights.org


The truth of the matter is on OUR side.

And yeah, we have only just begun to fight.

2. What memories this brings back...
'Twas the night before Heller and all through DU,

Everyone was sleeping save only a few;


The alarms were set for 10 eastern with care,

In hopes that a decision would soon be there;


The guns were all nestled with care in their lockers,

Even those Berettas with their odd de-cockers,


Out in California with a smile on its face,

A cat named Samantha guarded Slackmasters safe;


Elsewhere the gunnies were out drinking beers,

And discussing the case to attentative ears,


"We've waited decades for this" they say with disdain,

"They better get this right, or we'll be stuck with mccain",


And elsewhere the bradys were crying in their sleep,

"Dog forbid they say arms are to bear and to keep",


"Activist judges" their minions may claim,

With venom and vile and statements of blame,



Spokespeople for the "civilised world" might proclaim

"Though self appointed, I'll make this plain",


"Old dead white guys is what its about",

"You can join us, or fight us or trod off and pout"


And down in the gungeon all was well,

Wickerman had kept the peace with narry a yell,


Much time had passed since the assault weapons ban,

And truth had been spread about it as was the plan,


There once was one who had argued that case,

With pantloads of pantloads festooning the place,


But Times have changed where guns are concerned,

And Fenty and Dc will probably get burned,


And good we will feel if this goes our way,

Me, I'll target shoot and celebrate all day,


And smile because I knew we were right all along,

That contrary to gungrabbers we DO belong,


And the days of gun banning could pass quickly by,

And Democrats could again own the large piece of pie,


Pass universal healthcare and bring the troops home,

And end the war and our emperors of rome,


Stop spying and fisa and all kinds of stuff,

And be in a position to finally say enough,


Some of you reading may think this is evil,

It really isn't though its just me - Beevul,


And Now I exclaim as I log off this site,

Happy Heller to all and to all a good night.

--------------------------------------------


Who is bitter now, I wonder.
