Guns, Guns, Guns
Guns, guns, guns and more guns. Can we ever have enough guns to protect ourselves from the tyrants of government? Left, right, center the condition or the position makes little difference. In government it’s all about size baby. And bigger– isn’t better.
For decades we’ve been told the biggest is the best. That thinking has brought us globalization and to the brink of financial ruin. The concept of super size has put us not he critical list as a species. Progress was great, but we stop evaluating growth as it applies to logic.
“If a state government works, why not expand it to the federal government to share costs across the nation and eliminate redundancy?”
Sounded good until we looked at how well the European Union worked or our federal government. Expanding beyond the state borders made sense until we lost control. Now the only option, we are told, is to go global or perish. I suggest the global thinking got us here. As a prescription for survival we think “shrink it!”
Now we can hope SCOTUS delivers us less gun regulation, so that we may keep what Freedom remains.
Supreme Court scrutinizes state, local gun control
By MARK SHERMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) – Gun control advocates think, if not pray, they can win by losing when the Supreme Court decides whether the constitutional right to possess guns serves as a check on state and local regulation of firearms.
The justices will be deciding whether the Second Amendment – like much of the rest of the Bill of Rights – applies to states as well as the federal government. It’s widely believed they will say it does.
But even if the court strikes down handgun bans in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill., that are at issue in the argument to be heard Tuesday, it could signal that less severe rules or limits on guns are permissible.
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence is urging the court not to do anything that would prevent state and local governments “from enacting the reasonable laws they desire and need to protect their families and communities from gun violence.”
