Awwww, does it feel uncomfortable when your decisions potentially have catastrophic consequences on your own family? The Sandy Hook families say “Welcome to the club.” Your kid is 8x more likely to die because you keep a firearm in the home. Continue to dwell on that. |
"These decisions put my kids at risk. And these mediocrities do it for power and to help GOP donors. It’s disgusting and un-American." This was prescient. Indeed, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and the rest of their raised-in-a-Fed-Soc-test-tube buddies voted to put more guns on our streets. The conservative legal decisions increase gun death, they increases the number of dead kids. Conservatives' gun obsession continues to get American kids killed. In fact, Scalia and Thomas and Roberts have blood on their hands directly for a recent case in DC: Karon Blake's death. Blake's killer would not have had the gun if not for the Fed Soc judges in Heller v DC. Scalia DID THAT. He rolled back a gun law that a vast majority of DC wanted. Rolling back that gun law put the gun in the killer's hands. The killer then killed a kid, with the gun Scalia and the Fed Soc allowed. Other countries look down on us; smart students and tech people are leaving America because of gun death. And bloodthirsty conservative judges just want more guns, more guns, more guns. More dead kids. All because the judges have been selected for slavish devotion to the pro-billionaire Republican agenda. |
Actually, DC law before Heller (which sounds like the case you seem to think unleashed a torrent of firearms on theretofore sterile DC) allowed people who owned registered handguns before the unconstitutional ban on new handgun registrations went into effect to keep them; it also permitted ownership of long guns such as rifles and shotguns, including newly registered ones. There is no public data regarding when the shooter in the case you cite obtained his handgun. He could easily have had it long before Heller. He likewise could have had a shotgun. Your assertion that the late Justice Scalia somehow created the circumstances that led to that particular individual’s death is completely unfounded. Your underlying assumption that DC had no criminal gun issues before Heller is equally fallacious. And your premise that existing guns could ever be made magically to disappear is delusional. What on earth would possess you to resurrect a necro-thread for a completely incoherent rant? |
This. Perhaps finally murders and robberies start going down? |
| I don’t plan to own guns, but I do hate the the criminals know we’re sitting ducks in our homes in DC. Just the fact that any random house could have a gun owner it it would protect all of us. |
I have some bad news for you about timing. |
So is the right to bodily autonomy |
A lot of the people in the school swimming thread would appear to disagree. |
Nope. 2.5 million is a completely fake number that's been floating around for far too long. There are no corresponding police reports or other things that could ever even remotely corroborate numbers that high. |
Or it’s like for some people who didn’t drink your NRA kool aid, the Supreme Court’s conservatives’ belabored interpretation of the second amendment is ahistorical and absurd |
Cite? |
Belabored interpretation? Hmmm. Let’s see….something about….what’s the word? Oh yeah - CONTEXT! You have a collection of ten amendments, nine of which very expressly grant rights and protections to the individual - EXCEPT for the second one on the list - “which establishes the right of the govt to arm its soldiers”. Now tell me - in what possible contextual sense does that sound plausible? It’s akin to you writing your grocery list down, and at item #5, you wrote a Haiku instead. Then at item #6 you were back to groceries again. No one does that. And the Founders didn’t either. |

Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Alito, and the Federalist Society REWROTE the 2nd amendment to flood our streets with guns.
The 2nd amendment is about militias. Period. This is widely known by real historians, real constitutional scholars, and even rightwing lawyers before 1980 or so. (Nixon’s hard right chief justice, despite the F Soc efforts to smear him today, called Scalia’s rewriting of the 2nd amendment “a fraud on the American people.” Today we’d call them MAGA Republican judges. They did this to get votes for right wing billionaires’ agenda. And they don’t care if it gets kids killed. MAGA Republicans did this. The Federalist Society did this. Change the 2nd amendment back, control guns strictly, end child death. |
