[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess it does not matter but this Scalia stuff is not right. The Heller case said an individual could have a gun in their home for self defense. That's all. The DC gun law was shot down in the court of appeals and DC decided not to go the the Supreme Court. Scalia and in fact no one on the court had anything to do with it. Heller is a very limited ruling. Just because we won does not mean we should turn into nutty Trump type people.[/quote] You’re telling us that the Republican effort to flood the country with guns, Scalia, Koches (for votes), gun CEOs, NRA — this has nothing to do with gun crime? Come on. Scalia and the other Republican judges in Heller said that DC couldn’t ban handguns. They *made that up*. It’s “unconstitutional” because Republicans made up a new part of the constitution. And that allowed a demonstrably non-cautious woman to carry a gun secretly around the streets of DC. That puts every family in DC at some higher level of risk. Period. This stuff isn’t hard. Why do people have to make such specious arguments about it? Republican. Gun. Policy. Endangers. DC. Citizens. [/quote] This country has [i]always[/i] been flooded with guns. Guns aren’t a new invention. [b]They’ve existed for the entire history of settlement on this continent.[/b] What’s new, is the acceptability and normalization of violence in our entertainment and popular culture, a tolerance in our court systems for violent criminals, and psychoactive mediations prescribed to so many as though they were TicTacs. [/quote] What now? [/quote]
