Hallelujah! The 2nd Amendment upheld!!!

Who would have imagined it? In a day and age when our freedoms are encroached on a daily basis, a 5-4 Supreme Court decision not only struck down the odious DC weapons ban, but also affirmed that the Second Amendment applies to individual citizens!!!

Individual Americans have a right to own guns, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday for the first time in the country's history, striking down a strict gun control law in the U.S. capital.

The landmark 5-4 ruling marked the first time in nearly 70 years the high court has addressed the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It rejected the argument the right to keep and bear arms was tied to service in a state militia.
A better wording of that last line would be: "It rejected the specious and unfounded argument...".

Just when I feel like there's no hope, that Der Staat and Das Überwachenden cannot be stopped, a ray of the sunshine of Freedom suddenly appears. By affirming that the Second Amendment applies to individual citizens, the Court has opened the door for the repeal of the majority of the over 20,000 gun control laws currently on the books nationwide.

Of course, I'm just cynical enough to believe this to be a temporary setback for the fascist elites. They'll find another way to make us vulnerable and anxious so that we clamber for their protective, Statist, hand of "protection".

Nevertheless, it's a great day for those of us on the side of Freedom.
