Got that right, it is not the home owner or business owner who wants to defend that is the ones to worry about its the maniac gang banging, drug thugs where people should be. As a citizen we have every rights to defend ourselves from these maniacs.

I'm really glad that there won't be any restrictions on guns this time around.

Theyll just bring it back again.... when President Obama has nominated his Supreme Court Justices. :(

This is more pathetic then you all think.
Four Supreme Circus Justices today voted to make the Second Amendment unconstitutional. Four. This wasn't even supposed to go all the way to the Supreme Court! It was supposed to have been solved by looking at the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This is symptomatic of how Left-Wing this country has become, and how much we don't even care about the Constitution anymore.
The Courts themselves shouldn't even be involved in political matters. By definition, they should only involve themselves in LEGAL matters! But the Left in this country has found that they can manipulate the court system in a way that can make Conservatism and Pro-Americanism unconstitutional and Socialism mandatory. All it takes is a few left-wing fanatics appointed to be judges, and boom! Osama bin Laden has the rights of American citizens.
Courts started off as the least powerful Branch of Government when came to be. It wasn't intended to have so much power. Now its the MOST powerful branch of government by far, evading the Checks and Balances from the Legislative and Executive branch because the only way to reverse a Supreme Court Decision is by a Constitutional Amendment.
But needless to say, I am relieved that 5/9 of the Supreme Circus believes the Second Amendment exists.

If anyone bothered to read my post, the ruling by the supreme court is a sham, it won't remove any restrictions, just grant a licensing system in DC. This is not a victory, this is all an illusion.
BAD NEWS!
SCOTUS has recognized a right to "common" arms - those which people commonly have for non-military purposes.
SCOTUS has specifically not recognized a right to "militia" arms - those which allegedly have little place in normal society.
This utterly fails to recognize two plain points:
- the 2nd Amendment SPECIFICALLY recognized the need of the populace to be armed for MILITARY PURPOSES, which presumably includes whatever tools are most suitable thereto
- tools cannot become "common" if they are nationally prohibited prior to becoming common. To wit: many/most here would have M16s if only they were allowed to.
SCOTUS really doesn't want the machinegun ban to fall.
“Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
Well I take that back, how the heck is this a victory?
Scalia on the definition of arms:
"The term was applied then as now to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity."
What? Wasn't there basically two arms (besides cannons); muskets and pistols?
And they were both used for military/self-defense and hunting purposes?
Why do we even have a gun forum if no one bothers to read it?
