JohnRich 4 #1 June 21, 2012 News:SAF Says New Chicago Ruling Bolsters 2A Momentum "A ruling overturning part of Chicago's Firearm Ordinance on Second Amendment grounds reinforces the principle that people should not be denied the exercise of their right to keep and bear arms even if they've been convicted of a non-violent misdemeanor, the Second Amendment Foundation said today... "The judge further wrote, "There is something incongruent about a non-violent person, who is not a felon, but who is convicted of a misdemeanor offense of simple possession of a firearm, being forever barred from exercising his constitutional right to defend himself in his own home in Chicago against felons or violent criminals. The same Constitution that protects people's right to bear arms prohibits this type of indiscriminate and arbitrary governmental regulation."Full story: Market Watch Meanwhile, whilst Chicago concentrates on keeping guns away from non-violent misdemeanants, the criminals are still running amok: 35 Hurt, 7 Killed in Chicago Shootings http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Chicago-Weekend-Shootings-159404805.html And Obama's buddy, Mayor Rahm, vows to keep the law on the books anyway, somehow, despite the judges ruling: Mayor determined to preserve city gun law despite judge’s ruling http://www.suntimes.com/news/cityhall/13304283-418/emanuel-determined-to-preserve-city-gun-law-despite-judges-ruling.html/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #3 June 21, 2012 QuoteHey! Why is this not a poll?? I want my poll. Do you think that people who have been found guilty of non-violent misdemeanor crimes should be denied their Second Amendment rights? Now is your chance to "vote" and tell us how you feel about this.

Well, if you're looking for a big poll thrill, go to Bonfire and vote in my "grocery store etiquette" poll. That's the most lop-sided poll I've ever seen. One person actually had the gall to vote in favor of store-shucking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
