Edited on Tue Dec-01-09 02:18 AM by sharesunitedI don't blame Mike Huckabee for commuting the sentence of the Seattle gunman.I blame Associate Justice Antonin Scalia for the availability of the gun.It was Scalia who wrote the majority opinion in the Heller decision.It is Scalia who has attempted to give the patina of constitutional legitimacy to an individual right to own guns and ammunition, making it impossible to shut down the gun trade.The proliferation of guns and ammo is the only societal problem on display in this case, and no amount of spin by gun lovers can obscure that fact. The same ease by which guns and ammo are made available for lawful purchase makes them available for unlawful purchase. Banned in Chicago? Just drive to Indiana. How far is Indiana? Not far. Banned in the District? Just drive to Virginia. How far is Virginia? Not far.Scalia might as well have personally shot those four officers in that diner himself, as guilty as he is for contributing to the problem which caused their deaths. He is bathed in their blood.
It makes Little Goons feel better when they think about living in a world where evil guns can be found only in the hands of evil people. Or do the Little Guns REALLY REALLY think a magic law will make all guns disappear?
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
