Obama, to end Mexican Drug Violence, has Decided to Disarm the US Military

Story over at The Spoof.

-SNIP-”President Barack Obama, in consultation with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has decided that the time has come to disarm the United States Military.

In a press conference at the White House, Obama said that “we have decided that the best way to stop the violence in Mexico with the drug wars is to cease weapons manufacturing and usage in this country….“-SNIP-

Sure it is a just a parody today, but, it rung just a little too true…..

Story ends with a great quote:  “Our rich Republicans have enough to provide for all of the people who want to come here to take advantage of our welfare and education systems.“  The best thing is, looking at Californians’ response to 1A, it looks like only the legislatures still belive that.  Somehow both Democrats and Republicans are beginning to think that we might just be overtaxing too much.

Supreme Court Justice Souter Resigned…

For those that watch these things, SCOTUS Justice Souter has resigned.

People probably remember that Heller v DC, the big second amendment decision that was decided last year, decided that firearm ownership was an individual right — by a NARROW 5-4 margin.

So, the $64,000 question you are asking yourself right now…..  Don’t worry.  Souter was on the dissenting side of that case.

Souter will be missed, but, it feels like he was anxious to retire and took the opportunity of a sitting liberal President in order to guarantee that his tradition, at least broadly, will be continued.

CA not unsafe handgun roster challanged

So you want that new rough textured frame Glock pictured above?  Too bad if you are here in CA since the texture on that model makes it unsafe. No, really, it does.  If you manufacture a firearm with a rough texture frame vs. the standard textured frame this supposedly makes the firearm unsafe in CA. And don’t even think about a different colored frame, that obviously makes the firearm unsafe.

That doesn’t make much sense to most sensible people in CA, so the legal beagles of the 2A are methodically chasing down the nonsensical anti-gun laws here in CA empowered by the recent Heller vs. D.C. and Nordyke decisions.

The Second Amendment Foundation, The Calguns Foundation and four California residents today filed a lawsuit challenging a California state law and regulatory scheme that arbitrarily bans handguns based on a roster of “certified” handguns approved by the State. This case parallels a similar case filed in Washington, DC, Hanson v. District of Columbia.

California uses this list despite a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court last summer that protects handguns that ordinary people traditionally use for self-defense, and a recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments. The California scheme will eventually ban the purchase of almost all new handguns.
