The Empire Strikes Back

Game on.

My 401K has been sucking wind lately. Can I bet invest in Gura? Sometimes even a blind man can spot a sure thing!

If Daley was spending his own money, this might be of some import.
Since it's not, and there's not one in a hundred Chicago-area residents even aware of the expense he and his outfit have racked up, it's of no political or public consequence.
Not one word of this part of the process has been mentioned in the area news coverage.

The trigger lock provision proposed has already been struck down. Scalia was very clear about that.

This is what you get when interpretations are made that come from either thin air or out of someone's arse.

In 1833, the SC screwed up. In 2010, the SC screwed it up more.

Anyone who grasps our system of government and the superior/subordinate relationships of authority recognizes neither the courts, nor the executive, nor the Congress can "interpret" the Constitution. This is lie perpetrated on the people by those we elect/select to serve us. The lie began with the first meeting of our government because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The SC, under the BS pulled out their arse Doctrine of Incorporation, screws up the Rights. They leave holes in our Rights. They add words not in and never intended to be in the Constitutional provisions.

Celebrate if you wish. You have lost more than you have gained because you have fallen victim to their lie.

The system of government that the courts discuss today is 180 degrees out of phase with the system of government that the Framers created. The Courts and the government have converted us back to the old world model and destroyed every ounce of freedom the Framers fought for.

In our system of government, the government is tabula rasa before the Constitution delegates specific powers. And the only powers the government legitimately has are those written in the Constitution. There are no inherent powers (old world concept). There are no implied powers (BS made up by judicial branch and other wishful thinking in order to steal power). A study of the delegated powers enumerated in the Constitution proves these two claims correct.

These lies are kept going through the failed education system in order to keep We the People down and under the thumb of some power hungry tyrant. If you don't know the truth, you can't rise above the lies.

Does anyone see "reasonable" restrictions in the 2nd. The Framers were smart enough to include the word "reasonable" where it was needed and they wer4e smart enough to leave it out where it was not. I wish I had the copy of the Constitution the justices have. You know, the one with all the added notes about this not being absolute and that being resaonable, etc.

Liars, damn liars, and judges.

FWB:

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. And those invested in "the system" have too much to lose to let the People have too much freedom.

Just a shot in the dark - did not Mayor Daley just tip his hand to his intent to use his office to violate civil rights?

I mean this in the sense that if the judge said "You cannot beat your wife" and the Mayor's response is, "OK, then I'll beat my wife until the judge again says stop you cannot beat your wife; then I will know just how much I can beat my wife without legally beating my wife"

Analogy being how many bruises and busted bones get I bestow upon her with out 'infringing' on her right not to be beaten.

Daley thinks it is perfectly OK to use the power of the state to run roughshod over the freedoms of his citizens in the pursuit of lower crime. He feels like his end state is good and just, and thus any means to get there is therefore justified.
That his methods to get there have been proven to be a complete failure merely means that he isn't trying hard enough. After all, it isn't the plan that is wrong, for that would mean that his beliefs were wrong. It must be because it isn't being implemented well enough, or hard enough, so we must try harder!

I see that Daley has claimed those wanting to own a handgun have to aquire firearms training, but will have get that training outside the city as there are no training ranges for them in the city and they cannot use police ranges. Doesn't the Pittman-Robins act call for public access to any ranges built using any Federal funds when they are not in actual use by the police. This comes from the Excise tax collected on all firearms and ammunition. I have seen this challenged in a few areas where training ranges were built and people were told no civilans could use these ranges. It, the Pittman-Robins Act, was brought up to force allowing public use and it succeded in allowing safe instructions for private individuals with prior scheduling. Just a thought.
