The response to this decision from the Violence Policy Center, one of the most whacko anti-gun organizations:
http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2010/06/28-5
Note that they use the usual unethical tactics, such as lumping in suicides as "gun violence" to try and fool the public into believing that there are more murders than there really are, and also claiming that gun ownership is dwindling, while FBI background checks for gun purchases have been running at all-time highs. They also call this court case "frivolous", so I guess that they think the 2nd Amendment constitutional rights of the citizens of Chicago are unimportant. Oh, and attacks upon such gun restrictions are wrong because it forces cities to spend money to defend their unconstitutional laws. Oh the horror! Better to save money than to enforce constitutional freedom!
The Brady Campaign ignored the devastating ruling to their cause, and put a happy face on it:
http://www.bradycampaign.org/media/press/view/1265/
While raising a straw-man argument that never existed, in order to claim victory: "the Court has rejected, once again, the gun lobby argument that its ‘any gun, for anybody, anywhere’ agenda".
Funny stuff.

I would be funny if:
1 They weren't serious
2 People (like Daley and Bloomberg) didn't use that misinformation to further their own agenda

QuoteQuoteThat you consider it that people "play with guns" is a bit of a clue toward the lack of seriousness with which you approach the subject.
Why would I be serious about gun rights in the US? We are talking about a country that gets riled up about only a few things:
For a guy that claims not to care one bit about guns, you have 663 postings in this forum that contain gun or guns. That's 8-9% of all your postings at DZ.
Come on...you can admit it. You care a lot about the subject.

Remember back in the old days of DZ.com (maybe you don't, I do) where people would talk about a "post to jump" ratio?
It would be interesting to see what the "overall post to gun post" ratio is for a few folks. It wouldn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things for most people, but as the number got closer to 1:1 I'd almost have to question their motives for being here at all.

Probably would need to know the SC ratio overall to set your baseline. Pulling a number out of thin air, guns might be 10%. The Bush decision on Iraq is probably 10% as well. Obama deficits are in the next category, along with 9/11 conspiracies, CDIF (lower only because it happened longer ago).
Great social science for someone with absolutely nothing better to do.

Cause people keep making claims like, they are going to overthrow the government with their guns. Or, another one of my favourites, how an armed society is a polite society.
I have no issue with your 2nd amendment right, or how many guns you own. I do find that the "justification" brought forward doesn't make a whole lot of sense (other than that it is a right granted under your constitution).
If you are tieing number of posts, caring and subject together, I feel very sorry for most posters in the Bonfire.
But, if it makes you feel better......I care very much about your gun rights. It really keeps me up at night.

Like I said - someone with absolutely nothing to do could quickly disprove this claim - you just can't resist. But that's not me. I'll only go as far as a count with a useful search engine.

Sorry that you're wrong, but at least you've SAID something instead of merely inferring or implying.

They are worth exactly as much as yours.

He votes. His opinion has value. 1/the voting population of Texas. More if he can be persuasive as an advocate.
Which again asks the question - are you a citizen and entitled to vote? If not, then yes, your opinion is worth absolutely nothing. And since you prefer to play games rather than argue a subject on the merits, you're persuading no one else.

Your absence of any personal moral opinions is worth absolutely nothing.
