JohnRich 4 #1 March 30, 2012 News:Another Gun Rights Victory from Second Amendment Foundation "A federal district court judge in North Carolina has just struck down that state’s emergency power to impose a ban on firearms and ammunition outside the home during a declared emergency, ruling that the provision violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. "The case, Bateman v. Purdue, was brought by the Second Amendment Foundation, Grass Roots North Carolina FFE and three individual plaintiffs... "In his opinion, Judge Malcolm J. Howard, senior United States district judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina, wrote, “…the court finds that the statutes at issue here are subject to strict scrutiny…While the bans imposed pursuant to these statutes may be limited in duration, it cannot be overlooked that the statutes strip peaceable, law abiding citizens of the right to arm themselves in defense of hearth and home, striking at the very core of the Second Amendment...”Full story: Reason Another bad gun law struck down, one that denied the right to keep and bear arms at a time when it was needed most. The Second Amendment Foundation just keeps racking up victories, one after another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyChimp 0 #3 March 31, 2012 Glad to see about the court ruling. I just picked up another Ruger. Some people collect stamps... some of us collect guns. :-) Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
