good news on the war against guns (being banned)

[towerclimber37]

On a lighter note, I got this in the mail from the NRA apparachniks...

On March 9, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled, in Parker v. District of Columbia, that D.C.’s prohibition on the possession of a handgun, and keeping any gun assembled and loaded in the home (the condition required for self-defense), are unconstitutional. The court agreed that the Second Amendment protects a pre-existing right of individuals, not a so-called "right" of a state to maintain a select militia, or a privilege to have guns only when serving in a select militia. The court also ruled that individuals have a right to possess handguns. On July 16, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty announced the city would appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

As we reported in the July 20, Grassroots Alert, while it is too early to tell whether the Supreme Court will choose to hear the appeal, the District’s action sets the stage for a possible showdown over the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Since enacting its gun ban, D.C. has ranked at or near the top of the list of most violent cities in America, often earning the distinction of being the nation’s murder capital. Nonetheless, supporters of the law are continuing to parrot their ridiculous claim that, without this constitutionally offensive statute, things would have been much worse!

The 30-year-old D.C. experiment has failed. The D.C. gun ban doesn't make its citizens safer. It does not prevent criminals from getting guns. And it violates the U.S. Constitution.

Stay tuned for future developments on this story.

I got this as well..a bit of good news..

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="copy">Friday, September 07, 2007</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="copy"> A recent spate of contemptible allegations has shaken up some prominent players within the ranks of the anti-gun community.

Earlier this week, anti-gun Broward County, Florida Sheriff Ken Jenne resigned after agreeing to plead guilty to federal tax evasion and mail fraud charges stemming from a federal corruption investigation.

You may recall Sheriff Jenne’s involvement in the controversial 2003 CNN report where he and reporter John Zarella blatantly and deliberately misled viewers in a staged “demonstration†of semi-automatic “firepower,†and were called to task for their misrepresentation by NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, forcing CNN to apologize.

The plea deal came as Jenne faced a possible grand jury indictment on more serious money-laundering charges. The plea will likely mean at least a year in prison for the longtime force in Florida politics.

The George Soros saga continued this week, as the Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined one of the largest liberal political action committees $775,000.00 for using unregulated soft money to support John Kerry and other candidates during the 2004 elections.

Bankrolled largely by the vehemently anti-gun Soros, “America Coming Together†(ACT) raised $137 million for its Get-Out-The-Vote effort in 2004, but the FEC found most of that cash came through contributions that violated federal limits.

The settlement, which was unanimously approved by the FEC, represents the third largest enforcement penalty in the commission’s 33-year history.

Finally, this week, CNN and other media outlets reported that two mayors and two state legislators were among 11 public officials arrested in New Jersey as part of a large-scale corruption sting.

The state officials allegedly accepted cash bribes from sham FBI insurance brokerage and roofing companies, and in return awarded the companies with public contracts.

Anti-gun State Assemblymen Mims Hackett Jr. (D) and Alfred E. Steele (D), and Passaic Mayor Samuel Rivera, (a member of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ® Anti-Gun Mayors Coalition) were among those arrested.

If convicted, they could be sentenced to up to 20 years in federal prison.

Rather than calling for additional restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, perhaps these individuals should have focused their efforts on policing themselves.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Justice will sooner or later overtake us.

I pray you are right.

I am sick to death of these votewhoringcriminalpoliticiansforhire "things" we have running this country.

My biggest fear is that in the coming global conflict we will end up with a military government. While it works, it's more scary than anything else I can imagine, excluding global muslim control.

Doesnt matter what we do, they will do as they please, either way!
