Thread: Unconstitutional Action and Gun Laws

[Also, I think what you have to remember is a govt. has a responsibility to do what it feels best for the people. If that means old rulings need to change, so be it. Stubear, there is no evidence that I am aware of that suggests arming a society reduces crime.[/QUOTE]


The statement about the government doing what it thinks best may apply to the UK and Europe. However, the US government will do what its people say is best or all the politicians will pay with their blood. Elected politicians should fear the wrath of the people and do as they are told, not as they "think best".
This idea about the government and its "best for all approach" is trying to be forced on the US people by the current administration. We are not Europe. I hate the federal government, hence when the US does break up again, the states will once again have the power to control their own affairs and let the federal government do what it is supposed to do which is essentially regulate trade and provide national defense. Before to long the administration is going to be burned to the ground and replaced by those who listen if they keep forcing their socialist ideals upon us. Right now its healthcare, next could be disarmament, then taxation into oblivion could easily follow.
As to the purpose of the thread, the Supreme Court in all its righteousness doesn't even defend the constitution. That group ruled in favor of a case where a private developer could petition the local government to take your land and build buildings upon (this occurred in New London, CT by the way) it and give you a crappy price for it. And yet, some people on here fear this group? Are you serious? That was why I said North Carolina should do hat they want and ignore the court since the court has no honor or credibility if they make decisions like they have. They may pass down orders, but the last thing the administration wants to do is use military power to force a state into something. If it were one person, I would say they have to yield, but if the majority of the people of the state agree on the subject, the the Court will brush it aside and move on.
The current administration (according to Gallup) has the lowest approval rate in its fist year since Truman administration.
Let me tell you, they are on their way to greatness!
