Way to go, liberals! You've done it again. You've driven up gun sales and shot yourself in the foot to boot. You can talk about gun confiscation all you want, but it is not going to happen. There are just too many armed, liberty-loving Americans. You only galvanize the opposition with your emotion-driven tirades. Argumentatively, you don't have a leg to stand on, if I may be permitted to extend my shot-to-the-foot metaphor.
And then there is that pesky Second Amendment concerning which even SCOTUS finally saw the light:
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554U.S.570 (2008), is a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held, in a 5–4 decision, that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban and requirement that lawfully-owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee. (Wikipedia)
You will note that the Second Amendment "protects" the individual's right. It does not confer it. That's very important. I invite you to think about it.
Please also note how idiotic, how 'Pelosian' if you will, was the D. C. requirement that firearms be kept disassembled (sic!). I'd better stop. I feel a rant coming on.
Sales are up! Reuters. Gateway Pundit.
