Wow. The most surprising thing about that list is that I recognized quite a few names of democrats on it. Of course some of them are considered the "conservative" democrats elected in 2006. Maybe they are actually living up to that billing. Also, that's a very sizable list of co-sponsors, much more impressive than any co-sponsor list I've seen for anti-gun legislation in recent years.
|
|
Why now?
Why is this legislation only being presented after Heller has been accepted by the SCOTUS? |
|
Probably because they are shitting their pants that a 2nd Amendment decision is being made.
|
|
I'm glad to see that Representative Moonbat is helping out. |
|
|
My guess is that they see the handwriting on the wall. They want to make sure that they are on the 'right' side of the issue when the ruling comes down. |
|
|
This bill was introduced awhile ago but is still gaining sponsors
|
|
Well good news is good news. Things are starting to look up for us.
|
|
it'll get attached to some appropriations bill that will get vetoed and the politicians will say, "look, we tried!"
this shouldn't have to come down to passing a law that makes it "legal" to own a gun in DC. the 2A is clear and shouldn't have to be interpreted. |
|
I'd like to think your right, but that would imply that our politicians know what logical thought is. |
|
|
Thats because its not gun legislation it's anti- DC v Heller legislation |
|
|
Any relief created by Heller v DC would still have to be IMPLIMENTED by legislation by congress. All SCOTUS would do is remove the old law- it would just leave a vacume.
|
|
Rep Musgrave, Marilyn N. [CO-4] - 4/17/2007
This surprised me. She is all about taking our guns away in CO. |
|
If this law as passed, would the Supreme Court then reject hearing the Heller case?
If so, this would actually be "anti-gun" legislation, as it would make the actual SCOTUS opinion of the 2nd Amendment go away. Meaning we lose again. So would this make the Heller case go away in the SCOTUS? |
|
To protect the NRAs relevence and funding. |
|
|
When does the CA version come out?
And my Rep. is on that list |
|
Uhhhh NO!!! We are a few months away from something the SCOTUS has been ducking for 70+ years, this is the ultimate in bad timing. |
|
|
When the earth shifts it's poles probably. |
|
|
I think this was planned. |
||
|
Wow. Did not see that one coming. |
|
|
The tards are scared, that is a good thing. Cant wait to see the utter horseshit that gets tacked on to this legislation too. Probably A massive ammunition tax on MIL/LE calibres. |
|||
|
You know, if the SCOTUS does not hear the Heller case and doesn't rule on the side of the 2nd because of this legislation, I am going to NEVER trust in our political process again. If this is the case, you can't trust ANY of them to do the right thing. As far as I am concerned, if this screws up our chance at finally getting our 2nd Amendment Rights back in full, our "friends" at the NRA and the so called "pro-gun" legislators can KMA. If the Heller case is pulled off the docket because of this, the NRA will NEVER get another dime from me. Period. I am getting really sick and tired of this snow job by our so called friends. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it. |
||||
|
It was sponsored by Sen. Kay Hutchison from Texas and was introduced in March. She also sponsored a similar bill in 2005. |
|
|
So did she know the Heller case would go up to the SCOTUS when she wrote this? And do you have a link to the similar bill. I'd really like to read that. I would really like to hold out the hope that this legislation would be passed and that the SCOTUS would also hear the Heller case. But I have a feeling we'll end up getting screwed in the end of all of it. |
||
|
I'm not sure, but Orrin Hatch sponsored a similar bill in 2003 too. www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s108-1414 |
|||
|
Thanks, they had a link to it. "S. 1082 [109th]: District of Columbia Personal Protection Act"...DEAD. |
||||
|
The current one is 1001 www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1001 |
|||||
|
Yep. |
||
|
Incorrect. Congress doesn't have to legislate anything for us to have the right to keep and bear arms. |
|
|
What has Musgrave done to try to take guns away? |
|
|
|
This has been coming up ever since 'Heller' was 'Parker'...
It was initiated because many on the pro-gun side do not want to take the chance of an anti-gun ruling... So the NRA decided to see about getting relief for the DC folks through legislation. |
|
and mooting the Parker precedent. |
|
|
Great to see my Congressman, Virgil Goode is on the list. But not suprised about it, he's a pretty good guy.
Mike |
|
He has the most conservative record of all of the nominee's, doesn't surprise me. This does though Rep Drake, Thelma D. [VA-2] - 3/29/2007 She is a democrat, glad to see it though. |
||
|
That is 100% what I was thinking. Post 223, BTW! |
|
|
After a quick glance, I see no CT reps on that list.
No surprise there, though. |
|
Nope. AR-15 would not make Heller moot. M4's would be a step in the right direction but incomplete. DC has a total ban on handguns. Heller would continue as long as handguns are arms.
|
|
I have already started to contact all my state congresspersons, thanking them for supporting the 2A. Especially the Dems.
I suggests that everyone here do the same. |
|
This legislation shouldn't affect anything regarding Heller. The legislation doesn't address the conflict between courts in interpreting a constitutional issue of individual vs. collevtive rights, so the SCOTUS shold still be hearing the case. |
|
|
I think this is a flanking maneuver.
If Congress makes an end run around the supreme court before it makes a decision then they cal also stipulate the definition of what the 2A means to individuals and leave their current gun control in place. This could leave much more gun control in place than if the SCOTUS just said 2A applies to an individual and forces courts and Congress to redefine. Congress could come in and say "yes, 2A applies to DC and is an individual right, based on our definition which involves gun control." SCOTUS may say "yes, 2A applies to DC and is an individual right, now make sure your laws don't restrict the individual right." The latter is much more favorable to me than the former. |
|
Its my understanding that once the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case, its cannot be pulled off the docket. In addition, there is a larger question to be ruled on by the Supremes; whether the 2nd is an individual right or not. Which is not being addressed by the above proposed legislation. |
