Would an AWB be good?

[Surefire]

Heck no.

The surpreme court will get more extreme-left additions at the first chance, under this administration.

When the surpreme court goes from slightly right to left, such a law would likely NOT be overturned.

Exactly.

Let us not forget that Heller was won by a 5-4 margin.


Let us thank our lucky stars that the case was brought when it was. Does ANYONE think that this would go the same way after a BHO administration appoints Supreme Court justices?

The Presidency is one thing. The real dangers are the Judicial Branch and the Legislative Branch, in that order.


Sure, an AWB may not occur soon. But you know what? Supreme Court appointments set the stage for legislation for years into the future.

And THAT is our real threat.

Well, I guess we may find out now. Obama has been elected president.


We may find out how many anti-gun measures can be enacted in 4 years.



I certainly hope we don't though.



Also, people talk about which SCOTUS judges maybe replaced, and they pick the oldest two who are both anti-gun, so they say it can't be too bad of a trade off. But you never know, one of the pro-2nd amendment judges may have a stroke or whatever else and need to be replaced first.

Obama is heavily beholden to unions and trial lawyers. That implies that he'll nominate judges which are tilted toward that bias which doesn't necessarily mean anti-gun. It is possible that a judge may be pro union, pro abortion, pro trial lawyer but not anti gun as well. We can hope.

No! Remember, the "conservative" judges in Heller sold us out by saying something to the effect of "reasonable restrictions are ok", which more or less eviscerates the right from the get go. I would rather them have said, "Nope the 2A means what it says", and then Kennedy flies the coup on getting the majority and we lose 4-5 - let's have the revolution and get it over with already, rather than slowly becoming the boiled frogs here. The 4 stalwart (so-called) "conservative" justices are actually contributing to the problem by placating us to become slowly boiled until it's too late, instead of fighting the good fight, losing, but at the same time rousing the populace to revolt as we should. We'd have been much better off in the long run had they turned up the heat on us, stirring us to JUMP out of the pot!

While that is theoretically possible, do you know any judges like that?

It's a long shot to expect the SCOTUS to overturn such a law. SCOTUS would be contradicting the U.S. Congress and the President of the U.S.A., not just DC legislators from decades ago. [/QUOTE


That is why they are there!
