OT - The Supremes To Decide On A Gun Issue
Today, the Court is supposed to take up the issue of whether or not
local governments have the right to restrict gun ownership. It will be an interesting test of the mettle of old-time Conservatives, who are fond of arguing in favor of "States' Rights" over the power of the Federal government. I predict that they will conveniently forget the states' rights issue for the duration of this decision. While I agree with them on the core issue of the inalienability of citizens' rights to posses firearms, I can't help but think that states' rights has always been a smoke screen for discriminatory and/or repressive behavior. Since the Court is tilted in favor of Conservatives, I suppose that the decision will favor gun rights, but I remain suspicious about the real agenda of any politicians; despite all their populist talk, they don't want too much power vested in the hands of the citizenry. Here's hoping that the decision will be made in favor of freedom. Joe |
