DEAD HORSE BEATING ALERT

Where did you go to school, Lewis? The Michael Moore Institute of Fraudulent Fact Fucking?
Click HERE, read pages 55 through 61, then take your SIX court "rulings" and your ONE "high court jurist", and stick 'em where the sun don't shine, shithead.

DEAD HORSE BEATING ALERT From the Letters to the Editor of the Brookline TAB comes this steaming pile of brain manure from one Lewis S. Dabney, a board member of Stop Handgun Violence of Newton (italics mine):
Police Chief O'Leary is right in withholding a gun license from someone with a history of anti-social behavior (page one story Feb. 3). To issue one would probably violate the Brady Law. More particularly the story contains one frequently encountered misstatement: That the former licensees were denied "..attempts to exercise the constitutional right to keep and bear arms."
No such right exists. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled six times since 1939 that there is no individual right to own and bear arms. The Second Amendment, which at least one high court jurist has advocated repealing because it is so often misinterpreted, states that only members of a well-regulated militia have any constitutional gun right. Gun deaths in the U.S. number about 30,000 annually. About 81 percent of firearm homicides are cause by handguns. Issuing licenses for the same should be handled gingerly and sparingly, as Chief O'Leary has wisely demonstrated.

Editor's note: The full text of the Second Amendment is as follows: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Myth: The Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment is not an individual right
Fact: The Supreme Court has never been asked to decide this issue. All court rulings to date either mention the Second amendment in passing, or as a reference to other rights.
Fact: Of 300 decisions of the federal and state courts that have taken a position on the meaning of the Second Amendment or the state analogs to it, only 10 have claimed that the right to keep and bear arms is not an individual right. Many of the other decisions struck down gun control laws because they conflicted with the Second Amendment, such as State v.Nunn (Ga. 1846).
