    Making boys be ashamed for being masculine and instead pushing the trans agenda on them...
    Lack of respect for parents or authority....

    No more than saying background checks, waiting periods, restricting carry, and red flag laws is the same as banning guns.

    Heller is bad jurisprudence, regardless of the underlying issue. The decision is based off of cherry picked qoutes and twisted logic. It overturned 200 years of realitvily consistent judical rulings to advance an ideological viewpoint. Long term it will be viewed in the same light as Dred Scott, Slaughterhouse or Buck v Bell.

    The US obviously has the market cornered on homicidal maniacs. Just the norm to have weekly mass shootings and little to no criteria to qualify for gun ownership

    So, is it your opinion you know more about the law than the United States Federal Courts? I should also add that SCOTUS is expected to strike down the NY concealed carry law as well as overturn something else I don't even want to get into.

    I could list many decisions the court has made I hate. I did not care much for their Kelo v. City of New London decision, but I do respect it.

    You should cut your dick off to prevent rape.

    My guns haven't hurt anyone.

    Me personally? Not really. I can pass a baby bar, but that's it.

    However, Justice Stevens wrote in his dissent Heller is “unquestionably the most clearly incorrect decision . . .
    announced during my tenure on the bench"

    Chief Justice Warren Burger said the personal purposes interpretation of the 2nd amendment is a fraud.

    The Repository of Historical Gun Laws Shows 1,000s of American laws restricting the time, place, and manner of gun ownership and possession. In 200 years, the Supreme Court ruled on the 2nd amendment once, in a rulling that upheld gun restrictions.

    The same linguistics search engine that is the basis for overturning the federal mask mandate also contradicts Scalia's interpretation of how the founders used/understood the words in the 2nd amendment.

    So, yeah, I feel I'm on pretty strong ground when I say the decision is flawed.

    Well if you want to get technical you could ban all motor vehicles. That should also prevent deaths. We could also ban aircraft and that should save a life from time to time. The same could be said for narcotic pain killers, since they are being abused and people are dying let's ban them outright. Oh, while we are at it let's repeal the 21st Amendment and go back to prohibition because there are many alcohol-related deaths a year. The point is when do you draw the line with banning things that legal law-abiding folks do or have. I am going to stand by my position that taking firearms from law-abiding folks is simply wrong.

    However, Stevens was in the minority. While I don't agree with every decision made by SCOTUS I do agree with that one!

    If we would just outlaw murder, then all this would stop.
