The difference between Republicans and Democrats . . .

. . . lies mainly in which rights they think we can get along just fine without. 

The other side of the coin, counterpoint to all the unconstitutional excesses of the Bush Debacle:  Gun shops experiencing an uptick in sales, in the face of a bad economy.

" . . . shall not be infringed."

Well, as was just adjucated this past summer or fall, our 2nd Amendment rights shall NOT be infringed, especially when it concerns any sort of total ban such as Washington D.C. has to now fix. As the daughter of a legally registered law-abiding firearms dealer, I grew up with firearms in my life from before I can remember. My sons have both grown up with guns in their lives, and my husband owns several of those "military issue weapons" such as his treasured M1 Garand. I think if there were any attempt to blanket-ban military issue weapons, the outcry and uproar would be beyond belief. It's bad enough they ban other stupid stuff "For Our Safety (and Their Control of Us)", but there is a limit and I'm pretty sure they're at or close to at our limits as it is.

Ugh *steps off her soapbox* sorry for the lecture!

Barack Obama has already shown his "respect" (and I use the word loosely) for not just the Second Amendment, but the Constitution as a whole. He is on record recently as apparently lamenting that the Constitution does not give the government the power to do things like enforced redistribution of wealth.

Yeah, his students of Constitutional Law all agree... no, wait, they don't. (Steerike three! Yer out!)

John, WTF are you babbling about this time?

(Aside: I wonder what he taught his students that the Second Amendment means....)

Hint: he taught Constitutional law, and none of his students think the word "respect" needs to be scare quoted nor used loosely.
