Well, looks like im on someones spam list now.  Not necesarily a bad thing, at least it gives some insight into the dark side.  Got this email today:



Last week, a Federal Appeals Court overturned Washington D.C.’s long-standing restrictions on handguns — a decision that endangers all of America’s gun laws.

This case is most likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court and we have a tidal wave of work to do before it gets there.

This battle — to its very core — is the most important battle we have ever waged. We need your help today to build a strong Brady Gun Law Defense Fund to save America’s gun laws.

This fight is so critical to the safety and sanity of our nation that an anonymous donor has extended his challenge and will match dollar for dollar all gifts to this Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Your gift will be fully tax deductible.

The threat to all our gun laws is truly unprecedented. The hypocrisy of the ruling is astounding.

What is at stake for you and your community? An emboldened gun lobby will use the ruling to challenge strong local, state and federal gun laws.

We must prepare for an onslaught of lawsuits in which gun laws will be challenged under this new reading of the Second Amendment — a strategy the gun lobby rarely used because of past legal decisions … until now. And, if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses itself and adopts the “individual right to bear arms” view approved by the Federal Appeals Court, all good gun laws everywhere could be at risk …

... from the long-standing machine gun ban … to the 1968 Gun Control Act … to the Brady Background Check Law.

… to your local and state laws … like the ones in California and New Jersey banning Assault Weapons … and many more.

These and many other life-saving laws promoting public safety are at risk. And we need to be ready for an immediate onslaught of challenges and fight them tooth and nail. We need your help today with a tax-deductible gift!

Why is this ruling so radical? Because the decision defies almost 70 years of legal precedent. All courts before this — save one — have ruled that the Second Amendment is not an individual right to bear arms, and this is the first Federal Appeals Court ever to declare a gun law unconstitutional based on the Second Amendment.

In her dissent, Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson wrote that Second Amendment rights relate to “Those militia whose continued vitality is required to safeguard the individual state.” Unlike Judge Henderson, the two judge majority ruled against decades of legal precedent…

… And completely disregarded the democratically-expressed will of the people of the District of Columbia, depriving D.C. citizens of a strict handgun law enacted thirty years ago.

Talk about judicial activism! We can’t help but note the unbelievable hypocrisy here too. Conservatives cry and gnash their teeth about activism from the bench. This decision is judicial activism at its worst.

Judge Silberman, who wrote the majority opinion, is well-known for his close ties to the right-wing. Now — with quintessential judicial activism from the bench — the gun lobby threatens to achieve through the courts what it has been unable to do in Congress.

This is going to be a long, hard fight, but with your help we will save our nation’s gun laws. We will keep you up-to-date as we confront this extraordinary threat to our efforts to reduce gun violence. But right now, we need your support to build our Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Remember that right now your gift to this fund will be doubled! Please act now.

Sincerely,
Your Friends at StoptheNRA.com

P.S. Your gift will be worth double when you give to our Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Please give a tax-deductible gift today.


Best part of all they said at the end that they are my friends

I don't believe the NRA is a tax exempt NPO, the "NRA Foundation" however, is.  Donations made to the NRA Foundation are deductable.  www.nrafoundation.org

Most experts say that due to President Buse's judges now on the court its very very lickly that it will be upholded! While the 1934 ban is stuck on the books due to the 1939 gun case on the books. Its is possible that the ruling can KILL any NEW gun bans. We should bevigilant and If the court protects our rights WE SHOULD ALL then thank President Bush which threw his suprem court nomines made shuch a feat possible.


Plus it would be great to see the Kaliforinain and New York dems crap there paints knowing there movements dead for 30-40 years!

The funny thing is, if you swap 'gun laws' for 'gun rights' it could be an NRA email.

"anonymous donor" = George Soros.

Soros has contributed huge amounts of money to severely resitrict gun rights in this country!

How many of you have Progressive Insurance?

If you do, you contribute to the Brady Bunch.

George Soros
Ultra-Lib, Mass amounts of money....

Directly and through his organization Open Society Institute (OSI), he has funded various gun control organizations, such as the Tides Foundation, the HELP Network and SAFE Colorado. He and seven friends founded their own political committee — Campaign for a Progressive Future — and spent $2 million on political activities in 2000, including providing the prime financial backing for the Million Mom March. OSI has supported UN efforts to create international gun control regulations and has singled out the United States for failing to go along with the international gun-prohibitionists.

Progressive Insurance is actually owned by Peter Lewis.  Who is a friend of George Soros, and also a liberal anti-gun advocate.  And so yes, by purchasing Progressive Insurance you are supporting those groups.

Soros gave $3 million to the Center for American Progress, committed $5 million to MoveOn, while he and his friend Peter Lewis each gave America Coming Together $10 million. (All were groups that worked to support Democrats in the 2004 election.) On September 28, 2004 he dedicated more money to the campaign and kicked off his own multi-state tour with a speech: Why We Must Not Re-elect President Bush[18] delivered at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.

Word!  I would LOVE to buy a new manufacture full auto even at todays inflated full auto prices.  But a full auto at ACTUAL prices would be soooooo sweet!  I'm sure they would sell millions of new full autos in a very short period if it were allowed.  But would the full auto guys make a fuss and stand in the way since their $10,000 - $15,000 M16's would become $1000 M16's?  I could see some of the gun guys eat their own just to protect "their investment".  What about the value of a registered DIAS if we were allowed to purchase new full autos

Your post is incomprehensible due to a combination of spelling, grammar, and factual errors.  I recommend you use the spellcheck and preview buttons located next to the submit button (which you over-use).  

In addition, please read the text of the Miller decision and realize that it is not really a decision at all.  Then realize that there is no chance that a single USSC decision will nullify all gun laws.  They must be removed in the same way they were created:  piece by piece.

Once you have learned the above things, feel free to research any topic on which you would like to post.

Have a nice day.

ETA:  Saying things like "Most experts" is bullshit unless you extablish some numbers and WHY they are experts.  

Additionally, maybe you should crawl out from under the Oval Office desk and read up on what President Bush is doing that's causing us to want to kick his ass.  Maybe immigration amnesty, NOT actively fighting the anti's, and a host of other things that make his base regret electing him in the first place.

You could put me in this group, for sure.  However, given the alternatives in the past 2 elections(Kerry, Gore, McCain) I still think he was our best option.  It scares me beyond belief that the 2 republican front runners for '08 are McCain and Guliani(sp?).  2 of the most liberal "Republicans" out there....  Where are all the true conservatives?
