A small step in the right direction. There will be more cases to go before the courts to define the rulings of McDonald and Heller. What is upsetting is that the decision was 5-4 in both cases. They are about your constitutional right. This is not given to you by the government! If the Supremes were actually working on strict constitutional law it should be 9-0. It is Ironic how our forefathers felt the only other right that was more important than the second was the first. One and two should not be messed with. What would happen if the pissing contests were called of by the Government? Just my 2 cents.

the way i see the issue is, there is nothing wrong with our right to bear arms

guns don't commit crimes, people do

I see those who wish to ban guns as taking the lazy way out. much like the state workers at Scussett locking the gates at the east end instead of dealing with any issues with allowing access. The justice system needs to deal with lawbreakers who have illegal guns.

the more armed citizens there are to protect ourselves, the less likely to become a victim.

glad I live in a town that allows guns and does not discourage them.

Obama Can Shut Down Internet For 4 Months Under New Emergency Powers

‘Kill switch’ bill approved, moves to Senate floor

Paul Joseph Watson
Friday, June 25, 2010

President Obama will be handed the power to shut down the Internet for at least four months without Congressional oversight if the Senate votes for the infamous Internet ‘kill switch’ bill, which was approved by a key Senate committee yesterday and now moves to the floor.

I am aware of the bill. Hopefully it will not make it off the floor. I hope the people of this country wake up! We are the ones who are responsible for putting the politicians in office. Not a big fan of either party at this point in time but, we need more repubs. in office. No checks and balance!
