Hey Baltimore, how’s all that liberal anti gun anti police working out for you.

Takes fly over states to force you to be American and respect the constitution.

There is little hope you will change.

I thought that McDonald already answered this question. No?

Mcdonald decision was that 2A applied to the states.
Heller decision was that the 2A was an individual right.
The court has thus far avoided the issue of whether 2A guarantees the right to bear arms outside the home.

Well that amicus brief was well written and to the point. You have to willfully and knowingly disregard the Founders' intent to come to any different conclusion.

I like to do a Founding Fathers type of quote on the back of our Christmas card every year.

Here's the 2019 version....


Although, I did go with a more contemporary Churchill quote last year...
