Gun Porn

One of my dearest friends in the world happens to work for one of the good lawmakers in DC, and I thought I'd put his comment at the forefront since it was hidden on my previous post. Thanks, Sean, and tell your boss we're all glad he supports common sense. Here it is:

Rep. Barton: Supreme Court gun ban ruling “restores freedom”WASHINGTON – Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the District’s handgun ban violates the Second Amendment:

“It’s about time this law was struck down. It only makes sense that people should be able to defend themselves in their own homes. The Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights states “the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” It doesn’t mention geographical boundaries. However, for more than 30 years this law has kept guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens in our Nation’s Capital. At the same time the arsenal carried by criminals has grown and intensified and Washington, D.C. has consistently been identified as the “murder capital” of the U.S. The gun ban did little to protect the citizens of the city and instead made them criminals if they chose to protect themselves with a firearm. It also infringed on the rights of hunters, sportsmen and weapons collectors. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn this ineffective and draconian gun ban not only makes sense, it also restores the freedom to all citizens granted by our Constitution.I hope this sets a precedent for future Court decisions and that judges on all levels will follow the Constitution when it comes to ruling on an individual’s rights.”

Since I'm giddy like a schoolboy over this decision, I thought I'd post some gun porn...uh, pictures, of some classics. Both of which I happen to own and will soon fondle gleefully. CZ
