Everitt's article also claimed that prior to the summer of 2010 (when the Supreme Court ruled on the McDonald v. City of Chicago case), "you would have had to explore the darkest corners of the gun rights movement to find anyone openly exclaiming that 'gun control is racist.'” Since a great many of us have been shouting that message a great deal longer than that, there would seem to have been rather a crowd of "darkest corners." Professor Winkler apparently missed the summer of 2010 deadline for "darkest corner" status, but if he drops the "Tea Party's Gun Problem" silliness, he's welcome as an honorary "dark corner," regardless. CSGV's and friends' most desperate efforts notwithstanding, we shall overcome.

Dear Mark Burnett, With the midterm elections behind us, Obama’s first two rivals have made their intent to run for president pretty clear. It’s not Bloomberg or Huckabee. It’s Sarah Palin and Donald Trump.

BuzzFlash" editor Mark Karlin apparently believes the Supreme Court's decision in the McDonald v.

As it happens, though, there is nothing inconsistent in supporting both state sovereignty and federal enforcement of the "bear" in right to keep and bear arms. In District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court made Constitutional protection of the individual's right to keep and bear arms a settled point of Constitutional law. In McDonald v. City of Chicago, the court confirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the rights protected by the Second Amendment against state and local governments. Yes--there's hypocrisy in this debate, but not on the part of those who advocate both the Tenth Amendment and federal enforcement of the Second Amendment.

Reverend Al Sharpton states that callers to his show the day after the Supreme Court's announcement of the McDonald v. Chicago decision were "overwhelmingly" (90% or so) in favor of it: "I would say 90% of the calls I received yesterday were in support of the Supreme Court and people say they want to bear guns."

Listen to what Donald Trump has to say about China. He makes more sense than most of the politicians we have now. Maybe he should run for president. I actually hope he runs for election and wins. ... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
