By now it is a familiar scene.
A group of politicians and law enforcement officials gather to bemoan another outbreak of gun violence. This time it was a basketball court at the Bennett Homes housing project in Chester. District Attorney Jack Whelan led a phalanx of officials and lawmen to bemoan still another spike in gun violence in Chester. They stood on the court, where just a few nights before gunmen had sprayed the court with gunfire. It was part of one more violent weekend in the city, one where police were investigating as many as five shooting incidents that left eight people injured. Thankfully, none of the injuries were considered life-threatening. |

Hey. Task THIS.
Prior Restraint forbids interfering with a person's rights without a) a crime having been committed and b) without following due process of law.
The ONLY effective way to deal with "gun violence" is to meet it with equal (or superior) force at the point of contact, in flangrante delicto.
Natural law. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
