Radical
Tennessee lawmakers, like those in other state Legislatures now pursuing the National Rifle Association’s radical agenda, have far too little concern for the “well-regulated militia” side of the Second Amendment’s gun rights.
The right to arms is not contingent upon membership in a well-regulated militia. Heller settled that. And:
If they thought about it, they would require a range of regulations that could vastly help law enforcement keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
Well, it is illegal for criminals to have guns.
Via ACK.

Regulation: to fix; determine: shape or influence; give direction to.
Government doesn’t fix, it destroys. Lets start calling these laws what they are, because gun control isn’t regulation.

They lie and call the stodgy, old, conservative NRA radical to cover their own radical anti-gun agenda. Marxists often turn the truth upside down when it serves their agenda. The NRA is as radical as Mom, apple pie, and the American flag – all disturbing things to Marxists who want to see gay marriage, tofu and a Che Guevara T-shirt as normal.

If people in Journalism were smart or disciplined enough to actually do research, they would stop trying to push this idea that the NRA is a radical organization and recognize that the NRA is the LEAST radical civil rights group out there and the ones who are least like to start promoting the use of force against these dopes.
No disrespect towards the other Gun-right groups or anything.I’ve been and advocate of violence against those that would subvert the constitution and our civil rights for years.

Uncle, you are assuming the reporter even knew about Heller or read what it said.
The NRA is an easy target to go after. It is a simple go to name.
The press also bashed the NRA for the Heller case when it was not even the NRA’s case.

I meant to add, the reporter had to know about Heller before hand because it is obvious he did not bother to do research to write it.

“Well, it is illegal for criminals to have guns.”
Well, yes it is illegal, but not unconstitutional.

Huh? With the exception of slavery, and possibly of importing alcohol into dry counties, nothing is unconstitutional for criminals, the law-abiding, or anyone else other than government.

So if Heller had gone the other way, you’d concede that the right to arms is contingent upon membership in a well-regulated militia? Somehow, I don’t think so.

was there a point in there somewhere?
