NRA Taking the Fight to Obama's Home Turf
With the Supreme Court's ruling today looked at as a major victory, the NRA is now setting it's sights on upending the gun ban in the city of Chicago.
Via Jim Geraghty.
Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, was on Fox News a moment ago and said the NRA will (I'm paraphrasing) take this decision and restore the Second Amendment to all Americans... by filing suit in Chicago against their handgun ban.
Wonder what Barack Obama thinks about that.
I bet he's just thrilled! ;)

Gun Bans have to go!
Gun bans in any city are obviously unconstitutional. I understand putting some limits like regisration for instance, but outright bans have to go thanks to the latest Supreme Court ruling.

I actually agree with
I actually agree with everything Obama said after he said that he supported ban. However Obama did say he supported the DC gun band. Now trying to say the Court agreed with him is a lie. Once again Obama has forgoten what he said in an earlier interview. This guy needs to stop lying it's easier to keep what you say straight.

HERO
A crappy fighter pilot who gives information to the enemy is not a HERO!
Re HERO
Jackalope.Welcome to BFJM!
Re your post:"A crappy fighter pilot who gives information to the enemy is not a HERO!"
Was that before this?
" He was held from 1967 to 1973, experiencing episodes of torture and refusing an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer; his war wounds would leave him with some lifelong physical limitations."
Or After This?
In August of 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain. McCain was subjected to repeated beatings and rope bindings, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery. After four days, McCain made an anti-American propaganda "confession". He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he would later write, "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine." His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head. He subsequently received two to three beatings per week because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements.Other American POWs were similarly tortured and maltreated in order to extract "confessions" and propaganda statements, with many enduring even worse treatment than McCain.
I was just wondering if you actually bothered to look in to the details before posting.
Again Welcome and keep reading.
I did
I did look into the details. Graduated in the bottom 1% of his class at Annapolis, but somehow made it to a pilot on an aircraft carrier (an honor usually reserved for people in the top of their class). Average at best pilot, (lost 5 planes in his career). Was considered by his captors as "royalty" due to his father being commander of US forces in Vietnam, and his grandfather also being an Admirmal during WWII. Seems to me that McCain is alot like Bush, never really accomplished anything without the power of their family. And considering what Vietnam did to my father mentally and others that he knows, I'm not sure we need someone as possibly unstable as John McCain III as president, I have heard that some in DC call him "Insane McCain". But hey, thanks for the welcome! Glad to be here!
Re: I did
You forgot the part where he was tortured in to signing a false confession and what a royal treatment that was. Gotta be a tough bastard to lose 5 planes and still be kicking.
Sincerely, welcome again and keep posting. You may change your mind eventually but I kind of doubt it. :)
Your Research
What was the name of that pro-BHO site you used to conduct your research?
BHO?
BHO? Is that like BTO? That was a good band.
Tough? Eh., Lucky? Yeah!
Hey look, I don't hate the man. And I think what happend to him in South Carolina in 2000 sucked. Bush is the WORST president this country has ever had. Are you really afraid of a small group of radicals living out in some huts in a sand dune somewhere? I'm not. All I want a president to stand up and give us pride in this country, to hell with them all in the middle east, I don't care about them (sorry Isralies, but you have a really big army and nukes, you don't need us). We need to fix our house. In the 1960's the USA went from nothing to the moon in 8 years, are you telling me that this great country (the country that invented the light bulb, mass production, airplanes, computers) cannot figure out a better option than fossil fuels? If John McCain would be for getting OUR money out of these endevors that favor big business, and turn that money back into this country with reasearch, better education, fixing our infrustructure, and creating good jobs here, I would vote for him in a second. I'm not a democrat either, I have issues with both parties, mainly the fact that they seem to love money and power more than this country.
