Thanks for the welcome back. I monitor the thread from time to time. Tim's message to me was the first that interested me.
I am not predicting about a police state if Obama is elected, liberal or otherwise. I'm talking about loss of personal rights, and with that, loss of freedom.
In the recent Supreme Court decision of DC vs. Heller, four out of nine justices held that the Second Amendment, the meaning of which is unmistakable, did NOT mean what it says, i.e. "the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." It only takes ONE Ginsburg/Kennedy-like Obama appointment to turn that around.
The United States of America is THE ONLY country in the world with the equivalent of the Second Amendment, and that is one of the things that Obama will work to change in the wrong direction.
Obama frames himself as a citizen of the world and goes around campaigning in foreign countries, delivering 'major policy speeches' over that which he has no authority.
Yes, I am scared to death of what an Obama administration will do to this country while he tries to 'perfect' it.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. ___ (2008) is a legal case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for private use. It was the first Supreme Court case in United States history to address directly whether the right to keep and bear arms is a right of individuals or a collective right that applies only to state-regulated militias.
On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Parker v. District of Columbia, 478 F.3d 370 (D.C. Cir. 2007).[1] The Court of Appeals had struck down provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 as unconstitutional, and determined that handguns are "Arms" that may not be banned by the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.), also striking down the portion of the law that requires all firearms including rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock."
