DC v. Heller Decision

[CurrieS103]

I wish that I were an artist....just got a vision for a political cartoon.

Does anyone remember a  movie about a group of folks moving a giant cannon through the countryside to bring it to bear against a large fort or castle?  I believe it may have been in Spain.  The folks with the cannon were the good guys, the fort the oppressors.

I remember 3 big things about the movie....that big cannon and Sophia Loren.

Anyway, my vision is to have the Cannon labeled Heller Decision and the Fort labeled Anti-Gun Establishment.  The folks who are moving the Cannon into position are labeled  The People.

Have figures in the ramparts of the Fort labeled Biased Media, Anti-Gun Politicians, Anti-gun Laws, and what ever can be thought of.


Note:  I found the movie  The Pride and the Passion.  It was about the invasion of Spain by Napoleon.  The Cannon was a weapon lost by the French and recovered by the Spanish defenders and used against the invaders.  Fits even better.

Great comparison.  I think it would be a great flick to remake and show the Brady folks...Angelina Jolie could sub for Sophia Loren.

Does the 2nd Amendment trump civil liability law suits?   In Scalia's opinion he said that "trigger locks" (or disassembled) is violates the 2nd. 

With that being said, you think Smith & Wesson will take that internal lock off their guns?!? 

Lot of battles to be fought.  Keep writing your representatives!  Never quit.  Never surrender.  Never.

Gun control still in force, chief says
Semiautomatics banned
The Supreme Court decision overturning the District's handgun ban won't trigger an open season for guns, Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said Friday, because D.C. law still bans all semiautomatic weapons — such as the common 9 mm pistols used by police and the military.

Is there a legal definition of 'home'.  Does it refer strictly to a structure or does it include all property?

[1776 Rebel]

"Apart from his challenge to the handgun ban and the
trigger-lock requirement respondent asked the District
Court to enjoin petitioners from enforcing the separate
licensing requirement “in such a manner as to forbid the
carrying of a firearm within one’s home or possessed land
without a license.” App. 59a."

Pg 61 of decision.

From the above I suspect it applies to all real property...

1776,

THANKS!  I had not seen that before.  If'n I lived in DC I'd drive 'em crazy.  Get me the biggest hand cannon I could and strap it on.  Wear it while sweeping the steps, watering the posies, etc!

This ought do the job...

Yep, that'd fill the bill nicely.
