John Lott's Website: Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens unintentionally shows that the 2nd Amendment wasn't meant to just guarantee weapons for the militia



A very interesting article.  John Lott (Author of More Guns, Less Crime) made an interesting argument to the effect of that the statement of wanting to make the amendment "serving militia" only, then in a roundabout way former Justice Stevens is himself admitting that the 2nd amendment is about civilian possession of firearms.

The Liberal Gun Club

This is an interesting read.  Yahoo News: A Gun Club for Liberals: The Un-NRA 

I'm not happy how they color conservatives, but I do know some gun owners like that.  (To be fair, most gun owners I know tend to be more libertarian.)

But, not much time to research this.  I've got to run, so I'll leave without further comment.

Killing of Burleston County Deputy was No Billed.

This is a very interesting article.

Man charged with killing Burleson County Deputy No Billed by Grand Jury

In short, the agency did a "No Knock" entry on his trailer.  The man responded by opening fire with his legally owned firearm.  Mr. McGee's argument was that he was protecting the life of his pregnant girlfriend, and the jury bought that argument.

Please note that the Felony drug charges against Mr. MaGee have proceeded forward, so the man is neither scott free nor clean in my book.

There have been a small handful of self defense arguments where raids end badly for Law Enforcement and turn up no evidence.  With this court decision, I wonder if these arguments will end up at the Supreme Court.
