4 Supreme Court Justices Are Too Stupid To Be There

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a sweeping ban on handguns in the nation's capital violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

A gun ownership supporter holds a placard in March outside the Supreme Court in Washington.

The justices voted 5-4 against the ban, with Justice Antonin Scalia writing the opinion for the majority.

At issue in District of Columbia v. Heller was whether Washington's ban violated the right to "keep and bear arms" by preventing individuals -- as opposed to state militias -- from having guns in their homes.

"Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security and where gun violence is a serious problem," Scalia wrote. "That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct."

Here’s the PDF of Justice Scalia’s opinion piece.

Now, one could argue about gun rights ALL DAY LONG, but the simple fact remains is that the Second Amendment specifically states:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

That’s right, 4 Supreme Court Justices could not understand the meaning of that simple sentence.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

You have the right to own a firearm.  You have the right to do whatever you’d like with it, legally.  Liberals, listen up;  That means that someone can purchase a weapon, AND IT DOESN’T MATTER WHY.

That means, that your argument of “why do you need something like that” has been struck down.  You people, liberals I mean, like to tout the First Amendment all day long, but when it comes to the Second, you want to restrict it.  That’s hypocritical of the highest sort.

I own several weapons, and even if this ruling had gone the other way, I would not have given up my weapons (even though that wasn’t about this case).  I have the inalienable right to own a firearm, and I will own one until the day I die.

You NEED people like me in the United States.  We are your neighbors.  We are the ones who help you out when times get rough.  We are the ones who pull our weapons when bad guys are robbing a bank, mugging, or raping you.  And what’s worse, is how do you pay back everyday heroes like that?  You try to take their tools that they use to keep bad guys at bay.  Good plan idiots.

Here’s a list of Justices who tried to take away your Constitutional rights:

John Paul Stevens

David Hackett Souter

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Stephen G. Breyer

These people are THAT stupid.  God, I wish I were making this up.
