CombatEffective - This madness must stop!

What an odd nation we can be. On the one hand, the Supreme Court rules the gov't can reach in and take your land if Wal-Mart can pay more in property taxes (a notion I find ridiculous and antithetical to individual rights). On the other, the same court rules you have a right to own a firearm (presumably to defend that home and/or person and a notion I wholeheartedly support). Anybody see the conflict?

No conflict... : BissBoss Rob, I'm no legal scholar, but it seems to me that the Supreme Court has made a connection here... The tacit implication is that it's okay to shoot at the Walmart guys when they come to take your house! -BB- June 26, 2008 :: 08:05PM ... : dw I think that's why they pulled their convention out of Kansas City. We got mo better gun rights here. June 27, 2008 :: 06:00AM ummm : TRex who pulled their convention out of Kansas city? I must have missed some of that zombie state inducing political news. I think the connection they made, unfortunately, is that you can defend your property for the benifit of Wal-Mart, so it will be worth more to Wal-Mart when they have it taken from you. TRex June 27, 2008 :: 03:50PM inclined to agree with TRex's connection... : combat_rob_on_the_move I'm inclined, BB, to agree with TRex's interpretation. Could be I'm a bit cynic about it all, though. June 27, 2008 :: 05:41PM ... : dw Was OT and kiddin. The Mayor here was discussing direction of the city and mentioned the loss of a few hi profile conventions. Walmart was one. It's a no-brainer unless you think about it. Maybe we are just witnessing the chaos of progressives trying to do end runs around the Constitution while upholding the Constitution. I dunno. June 27, 2008 :: 06:14PM don't get it at all : dw I think the connection they made, unfortunately, is that you can defend your property for the benifit of Wal-Mart, so it will be worth more to Wal-Mart when they have it taken from you. Rex I had to think bout that sinse yesterday, and read some more before it finally sunk in. I don't understand how a Supreme Court can get away with ducking an issue we are all screaming about. But June 28, 2008 :: 05:43AM got analysis : TRex I did an analysis of the Supreme Court ruling on the second amendment on my blog. Obvious plug. TRex June 30, 2008 :: 06:59AM ... : dw : http://dead link Thanx fro that link TRex July 24, 2008 :: 05:07PM
