MSM editorial: repeal the Second Amendment

Not surprisingly, the MSM is going crazier than a Reynolds Wrap vendor at a Kos convention over the Supreme Court’s upholding the Second Amendment last week.  The Chicago fishwrap penned an editorial calling for a repeal of the Second Amendment, which they acknowledge will never happen.  Details here.

But here is probably the line that annoyed me the most from that editorial:

The damage in this ruling is that it takes a significant public policy issue out of the hands of citizens. The people of Washington no longer have the authority to decide that, as a matter of public safety, they will prohibit handgun possession within their borders.

The left just doesn’t get it, do they?  It doesn’t amount to a fart in a whirlwind what the residents of a city or state want if the end result is a trampling on the Constitution!  This is a nation of laws, and the supreme law of our land is the United States Constitution.  We are not a democracy, but we are a constitutional republic.  That may suck for the Chicago fishwrap newsroom, but it’s good news for normal America.

  1. I heard one commentator say that this ruling to the left is like the Roe decision for the right. The commentator said the left will use this issue as a litmus test for future judicial appointees like the right uses Roe.

    There is one BIG difference. The D.C Handgun case confirms an individual right specifically stated in the second amendment, where Roe is an interpreted right not specifically stated.

    The left will never see the obvious, and must twist things to meet their needs whether it is: laws, politics, religion or morality.
