This Day in History
June 26th, 2008 will be remembered as a very famous day in History. Today, for the first time, the SCOTUS has acknowledged that the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives individuals a right to keep and bear arms. In a case that strikes down D.C.’s handgun ban as unconstitutional, the Court ruled the Constitution does not allow “the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home.” A victory for law-abiding American citizens and a resounding defeat for elitists like Barack Obama who say we’re not allowed to defend ourselves.
Obama is surrounded with armed guards every minute of the day, but he doesn’t think poor people should be able to defend themselves from criminals. Make sure you think about that when you go to the voting booth because the next President could appoint two or more U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
