Cute cartoon.
Not such a cute subject, though...
The Supreme Court has heard arguments in the case of Heller v. District of Columbia, a case that could have far-reaching impact as to the right of the people to commit suicide by homeowner.
Observers are saying that the Court appears to be leaning toward a finding that the Second Amendment is an individual rather than a collective right. If this proves to be the case, it would be a major victory for gun-rights proponents who have long argued that the founding fathers' original intent was to recognize that individual Americans were their own first-responders and the they had always had the right and moral obligation to defend themselves, their families, and their property.
States have been wittling away at this right for years and the media has been utilizing the First Amendment to suppress the Second. Both sides of the debate have long been waiting for a case to make it all the way to the Supreme Court. It is hoped, the court will provide a solid legal clarification of the meaning of the Second Amendment which reads:
"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."
Our reporters and staff here at Paddy's Pad are all over this case from every angle, and we will keep you updated as to the progess of this case as it pertains to your right to purchase a lead-injector of your very own.
God bless....
