I agree with Garmoon and Zoso, this may be a short term deal, I think we are indeed in store for 4-8 years of the "left coast lifestyle" politics and sentiments. Just remember, the average liberal can identify a gun 2 out of three times at 15 feet. It will be an interesting period of time to come in the next few years...

I agree completely with you guys, it is a tremendous victory for gun owners and all Americans (whether they realize it or not) but I to fear that it may be short lived. The problem is that the libs are more willing to put their money where their mouths are. And their mouths, minority or not, are extremely well funded. The NRA is virtually the only proponent we have in D.C whereas the anti-gunners have basically the whole town. I hope that it stands in the long run, but the battle wont end quietly.

Other than the high court affirming that individuals have the right to bear arms, little has changed. The NRA will go after towns like Morton Grove (and others with similar gun bans), but little more will happen. The gun control laws that are on the books will remain there. I suspect that municipalities that don't like citizens owning guns will strictly enforce having the guns registered and requiring permits. I doubt the left will ever learn that when you take guns away from honest citizens the crooks will still have theirs. I like the small town where I live. Other than not disturbing the neighbors at night, I can go out in the yard and do a little target practice about any time I like.

I can't see how the laws that are currently in place will stand once challenged in each offending state. It is clearly unconstitutional, period. They have been for the last 20+ years of which I am dumbfounded at how it lasted this long! How is it that a State, City, Province, District or whatever has the ability to take our rights as Americans away? They don't...that is what the constitution is here to protect. These municipalities have stepped on our necks long enough and by what I have read & discussed it is just a matter of time, no matter what party is in house. That is irrelevant as a House has no right to dismiss certain parts of the constitution they do not agree with!
Remember the ruling is from the Supreme Court and what they said is VERY clear and concise in reference to our liberties. They concluded the right to bare arms is an individual right of Americans, and the right to bare arms shall not be infringed, basically what the 2nd amendment states! Gun bans are now unconstitutional in places like DC, NY, Chicago, San Francisco, States even like CA who have wide spreading gun bans will all change coming soon as their laws directly go against the supreme court ruling.
Most, if not all of the speculated "ideas" of what the 2nd amendment meant has been laid to rest with the 157 page ruling outlined in today's current terms (not the BS they tried to spew of it only applying to muskets!), of which was intended by our forefathers. Finally there may be a time where an imaginary line on a map won't infringe upon our rights set by a States illegal law(s) against US Citizens. Though I have no issue with gun registration, gun licensing, mandatory weapon training and/or application to the Federal Government for a background check not unlike when applying for a Carry Concealment Permitance/Licensure.

Most of the laws that are in place don't ban weapons as did the DC, Chicago, San Francisco, and similar bans. The laws are there to try to insure weapons don't end up in the wrong hands. We know they do, but criminals don't pay much attention to gun laws. Laws are mostly for honest citizens. So, most of the current laws will stand. The laws can control how we acquire and use our weapons, just not ban them. Most places you can own a handgun, but without a permit, you can't carry it outside your home. You're even controled in how you transport guns and ammo. I took the course for concealed carry so I don't have to put up with a lot of the hassles. I just have to be careful of which states don't honor the permit. Most of the states in my part of the country honor it.

There is a book out that's called Travellers Guide To Gun Laws Of The 50 States. It gives you an overview of transporting your firearms in each state in plain english. Even shows the reciprocity for each states conceal permits. It gets updated every year.

I have to say that it is a very pleasant surprise to be having this discussion on AD. Even when we know that the anti-gun is the minority, very seldom is the opportunity given to share your views with others who feel the same as you outside of your normal surroundings. To find those who share your beliefs in a site dedicated to helping people with computer related problems is a breath of fresh air. Thanks be to Neph for starting the discussion and to all those willing to give their opinion.

The book is actually called Traveler's Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States. It touches on each states ownership, open carry, concealed carry, vehicle carry and transportation. I purchased one 4 years ago, and just ordered the 2008 edition, which came in yesterday.
This is their website: http://www.gunlawguide.com/

I'm not old enough to have a gun(my dad has rifles that I use lol), but I believe that if the right to bear arms is in the constitution then they should not be able to outlaw them.

Indiana is where I grew up before moving to Texas when I was 14. I had started the paperwork for my CCW, but just haven't had the time to finish it and take the classes. Always find something else I need the cash for.

I totally got ripped off on this rifle, but I was naive and didn't know any better :(

From my Air Force Buddy, Retired Sherriff from Arizona.
Quote: A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
I Thought you might appreciate this . .
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
------------------------------
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are 'citizens'.
Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.
