Justice will be served by a trial before a jury of peers in a court of law therefore we don't respond to mob justice. Those days of lynch mobs are gone, relegated to our distant and more violent past...except maybe in Kalifornia:<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE66763A20100709">No Hanging? We're Gonna Break Some Windows!</a><br /><br />There was going to be a riot regardless of the verdict. Guilt of murder, guilty of manslaughter, not-guilty...it wouldn't make a difference in the activity on the street. A black man got shot by a white man. The black man had been involved in activities which resulted in a police intervention. The black man resisted the law enforcement officer at least to the extent that he was going to get Tazed.<br /><br />The white policeman, however, was apparently not adequately trained for his position. He drew his pistol rather than his Taser and without discerning the difference in size, weight, configuration, position on his belt, etc he employed the pistol, killing the alleged criminal. Apparently basics like sight acquistion were not ingrained either or he might have noted the difference in equipment visually if not by feel.<br /><br />The trial, with a change of venue, examined the evidence. It is unlikely that the rioters did the same. The judge explained the elements of the law which apply to murder in the first degree. There is no way that there could have been pre-meditation or malicious intent. There was manifest incompetence. The verdict reflected that conclusion.<br /><br />So, quite predictably the culture of victimization rampant in the minority neighborhoods of America responded by complaining to the state. They did so by taking to the streets and victimizing innocent property owners who are totally unrelated to the events in question.<br /><br />How's your justice thing working out?<br /><br />And, along the way there is no sheriff in Alameda Country or Oakland California who was prepared to stand up to the crowd until after the damage was done.

Chicago SummarizedHere are the basics of the decision: <br /><br />The right to keep and bear arms (RKBA) is recognized as a "fundamental right," which places it on par with freedom of speech and freedom of religion, among others. This categorization warrants "strict scrutiny" in appurtenant cases. <br /><br />Strict scrutiny won't necessarily void gun registration schemes, but it will void outright bans, discretionary licensing requirements (see Scalia's discussion of "arbitrary and capricious" licensing requirements in Heller), and prohibitive taxes or licensing fees.<br /><br />It should also void the Lautenberg Amendment, which extend the class of prohibited persons to those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence crimes. <br /><br />The court's recognition of the Second Amendment as protecting the RKBA especially as it relates to the right of self defense should also negate the "sporting purposes" requirement in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922.2.<br /><br />McDonald did NOT strike down Chicago's handgun ban. Rather, it remanded the case to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which had previously upheld the trial court's dismissal of the case. <br /><br />It's quite possible that Chicago will revise the law to bring it into what it feels is compliance with the constitution, but this fight isn't over by a long shot. <br /><br />Aside from the Chicago law, others are now ripe for being challenged, including the draconian and arbitrary pistol ownership licensing schemes in places like NYC, CA, and NJ. Additionally, the assault weapons bans in NY, NJ and CA are in jeopardy.<br /><br />With the Second Amendment now recognized as protecting a fundamental right, discretionary carry license laws such as those in NY, NJ, MD, and CA may also eventually be replaced with shall-issue laws.The Commanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11560663669717773413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225338343374638753.post-18518252383392179782010-06-29T06:23:00.000-07:002010-06-29T06:26:54.965-07:00As if on Cue....<span style="font-family:arial;">"Mayor" Daley of Chicago declares his insistence to put new gun laws in place that will make it difficult to buy guns in Chicago - even after the Supremes affirmed the right to do so against all political subdivisions.

Chief Justice Roberts voted with the majority.<br />Two years ago, the court declared that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess guns, at least for purposes of self-defense in the home. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">That ruling applied only to federal laws. It struck down a ban on handguns and a trigger lock requirement for other guns in the District of Columbia, a federal city with a unique legal standing. At the same time, the court was careful not to cast doubt on other regulations of firearms here.<br />Gun rights proponents almost immediately filed a federal lawsuit challenging gun control laws in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill, where handguns have been banned for nearly 30 years. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence says those laws appear to be the last two remaining outright bans. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Lower federal courts upheld the two laws, noting that judges on those benches were bound by Supreme Court precedent and that it would be up to the high court justices to ultimately rule on the true reach of the Second Amendment. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The Supreme Court already has said that most of the guarantees in the Bill of Rights serve as a check on state and local, as well as federal, laws. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Monday's decision did not explicitly strike down the Chicago area laws, ordering a federal appeals court to reconsider its ruling. But it left little doubt that they would eventually fall. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Still, Alito noted that the declaration that the Second Amendment is fully binding on states and cities "limits (but by no means eliminates) their ability to devise solutions to social problems that suit local needs and values."</span>The Commanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11560663669717773413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225338343374638753.post-32406239208373700622010-06-22T08:00:00.000-07:002010-06-22T08:03:59.634-07:00The All Around Perfect Rifle<a href="http://www.icollector.com/images/1159/14769/14769_0305_1_lg.jpg">http://www.icollector.com/images/1159/14769/14769_0305_1_lg.jpg</a><br /><br />Its powerful.
