“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
-Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
The day after SCOTUS rules that Heller was wrongly decided the BATF will be out harassing our people and confiscating their firearms.
.
You’re as ridiculous as you are ignorant and pathetic.
Firearms were not being ‘confiscated’ prior the
Heller.
In fact, any law enacted to ‘authorize’ the ‘confiscation’ of guns would be struck down by the courts as un-Constitutional – a violation of both the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
Moreover, any appointments to the Supreme Court made by Clinton will have no desire to overturn
Heller/McDonald – there’d be no reason to do so.
Liberals consider
Heller/McDonald settled and accepted, they are in complete agreement with current Second Amendment jurisprudence, which holds that although the Second Amendment right is an inalienable individual right, it is a right that is not unlimited, it is subject to reasonable restrictions by government.
Consequently, your thread premise is an idiotic lie.
