Cities like Chicago and DC were the highest in the nation for murders when there was a ban in place. When DC removed the ban their murders went down by a huge percentage. Bans don't work. Education does.
Proof that Sonia Sotomayor is not qualified for the Court:
SOTOMAYOR: “I can find nothing in the Second Amendment’s text, history, or underlying rationale that could warrant characterizing it as ‘fundamental’ insofar as it seeks to protect the keeping and bearing of arms for private self-defense purposes.”
Clueless.
really ????

Yeah... I don't mind cities creating laws like this, but it's hard to disagree with the ruling.
I do find it funny however, when they don't agree with federal laws on issues, they scream "STATES' RIGHTS!", but with issues like this, States/City rights shouldn't exist.

Does Australia have the gang problems that American large cities have?
While I don't agree with her on that statement (not sure what the context was), to say that she isn't "qualified" for the Court is a ridiculously ignorant statement.

Roos vs wombats is about as hard-core as gang violence gets. Remember, everything is poisonous in Australia, even bullets.

Probably a little different than the Vice Lords vs. MS13?
Her inability to define something this simple says it all.

That is part of it. He can do things like raise taxes to the point where things are so expensive that people won't be able to afford them. He was looking at registering each round of ammo, effectively ending the hobby of reloading. He was also looking at creating a HUGE tax on ammo. Some of his supporters are trying to pass laws that make you hold a minimum of $1M liability insurance if you own firearms, even though no insurance company currently has that policy available. Funny that minimum auto insurance in my state is $40k.
So there are plenty of backdoor policies he can still try to push through.
the main reforms were the the ban on semi-automatic rifles and pump action shotguns, accompanied by gun amnesties and two national buybacks. around 820,000 guns were destroyed. it was recognized that semi-automatics are the guns of choice for those intent on killing many people quickly. John Howard (who was the then PM of Australia), introduced the reforms to prevent US-style mass killings.
In the 14 years since the law reforms, there have been no mass shootings.
That is fear mongering at it's best... No wonder there was a run on guns since he was elected. Until any of these laws are seriously brought forward from the administration or democratic leadership as bills, it's just fear mongering bullshit.
"He's looking at..." where is the proof of any of that?

Oh, i took it that like other than rifle's all guns were confisacted or turn over. but this was something i read a long time ago. i do remember that the year after it happened there was like only 4 gun related deaths in Australia , which is like the what will happen in the next 12 hours here in the u.s.a.
The Bill of Rights should have a hole shot through it, right where the 2nd Amendment is.
cool info,thanks !

And while I'm at it: Why are they called arms? :?
This is completely meaningless today. The state militias, thought important to preserve at the time, have long been absorbed into the National Guard. What this amendment did was keep the Federal Govt out of each state's business when it came to the regulation of firearms.
If it means that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms, then why are rocket launchers and machine guns banned? And if they can be banned, why can't any state or city ban handguns? Perhaps only the types of arms that were available at the time, like flintlock muskets and sabers, should be kept and borne?
It's just yet another bankrupt decision put together by justices who have histories of insane opinions, as well as boorish behavior...
That is one issue I have with the 2nd amendment folks... where is the line? Handguns, ok... high capacity semi-automatic weapons, ok... automatic weapons, ok... how about rocket launcher? howitzers? tanks? It seems like they will always push for more.
City bans on certain weapons don't work though... It's like banning alcohol when the all of the stores outside of the city lines sell it.
