White House Anti-Gun Agenda Being Argued In Supreme Court

It’s official Obama was lying, and now the White House Anti-Gun Agenda is set to be argued in Supreme Court.

The long-awaited challenge to Chicago’s handgun ban will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on March 2, 2010 and already it is looking like everyone, on both sides of the issue, anticipates that the justices will rule that the Second Amendment is incorporated through the 14th Amendment as a barrier to local gun bans.

Even anti-gunners appear to realize the notion that the Amendment is incorporated, but want the justices to leave enough wiggle room in their ruling to allow most, if not all, existing gun control laws to stand.

Alan Gura noted during a press conference at the annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show that the case “would not have happened without the support” of the Second Amendment Foundation, and toward the end of the conference, he encouraged people to contribute to SAF “and take a new person shooting.”

Attorney Alan Gura, argued the landmark Heller case before the U.S. Supreme Court almost two years ago. The case of McDonald v. City of Chicago is one of two challenges filed against the Chicago handgun ban within 24 hours of the Heller ruling. Gura is representing the Bellevue, WA-based Second Amendment Foundation and Illinois State Rifle Association, and four individual Chicago residents.

This leaves many hard-core gun rights advocates once again demanding, “What part of shall-not-be-infringed don’t you understand?”

Obama said “I’m not going to take your guns away” and “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear…I think people can take me at my word.”

I wouldn’t take Obama’s word if he said it rains a lot in Seattle. Apparently, law-abiding gun owners have nothing to fear unless they own sport-utility rifles, semiautomatic shotguns, handguns and any other firearm that Obama and his anti-gun attorney general don’t like.

Obama sent Holder to the Senate to detail his support for a national gun owner registration scheme and authorizing the government to ban firearm possession for any person by merely adding that person’s name to the terror watch list.

Attorney General Holder aggressively detailed the Obama anti-gun agenda in

Holder’s public statements before the Senate Judiciary Committee:

• Holder wants national, permanent gun registration system.
• Holder wants new federal authority to prohibit any person on the federal watch list (reported to be 400,000 names) from buying guns and supports confiscating guns from those on the list who possess them.
