The U.S. Supreme Court, in the summer of 2010, reaffirmed that the reach of the Second Amendment extends beyond Washington DC and applies to all 50 states. This ruling was triggered by Otis McDonald in defending his right to have a firearm for home defense - which the government of the city of Chicago would not allow. Subquently, Wisconsin District Attorney Gerald Fox announced that as the result of the Supreme Court ruling, he would no longer prosecute non-violent infractions of his state's gun laws.
"This Supreme Court ruling is binding on all the states and local governments and immediately renders some of Wisconsin's current laws unconstitutional," Fox said. He has decided not to enforce or prosecute infractions of the following state laws.
1. Section 167.31, prohibiting uncased or loaded firearms in vehicles.
2. Section 941.23, prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons, including
firearms.
3. Section 941.235, prohibiting the possession of firearms in public buildings.
4. Section 941.237, prohibiting the possession of firearms in establishments where
alcohol may sold or served.
5. Section 941.24, prohibiting the possession of knives that open with a button,
or by gravity, or thrust, or movement.
Fox said that all of these statutes represent "unjustifiable infringement" of the fundamental right of every law-abiding American to arm themselves for self-defense and the defense of their "loved ones, co-workers, homes, and communities."
Fox is a registered Democrat who clearly understands the history and importance of the Second Amendment.
"If you remember our history, it wasn't freedom of the press or freedom of association that won us our independence from Great Britain," Fox said on a radio interview, "It was the individual citizens standing together at Lexington and Concord to protect their stores of ammunition from the British who were there to confiscate it."
"To me, it's no accident that Washington, DC, and Chicago, Illinois, are two of the most dangerous places to live." Fox said, "It's because they don't trust their citizens to protect themselves."
The foregoing was taken from The Gun Owners, a publication of Gun Owners of America.
What Fox said is absolutely true and should be the policy of every district attorney in the U.S. until all of the unconstitutional gun laws have been repealed. All of those laws are contrary to the Constitution of the United States and were put in place by those who were attempting to steal our rights as citizens and to remove the supremacy of our Constitution. In truth, many of those people were (or are) communists and traitors to our nation. Of course, they call themselves by other names.
We need people in places like California and Michigan particularly (currently nests of
communists and their useful idiots) that will
work to uphold the U.S. Constitution. John D'Agostini, candidate for sheriff in El Dorado
County (California), is a good example of the type of people we need in the state of the Golden
Grizzly. John believes in a partnership of the people with law enforcement and plans
to build community trust so that his deputies can work with the residents and business
owners to solve community problems. He plans to "restore customer service and increase
respect for civil rights" as well as providing a "politics free" policy for carrying
concealed weapons. There are many more patriotic people in California and the nation.
They must be voted into office for us to reclaim our liberties.
