In reply to the discussion: Judge blocks New York ban on guns in houses of worship [View all]slightlv
(7,816 posts)14. oh, no... I beg to differ...
Notice how guns are permitted everywhere BUT state legislatures, Congress (at least they're not *suppose* to carry them on to the floor), courtrooms, etc.
IOW, these judges are making sure that THEIR branch of the government is completely protected. Why the hell we can't get the same type of protection... well, I guess that's just another aspect of the "Two Americas."

Wasn't it Trump who said the colonists "took over the airports" in the Revolutionary War?

If a 700lb Grizzly bear was charging me, I am pretty sure I would want a semi-auto..

Getting a kill shot with one bullet on a charging bear would be quite the accomplishment.

Hunters usually aren't shooting at a charging bear, they usually stalk the bear

Apparently, yes. So its much ado about nothing. Just post a sign if you don't want it.

So the judge wants to have dead citizens of various denominations in any house of worship?

What if the church posts a "no weapons" sign? Don't they have that right too?

F**k these crazy judges and 'historical tradition'. Where were the AR-15s in 1787?

Well then, maybe Thomas should move to block the ban on guns in The U.S. Supreme Court too.
