A rare victory for those of us who love America, and respect the U.S. Constitution, was scored when a federal appeals court tossed out Washington D.C.'s police-state gun law, in a ruling that opens the door for the Supreme Court to settle once and for all, whether the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms belongs to the individual as the Amendment says, or to the state, as the promoters of a Police State say.
And right there on the side of the Constitution is Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox.
While prosecutors aren't often the best friends of the Second Amendment, Mike Cox joined the challenge to the D.C. gun ban along with a dozen of other state attorneys general for two reasons: “It's unconstitutional, and it doesn't work”. Attorney General Cox used to be pro gun-ban or anti-gun, but in spite of the fact that he is not personally fond of guns himself, he admits that laws against guns do not stop crime, they instead enable it.
The Washington D.C. gun law could just as well have been written by the Taliban or any other oppressive government, it forbids any private handguns within the city limits. No exceptions, unless one is a Federal Government official, which also sounds like a Police State Dictatorship.
Long gun owners do not fare much better. Rifles and shotguns can be kept in private homes, but only if they are disassembled or disabled. The guns cannot be made operable, even in defence of ones own life, even in ones own home, not legally anyway.
The strictest gun law in the nation is worshipped by anti-American, anti-Constitutionalists, and anti-gun activists. The District of Columbia defended the Constitutionality of the 30 year old unconstitutional anti-gun law by arguing that the Second Amendment confers the right of gun ownership to the state and not to the people or the citizens. Obviously they haven’t read the Amendment themselves, or their history book either That perverse ruling was upheld by a federal district court judge, as it was earlier in a similar ruling by the ultra-left-wing America hating 9th Circuit court of appeals in San Francisco California.
Most Constitutional Attorneys concur that if the Framers intended that purpose of just this one Amendment was to address the right of the Government rather than the right of people as the rest of the bill-of-rights do; that it would not have been included at all, since it was a given that the Government would always retain the right to keep and bear arms for the National Defence, or as in the case of State militias the defence of the State. However it was noted that it would not necessarily be understood that the separate individual right of “the people” would automatically have that same right, hence the second Amendment to insure the same right to” the people” as well, as it is so amply stated in the document.
Thomas Cooley supported self-defense of the individual and the defence of freedom which is ultimately left up to the individual collective or not. The resent D.C. appeals court ruling quoted Michigan's 19th-century legal genius Thomas Cooley, who wrote of the Second Amendment: "It might be misconstrued from the phraseology that the right to keep and bear arms was only guaranteed to the militia; but this would be an ignorant interpretation of the law, not warranted by the intent. The meaning ... undoubtedly is that the individual people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms, as the Amendment clearly states.” (Italics mine)
Michigan Attorney General Michael Cox concurs that the words "the people" mean just that; the people. He hopes the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the case and knock out for good, the sinister idea that only state militias have the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Traditionally at the time the Constitution was written, State Militias were made up of individual private citizen volunteers. [“THE PEOPLE”]
But it's not just the twisting of the Constitution that interested Cox in this case. He has moved from a pro-gun control prosecutor to an advocate for the rights of gun owners for one reason because he has seen firsthand that more gun laws don't result in less gun crime. "In my almost 14 years as a line prosecutor, I never saw anyone charged with a gun crime that had a concealed carry permit," Cox went on to say, "most people who are law-abiding and want to possess guns for hunting or self-defense are no threat to others."
While the D.C. case parsed constitutional language, “the most compelling argument”, Cox said, “is that gun control it doesn't work. Gun violence in Washington was increased by the ban, compared to other states, after the ban Washington actually went on to become the gun crime capital of the country.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: Law-abiding gun owners should salute A.G. Mike Cox and keep their trigger fingers crossed that the Supreme Court will at last end this assault on their basic inalienable Constitutional rights, and finally rule in favor of law abiding American Citizens instead of supporting criminals by leaving innocent citizens defenseless as well as the inability to support, as the rest of the Second Amendment says the security of a free State. The gun banning agenda of the left, either characterizes the blind ignorance of these liberal Sheep, or they purposely enable violent crime, to further encourage a fearful and dependant society…
