But it good to hear that there are some judges still out there willing to say it like it is and stop trying to rearrange the words of our Founding Fathers.

Good luck.

I did read an article that shows a decrease in crime w/ the increase of gun ownership in DC.

Post by: armoredman on January 02, 2013, 06:31:36 PM: I'm hearing this may not be appealed to SCOTUS because the IL AG can't afford to lose a big one which would damage her chances to become a higher form of pond scum...I mean politician.
