Dick Durbin, who never met a citizen disarmament proposal he didn't like, announces his next moves in the long war on the Second Amendment. Meanwhile, the traitorous John McCain agrees with him.

Schumer to Durbin: "Do you believe what a 'nafka' McCain is these days?" Durbin: "And the stupid schmuck actually thinks we'll respect him in the morning."

Sen. Durbin's Plans On Gun Legislation

Durbin also saying he'll hold a hearing in Washington this September that explores the influence of gun lobbying in creating laws and how stand your ground has changed the legal definition of self-defense.

President Barack Obama weighed in on Friday saying states with these controversial laws should re-examine them.

Today the President's 2008 Presidential race opponent Senator John McCain agreed.

"I can also see that 'Stand your Ground' law may be something that needs to be reviewed by the Florida legislature, or any other legislature that has passed such legislation. Obviously, a lot of things need to come up for review."

If, at the moment you pull the trigger, you are in REASONABLE fear for your life or serious bodily harm from the actions of another, then you are justified in the use of deadly force. As per the evidence, that perfectly describes George Zimmerman's situation when he pulled the trigger on Travon! And yet, his defense attorneys never mentioned Florida's "stand your ground" law. The president's constituents are apparently stupid enough to believe that law had something to do with Travon's death. By the way, if you would like to complain to Sanford, Florida's police chief for sending Zimmerman's property to the tyrannical justice department, the police department's phone number is: 407-688-5070. I have already called his office to voice my feelings on the matter.

Ed said...: "Stand Your Ground" has no relevance when you are pinned on the ground and are receiving a beating. If you could flee, you would do so. If you have a legal duty to retreat and you are unable to retreat, then you cannot.

Attorney Andrew Branca has a good analysis of "Stand your Ground":

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
