Heller Court: What Part of Shall Not Be Infringed….
Wow. I mean, just … wow. Like all the other gunnies I’ve been cautiously optimistic about the Heller case but never for a minute (OK, maybe for a minute) that they’d go as far as to guarantee a right to keep and bear bazookas. The best part was seeing Justice Stevens as the lone dissenter on that part of the opinion, with no one signing on to the no-rights view. Hey ACLU/ABA/Brady Bunch: can you say “pwn3ed?” Or given that this kick in the gut came 2 months earlier than expected, should that be “pre-pwn3ed?” It almost looks as though the Supremes made a few minor, stylistic edits to the GOA brief and called it an opinion. Well done, GOA, your 30+ years of no compromise have finally paid off!
To you suckers who have sunk tens of thousands of dollars in pre-1986 machine guns that are now worth barely more than their semiautomatic counterparts, I feel your pain. Sort of. As for me, I figure that with the Supreme Friggin’ Court so squarely in our camp, we won’t be needing these guys anymore, except maybe as a social club to meet a few other shooters. Certainly no need to waste any time or money going here or here, unless you want to meet some cool people like me.
UPDATE: Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me.

Happy April Fool’s to you too, Xrlq.
If it matters, it took me about three minutes of [what's that word for "feverish", ahh, it is feverish] Googling to get it. If it also matters, I have not been getting more than six hours of quiet sleep per night for a long while.

P.S. Are you sure that you want to be playing April Fool jokes on people with guns?

Oh come on, you couldn’t fit a quality Rick Roll in there too?
