Did you hear the news? The five most liberal justices on the Supreme Court — Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer and trusty swing voter Anthony Kennedy — handed down a decision that makes clear their support for the right to bear arms, free and clear of oppressive, pointless, and ineffective gun control restrictions!
You say you missed this? Well, you could be forgiven for not having recognized this important gun control ruling, buried as it was in an abortion decision.
The following are excerpts from the remarks of President Gerald R. Ford on July 4, 1976 — the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence:
Before me is the great bronze bell that joyously rang out the news of the birth of our Nation from the steeple of the State House. It was never intended to be a church bell. Yet a generation before the great events of 1776, the elected assembly of Pennsylvania ordered it to be inscribed with this Biblical verse: "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
