2558...While Our Civil Liberties Are Being Eroded

The American's rights are being enhanced.

Paul Koring wrote in yesterday's Globe and Mail that "As with free speech, Americans have a fundamental right to own guns, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday, answering a centuries-old debate and threatening laws and regulations enacted by states and cities that outlaw handgun ownership or impose tight controls on assault weapons. Concluding that citizens can own firearms for self-defence, Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, reasoned that the framers of the Constitution regarded 'the right to keep and bear arms among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty.'"

This is at the same time that in Canada's most important city the police legally trampling on people that the state deemed as non rights holders.

Beauty, eh?

  2. omg, 'Anonymous', WTF?!?!?
    Did you just crawl out from being under a rock all last weekend or what?!? Pls., get with the program... Or... either that or you're extreme right-wing and side with the shameful, heinous corruption of the abuse of power that went on by authorities...?!?

    Either way, I guess it explains why you don't dare put your name to your post.
