ON SUPREME COURT'S GUN RIGHTS RULING

JUDGMENT DAY

Like many Americans, I'm still trying to digest this week's Supreme Court decision defining owning guns as an individual, and not a group right.  Again, like many other critical decisions from the Court in recent days, this too was a close one, squeaking by with a 5-4 vote.  This contrast brought out between two of the important votes this week, in a "Letter to the Editor" to the New York Times, did catch my eye:

"It is sadly ironic that Justice Antonin Scalia wrote just this month, “It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”

Those words, excerpted from his vigorous dissent to the Supreme Court’s decision to affirm the right of habeas corpus to detainees at Guantánamo Bay, quite accurately predicts the outcome of this week’s ruling overturning the District of Columbia’s handgun ban, a ruling that Justice Scalia himself wrote.

Whether any Americans will be killed as a result of granting detainees the right to challenge their detention in a court of law is debatable at best. But whether more Americans will be killed as a result of a proliferation of handguns in Washington is a foregone conclusion.

Food for thought indeed.

OH, THIS IS NOTHING! Next Step? Will be when I am subpeona’d for my testimony on my past 30+ years as an US Army “Manchurian Candidate Study” subject.
(Go to www.rickhyatt.freeservers.com, Picasa, or Flickr to see just how immersed I AM in this espionage business - Hope you have Piclens, for I’ve got PHOTOS of past major spies I have known long-term along this line you won’t believe!)
That is to say, my own mission as a “Sleeper,” totally controlled, of course, by the FBI and (Double-Blind, unknowingly) “Social(ist) Services,” was to “Act up” (Utilizing special psychological and physical attributes such as clinical hypnosis and Celiac’s Disease, which causes reversible neopathy, and a "Yukky" personality) to the degree that I became “One of those who shouldn’t own a gun…" and thusly influence on-going anti-gun legislation. I was successful in helping Maui Waiver Form 2036 (Allowing the corrupt politicians to search a gun applicant’s ENTIRE LIFE’S medical, sexual etc. files) and then exploit same for political control purposes on Maui.
Coming then here to Wyoming, hearing of my “Reputation” they specially whipped up new Concealed Carry Permit Restrictions, for "Such a person like me…" Then, when I passed the NCIC, etc., and got a Florida Permit, valid here, the Viglilantes passed a special law - JUST FOR ME- ILLEGAL AS HELL - Such that it could not be used here, as quick examples.
My “Behavioral Programming?” To act unnaturally conservative, pro-Constitutional, openly Patriotic, and to be vocal in speech and writing about it. Be “Dumbed Down” and as if "Perverse" from the Celiac’s by deliberately eating bread and drinking beer for the effects of gluten upon me. Couldn’t have made a better target and/or “Dummy” for the Liberals to exploit as an “Example.”
The Liberal and Maternalistic Social(ist) Agencies have tried to have me Committed endless times, based on this Politically-Incorrect behavior, and hoping to find out more from me about my past high-ranking Intel Officer connections, which they hope are sexually-blackmail-related.
Now… Since so many anti-gun laws are based on the VIOLENT acts of the Columbine, Post Office, Mall otherwise-untraceable (By the APA, anyway) “Sleepers” (Otherwise as myself), then how can ANY OF THOSE LAWS BE VALID AT ALL? Since they are, as NRA VP Knox once said, "...Enemy action?"
Our corrupted politicians cannot be trusted to do anything but sell out our Rights in order to achieve personal powers, no matter where the "Resources" come from.
ALL GUN REGULATION MUST BE THROWN OUT!

An interesting observation on US society is that as the population grows, so does the value of individual life. We are loosing our right to put ourself in danger.

This is not the pattern elsewhere.
