Could Holder be like Caligula?

Here’s an interesting article:

“The Roman Emperor Caligula wrote the law in small writing high up in a corner of a public building so that no one could read what the law was. If no one knew the law, the emperor had a freer hand in saying who had violated it. It was a clever and naked power grab.

The U.S. Department of Justice—with an assist from Congress—is taking a page from Caligula.

Sure, you can find our nation’s criminal laws. But if you’re charged with a crime, for too many cases, good luck to you in figuring out what our laws mean. And federal prosecutors will force you into an untenable risk of prison if you aren’t willing to cut a deal with them and plead guilty.”

Perhaps history repeats itself.

Why Lower the Handgun Purchase Age from 21 to 18.

Liberals are having a heart attack.

“In a Monday court filing, the National Rifle Association asked the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down a 1968 law that prevents licensed gun dealers from selling handguns to people between the ages of 18 and 21.

The NRA, along with two nineteen-year-olds, aims to overturn the federal law that restricts the sale of handguns and ammo to anyone under 21 years of age. While individuals between the ages of 18 and 21 cannot obtain a handgun from a licensed dealer per the law, they can still obtain a gun through other channels. The law also does not prevent individuals between 18 and 21 from obtaining shotguns and rifles.”

Liberals will claim that 18, 19, and 20-year-olds are not responsible enough to own guns.  Really? You can join the military at 17 with parental permission. You can vote at 18. If you can’t be trusted with a gun, why trust you with a vote? Voting can be deadly, vote for the wrong guy and he might draft you into war or send you to an internment camp. Vote for the wrong guy and maybe your business will be destroyed, your fortune lost, and perhaps you’ll end up dead.

At 18 you can enter contracts (younger than that if you’ve been emancipated), get married, buy porn, donate sperm, etc, etc, etc.

Liberals trust underage women with abortion. If you’re a 13-year-old girl, they’ll defend your right to have an abortion without even telling your parents.

Liberals trust underage kids with graphic presentations about sex in the name of sex education, and they fight against making the parents grant consent.

Yet the same liberals that are always talking about how much they love the youth, Obama even had a Youth Ball when he got elected, would deprive a man of his right to keep and bear arms just because of statistics.

Well, we are not a nation of statistics, we are a nation of INDIVIDUALS. We are not judged for what others do, but for what we do. That is the standard of the founding fathers, that’s why the Bill of Rights are about what the government can’t do to you.

It’s time to treat adults like adults, I don’t even like the patronizing term of “young adult”. As for the drinking age being 21, that is wrong to. The founding fathers didn’t write “your right to keep and drink beer shall not be infringed” because they didn’t envision prohibition and all the other progressive nonsense that came later. And yes, prohibition was the result of a coalition between progressive and religious, I love my Christian friends, but there are times we have been wrong.

A lot of liberals think “bringing America back” means bringing back slavery and making sodomy illegal once more. Folks, I don’t know anyone that would want that, except maybe for the Westboro Baptist people.

The truth is, we just want our Constitution honored, our individual rights defended, our federalism restored, and the government out of our way.

In the end, a criminal will always get his tool, but an law-abiding 18-year-old shouldn’t die because he couldn’t buy a handgun legally. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will see it our way.
