These are issues best left to be addressed and regulated at the local level.Marvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927337728843826560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-41558975919416468182010-06-28T13:24:30.966-05:002010-06-28T13:24:30.966-05:00Great news. Some of the statements in the dissent are terrifying. Liberals truly are horrible people. They act nice, I suppose, but when they speak with their true voice, the most horrible things are said.Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341628086158209539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-14266352368176634092010-06-28T12:27:00.668-05:002010-06-28T12:27:00.668-05:00Darn that pesky Constitution!!!Covenant60https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778037319510838719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-27877278166299956752010-06-28T12:26:52.798-05:002010-06-28T12:26:52.798-05:00Nope. I&#39;m sure they will see that as a reasonable restriction permitted by the Court. People can still rely on the Indiana Constitution, which has a differently worded but equally distinguishable fundamental right to possess a gun.Gary R.
