New York, NY, January 6, 2010 … In a brief detailing the "serious threat" of armed violence by extremists and extremist groups, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today urged the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure that states retain the right to reasonably regulate the possession of firearms by those who practice and preach racial and ethnic violence. "We have placed the problem of armed extremism squarely before the high court," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "Racist and anti-government extremists often have an obsessive fascination with firearms and have shown a willingness to engage in acts of shocking and often deadly violence. We urge the Supreme Court to ensure that cities and states retain the latitude they need to keep guns out of the hands of extremists, terrorists, and violent bigots." ADL's "friend of the court" brief in McDonald v. City of Chicago points to the long history of gun violence by anti-government and racist extremists. The brief describes three such examples in detail: the June 2009 shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, by avowed anti-Semite and white supremacist James Von Brunn (an incident which left a security guard dead); the April 2000 shooting spree in Pittsburgh by white supremacist Richard Baumhammers (which left five dead); and the deadly standoffs in Waco, Texas in 1993 and Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992. McDonald v. City of Chicago focuses on whether the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits most regulation of firearms by cities and states. ADL has long supported the reasonable regulation of firearms, particularly when it comes to the possession of weapons by extremists. "Extremists and those who commit hate crimes pose a serious threat to the safety of the general public and, more specifically, to the members of the discrete racial, ethnic and religious groups who often become their targets," reads the ADL brief. "Armed extremism leads to violent extremism with profoundly unsettling frequency and profoundly tragic results." The League's brief was prepared by Leonard M. Niehoff and Martin E. Karlinsky of the law firm Butzel Long.

Ho hum. Under attack by the motherfucking jews yet again. I suppose that means we'll have to nuke China or something.
The extremists in both of these instances were ORGANS of the STATE. The victims were secluded people minding their own fucking business. The victims were attacked without provocation and murdered by an army of jack- booted extremists paid for by YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
Doing what's right isn't always easy but it's always right.
Well, yeah, but the MFing jews never let facts get in their way.
More kindness from your biblical friends.
What a joke. Weaver was set up and the Gov had to pay him $3,000,000 after murdering his wife and son Don't believe me, just ask Gerry Spence. Show Me Obama's Birth Certificate!
Time to stop funding Israeli terrorism, take Israels weapons away from them including their nukes then. “Violence against Christian evangelical and Messianic Jewish communities in Israel increased significantly during the period between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008, according to the US State Department’s Annual Report on International Religious Freedom. religionisaproblem.com/20...anic-jews-and-christians/ Israel's Messianic Jews Under Attack www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1812430,00.html Christians in Jerusalem want Jews to stop spitting on them www.haaretz.com/hasen/pag...SubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y "A group of 50 pro-Israel Christian tourists came under attack Wednesday from some 100 residents of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea She'arim in Jerusalem. Three of the tourists and a police officer were wounded in the attack. They received treatment at the scene. The tourists arrived at Mea She'arim wearing orange T-shirts with the words "Love your neighbor as yourself" printed across them. As they neared one of the squares, the local residents apparently identified them as Christians and began to hit them. Police forces in the area stepped in to stop the violence, but did not make any arrests." www.democraticunderground...ew_all&address=124x129231 So-called "leaders" of the Christian evangelical movement have agreed to give up spreading the Gospel of Christ in the Holy Land in order to avoid being jailed under a proposed Israeli law aimed at stamping out Christian missionary work in Israel. Anti-Christian forces led by a wide-ranging group of high-ranking Israeli officials won a major victory on March 30. Representatives of 50 different international Christian evangelical groups entered into what was described as an "unprecedented" joint statement promising not to carry out Christian missionary work in Israel. guardian.150m.com/palestine/jews-attack.htm Rights group: Israel discriminates against its Bedouins in land, housing allocation www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1A1-D8VOGP284.html Israel discriminates against Arab youths: judge www.zimbio.com/Gaza+Strip...against+Arab+youths+judge Israeli Discrimination Against Non-Jews Is Carefully Codified in State of Israel's Laws www.washington-report.org/backissues/0198/9801088.html Christians Discriminated Against by Israel Dec. 29, 1977, Christians in Israel and the occupied territories protested a new law passed by the Israeli parliament making it illegal for missionaries to proselytize Jews. , it came into force on April 1, 1978, prohibiting the offering of “material inducement” for a person to change his religion. A material inducement could be something as minor as the giving of a Bible. Although the Likud government of Menachem Begin assured the Christian community that the law applied equally to all religions and did not specifically mention Christians, the United Christian Council of Israel charged that it was biased and aimed specifically at Christians since only Christians openly proselytized ifamericansknew.org/history/rel-christians.html Israeli officials have been regularly strip-searching children for decades, some of them American citizens. www.ifamericansonlyknew.com/cur_sit/childabuse.html The state of Israel says “GO HOME!” to Christian Jews who want to become citizens or to live as authentic, Holy Spirit-led believers in Israel.

Good and bad jews. Good and bad Americans.

With the recent ruling on the second I wonder how this will go. Personally I don't care. "Shall Not Be Infringed" is the only words I will recognize. Any decision by a political court not acting in their true function and in relation to the party that appoints them should be ignored by every Patriot. When they come, we act in unison and defend each others stand. Apply the Alinsky formula and defeat them using their own tactics. If we act in unison the system will be overloaded.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that its people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
I believe you called the Jews in congress evil. That word is more appropriate.
They can start by disarming the ADL, the SPL, and the ACLU.
It sounds to me like he is describing the founding fathers of this nation, heroes all.

I see the sob's failed to list one of the biggest mass murders on American soil by the "extremists" who wear government uniforms (Waco, where a lot of innocent men, women and children were barbecued by hardened criminals and despots). I see they did mention Waco but didn't bother to mention the guilty party in that one. And the government was also at fault in the Ruby Ridge incident where they killed a woman "armed" with a baby and shot a 14 year-old kid in the back. Bastards.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. If these groups were as bad as the ADL scum would have the court to believe then the members of the ADL would be lying dead in the streets.
