Randy Barnett, writer for the pro-gun blog The Volokh Conspiracy, is reporting that the Ohio State University’s Second Amendment Research Center (SARC), an anti-gun “think tank” with strong ties to Barack Obama, has been shut down. Barnett notes that the ex-Center’s URL [http://www.secondamendmentcenter.org] is out of service and the OSU operator had no information.
From the story:
This “scholarly” center was one of the initiatives funded by the Joyce Foundation to support writings that opposed the academic consensus that had previously arisen that the original meaning of the Second Amendment protected an individual right.
Readers of this blog will remember the infamous Joyce Foundation funded symposium at Chicago Kent from which any dissenting scholars were excluded in the interest of “balancing” all the rest of Second Amendment scholarship. Apparently, its scholarly purpose having been exhausted by the decision in Heller, it has ceased its scholarly mission. It is no more.
Barack Obama sat on the Joyce Foundation’s board of directors from 1994 through 2002. During that time, the Foundation awarded SARC $525,000. All told, Obama and the board signed off on more than $20 million dollars in grants to anti-gun groups like SARC,
Barnett’s observation that the Heller ruling obliterated the need for SARC’s existence is spot on. As Buckeye Firearms Association Legislative Chair Ken Hanson noted after in his analysis of the victory in Heller, while the overall victory was a narrow one (5-4), 9 of 9 sharply ideologically divided judges considered all of the body of the law and 100% rejected the collectivist theory (fraud) foisted upon the American people for two decades.
“Saul Cornell and other scholars who have concluded for years that the Second Amendment is merely a collective right are 100% dead wrong on the body of their life’s work,” Hanson wrote in June of 2008 in response to the Supreme Court ruling. “The collectivist fraud has been as soundly rebuffed as it can be rebuffed.”
As it turns out, it seems the Supreme Court wrote SARC’s death warrant, and Hanson penned the epitaph.See Story Source
Good riddance to bad rubbish. I suppose if SARC could, they would blame their demise on the gun rather than their wasted life work.
Excellent.. we are winning this battle. Now we need to get our full 2nd amendment rights back.. to carry without a “permit” and to own and train with genuine military weapons, which is what the 2nd Amendment really says.. the Founders wanted us armed with and trained with current military weapons, to put us on par with any standing army. This can done safely in an all white nation, therefore we must also separate by race and national borders, immediately
Separate by race…and borders…fine…I suppose you want to put the negros in Florida…the grease in Arizona und Kalifornia…und us White Folks up in Idaho…where I’ll freeze off my ass! Why can’t we White Folks go where it’s warm…and all the rest to the North West to freeze their little balls and trigger fingers off?
