A judge commenting on the need for laws is a personal opinion and shouldn't hold anymore weight than any of our opinions. The Judicial Branch of government should shy away from legislative matters, IMO.

I agree. How many times have some of us said, "There aught to be a law against being that good looking." Or, "There aught to be a law making everybodyhave to work for a living."

I don't disagree. However, he is perfectly within is authority to state his opinion. Judge's do it all the time (read my first post). I just happen to like that this judge's opinion is pro gun.

Again, thumbs up al juez (judge)!!!

I like this pro-gun judge too...what we need is a Supreme Court whose judges are all pro-second amendment.

But I also understand the need for the judiciary to not use their positions for advocacy for or against certain positions. But at the same time I just can't help but say way to go your honor for having the backbone to say this.

I understand what all of you are trying to say and I also like the fact that we have a judge that is pro-gun. However, what he was advocating was another law, not exercising aright as was previously metioned. We don't need another law forcing the exercising of our rights. That is my main point.
