"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803
Todays gun control success story comes to you from my birthplace of Melbourne, Australia.
A 48-year-old man will appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court later this morning on murder charges related to a brazen daylight shooting inside a Carlton restaurant yesterday.
A member of Melbourne’s underworld was killed in front of diners at the La Porcella restaurant on the corner of Rathdowne and Faraday streets at 2:45pm (AEDT).
Police charged former boxer Domonic Gatto of East Doncaster with murder. . . .
More than 20 people have been killed in Melbourne’s string of gangland murders, the most notable of which was the shooting of Moran and associate Pasquale Barbaro in June last year.
A country with draconian gun control laws has a “string of gangland murders” in which over 20 people have been killed? I’m shocked, I tell you… shocked!
