I hope I'm Very wrong, but consider this, especially in light of what is important to those inside the "beltway" and those running to be there: It's election time. I forget our numbers but there are many millions of NRA members with money and many friends. Both Obama and Hillary are mouth-foaming liberal, no guns allowed folks. McCain is a war hero. O & H can't fight Mcain on this issue. McCain folks are OK either way with the gun or anti-gun crowd. (POW). The candidates have to get this pesky "Bill of Rights" thing out of the way before November, esp the dems. I THINK the percentage of us gun-people are about 80% of the U.S. MANY of us are very vocal, too. So here's the plan-- get the (Appointed-for-life)Court do the deal. Gun nuts get their way and when the Court rule (FINALLY) on this and give us one of our rights back.
This makes it a non-issue. FOR NOW. Wait long enough for one of them to warm the presidential chair. Then the bunch who REALLY run the Country, the ACLU, steps up with another well-planned gun suit. The High Court rules again--this time outlawing guns for everyone except cops and the military,
reversing or watering down this ruling. PRESTO--NOBODY can carry guns except for a few hunters in the middle of Montana during designated seasons (Maybe 2 weeks per year) Gun manufacturers go out of business--no demand. Rapes murders and burglaries go back up, BUT the Constitution is still intact because you can have a gun, if you can find one, to take to Montana once a year to shoot deer (If they haven't all starved from over-population. Now we have the ACLU's wise policy of "if you want a gun, go steal it just like in the good ole days. If you get shot coming into somebody like me's house, then sue me for all I've got for shooting you. Back to square one for another decade or two and continue to demonize guns on TV and children"s books. 'Nother decade--no more guns except the criminals' kids, now grown with the stolen guns Dear old dad stole back when he was a kid.
I sincerely hope that I'm just a paranoid old fool who wrote this stupid old letter.

I'm happy that the court confirmed what was obvious....that individuals have the right to defend themselves....with guns , if necessary. That individuals have the right to own guns and not as part of some government organization!

What is amazing and dumbfounding to me is that four (4) members of our Supreme Court could read the Constitution, Bill of rights and all the supporting writings from the era when these founding documents were written...writings by those who wrote these documents and others from that time and determine that the 2nd Amendment is not an individual right!!! Folks, those are appointees who are quite willing to "interpret" the Constitution to fit their own views and that is DANGEROUS!! If a liberal gets the Presidency in this upcoming election, we'll have more of that kind appointed...those who are very willing to rewrite the Constitution with their rulings to suit their own views!!
