We’ll see. Obviously the Amendment does not apply to arms that cannot be handcarried – to keep and bear, so it doesn’t apply to cannons,...

If someone in the 18th century didn't have the freedom to amass a collection of cannon for his frigate, how would he carry out a Letter of Marque, as authorized in the US Constitution, Article I, Section 8?

The only legitimate limitation on “shoulder” arms is that limiting fully automatic firearms which is in place now.

The Second Amendment only applies to Shoulder Arms.

Scalia’s remarks are unnerving. After what happened with Roberts, its more than apparent that significant pressure can be exerted to influence CONSERVATIVE judges to move to the left. Curious as it appears, liberal judges NEVER can be pressured to move right.

My guess is the harpies of the court - Kagan, Bader-Ginsburg, Soto-Mayor, and the one guy on the left - Breyer, are unrelenting in their arguments on this subject to Scalia, Alitto, Thomas, Roberts and Kennedy. They are making the minority view the majority view by pure strength of personality and dedication.

As for that loathsome reptile Chris (Are you a Flake? ) Wallace, he curdles my stomach every time he appears on FOX. He should be haunting CNN or ABC, etc, not a network which presents itself as “fair and balanced”. Were it not for his daddy, he would be selling cars somewhere.

Not only is it important to make sure Obama does not get in, its equally important to make sure the GOP keeps a majority in the House and extends their Senate delegation to that magic number 51. Right now, Rasmussen gives them 48 seats in the fall and the Dems 47 with the balance up for grabs.

Finally, PLEASE, PLEASE, get out there and vote for CONSERVATIVES in the County and municipal GOP committees, or, better yet, run yourself. They are a shadow government and MANY of these seats are uncontested.

It is perfectly legal for a citizen to own a cannon. If scalia does not know this... he is not qualified for his position. Anyone that watches “Pawn Stars” has seen Rick buy and shoot many cannons.

Considering the well-known facts regarding the Founders' reason for the Second Amendment and the Insurrection Act, Justice Scalia is wrong unless the government is also limited. The point of the Second Amendment is to oppose a tyrannical government. If the people can be limited, then the limit should only extend to balancing of capabilities. If government forces that can be brought to bear on its citizens have a capability, the people cannot be limited in that same capability.

You (the government) gets automatic weapons - we the people get automatic weapons, etc, you don't want your citizens to have automatic weapons - then forbid them from use against your citizens.

It seems the time is getting ever closer for a revolution when people like Scalia start talking about gun regulations. What is the matter with the Judges? It seems that, as they rise up, there brains turn to mush. Just look at what happened with Obamacare. It is now Constitutional to force everybody to buy something they do not necessarily need. Start watching people!

Scalia is telling conservatives that the Court is NOT going to do their dirty work. And the Court shouldn’t. If conservatives want gun rights, they must ELECT people that support gun rights, rather than relying on a handful of people getting older every day.
