Here's where I have a problem with this line of thought.

I have a big problem with it, as well, but I think it's accurate.

Let's say...the Supreme Court rules....that firearm ownership by citizens is hereby illegal.

It looks like that will happen using the law and the Constitution to accomplish it incrementally.

At this point, am I justified in using deadly force to defend that right as I interperet it, rather than how the SCOTUS defines it, using Constitutional rights as my justification?

They will use that to their advantage any way they can.

Keep in mind, the Founding Fathers made the wording of the Constitution simplistic for a very good reason.

We know that but they don't care and they will continue to use the courts to advance an agenda that can not be advanced legislatively.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Could you please clarify that a bit?
