Protected By Second Amendment

The Heller decision was the first Supreme Court to consider the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. That careful analysis of the words led to the decision that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right.

The Heller decision left it up to future courts to determine what is and what is not an infringement.

Future 2nd Amendment issues will be decided by defining want is an Infringement.

A well regulated Internet being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Modems shall not be infringed.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they were totally ignorant of USvsMiller. If not they probably don’t care and hope that SCOTUS will uphold the ruling and Miller will be ignored and forgotten.

You can quote Justice Scalia’s written opinion for the case, these are his words. The link to his supreme court opinion is at the bottom of the posting.
