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.
...That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, ...If private citizens do not have a power, they cannot consent to have the government exercise it on their behalf.
If I do not have the right to own a fully-automatic machine gun, I cannot delegate that right to the government.
What phrase in the Second Amendment makes that a "legitimate" limitation?
