80+ million Americans say we do have that right, as does the clear language of the 2nd amendment.

Who are they going to send to enforce this blatant, oath-breaking ruling?

That's where this ultimatley leads if they keep pushing it.

I have read a lot about this case in recent days, so maybe some folks can help.

On the grounds of Federalism, perhaps the court is saying that the Second Amendment prohibits the federalis from regulating fire arms, however, the states can decide for themselves how to regulate firearms.

That would make sense to me.

The problem or contradiction here (well really, the absurdity) is that the Supreme Court took up a case and overturned a local law on sodomy.

How do the two positions fit?

Well, they don't in any logical sense.

80+ million Americans say we do have that right

I have said it before in this forum, and I will say it again...

There is no incentive for the courts or Congress to rule positively on the Second Amendment. There also is no incentive for GOA or the NRA to see an end to the discussion. Their interests lie in perpetuating the issue, and thus their own future.

The only way that the Second Amendment will be protected and interpreted as a protection of an individual right is for those 80-million Ameircans to take it to the ballot box.

The Second Amendment needs to be the number one litmus test for earning our vote.

When, and only when, the political establishment realizes that no one from dog catcher to President can be elected without complete and active support of the Second Amendment, we will have assured ourselves and those who follow some measure of liberty.

It has to come from the grass roots, folks, not from highly paid lobbyists and arrogant politicians.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, they move however slowly until the they achieve their objective or are stopped before hand. It's just a matter of unity and what will it take before the majority decides to unite? England and Austrailia waited too long.

Keep your powder dry. The second American Revolution is imminent; and most of the other side is unarmed.

I pray it doesn't Jeff, but if it does lead to that, I pray it's during our watch so our children may live free...Molon Labe my friend.
