For the first time in many decades we have a condition where the USSC will haveaddress the 2nd amendment issue head on with circuit courts maintaining diametrically opposed position and ripe for USSC intervention.

Ha! Yeah right. And which side do you think the USSC would come down on? They wouldn't dare rock the boat. Silveria was good enough. The Emerson case was good enough. I'm sure if you go a-looking, there will be dozens of cases over the last few decades where they have COMPLETLY dodged the issue. You'd get another "remand back to a lower court" ruling, or a "compelling state interest". As for Bush, no... I don't think that even if he gets re-elected that he will appoint the type of judges that would rule against 70 years of legislative malfeasance. After all, the recent DC case on Washingtons handgun ban was a Bush appointee and he took the "collective Rights" view.

You figure it's time for physical revolt? I don't and I don't intend support those that do. There is alot left to be attempted before that time arrives.

I think the system is broken. I do not have a lot of hope left that it can be fixed. A lot has ALREADY been attempted and the options are running out. I figure one or two more court cases and the Second Amendment will be dead. And people like you will just shrug and re-draw your lines in the sand another ten yards back while calling the rest of us "extremists". Thanks pal.

Read and understand Lopez

The Emerson case was good enough.

Emerson is only one circuit, the 9th circuit's opinon in opposition. No help nor jory their. Neither are USSC decisions.

will be dozens of cases over the last few decades where they have COMPLETLY dodged the issue.

And none Circuit level, none opposing,.One place the USSC cannot avoid ruling is when circuit rulings are in opposition.

As for Bush, no... I don't think that even if he gets re-elected that he will appoint the type of judges that would rule against 70 years of legislative malfeasance. After all, the recent DC case on Washingtons handgun ban was a Bush appointee and he took the "collective Rights" view.

Yawn. So go cry in your corner.

I'll continue to work to push for the necessary changes through by understanding what I am up against and working with the tools that make sense and are most likely to support, protect and preserve the Constition and the nation.

Mob violence is the refuge of the incompetent and more often destroys that which you would preserve rather. Armed revolt by a mob is leads directly to anarchy and tyranny of the warlords.
