(LESS government please, NOT more.)
"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees.

This Justice understands! The other may also - maybe they dislike the idea of a free people fighting to remain free.
