the Second Amendment explicitly recognizes the right of individual Americans to own and carry firearmsOf course it does. The Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) is by & for The People. The gun grabbers know this, yet they say it's a state right. Yeah, the Bill of Rights is by & for The people....every amendment, except THAT one!
And, the 1st amendment give the state the right to speak out about it's self. FROM MY COLD, DEAND HANDS!

I've read much of the AG report and find it comprehensive and well-reasoned.
However, I find it astounding that lawyers can write 113 pages to explain the obvious intent of 27 words.
Less astounding, perhap, is the need to refute the musings of other lawyers and judges that deny the obvious intent of those 27 words.

Dennis Henigan, director of the Brady Center's Legal Action Project, also spoke against the "individual rights" interpretation of the Second Amendment at James Madison University in 2002. "Both the language and history of the Second Amendment show that its subject matter was not individual rights," Henigan said, "but rather the distribution of military power in society between the states and the federal government." Using very basic reading comprehension skills, the only reasonable conclusion one can draw from these two sentences is that Dennis Henigan is either (1) a complete idiot, or (2) a despicable liar.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

"The Omega will come when the Supreme Court begins to overturn selected gun control laws based on the fact that they do infringe upon the individual right protected in the Constitution."Correction. The Omega will come when the SCOTUS is FINISHED overturning those laws.

The second amendment. First in the hearts of many because it secures the rest of them!

One major reason I'm glad Bush is there instead of what's-his-name.
