This is good to have out in the public view, as it discredits one of the major points of the gun control/ban crowd. However, the RKBA is an inalienable right - it doesn't matter if there is some benefit in terms of lowering street crime from having guns or not, just as it doesn't matter whether a gun has a "sporting use" or not. The 2nd Amendment could be repealed and the RKBA would still exist - inalienable means just that.

But the real agenda was never the control or reduction of crime. The disarming of the civilian population is the singular goal they are pursuing, and with the civilians disarmed, the resistance factor is decidedly much lower.

Anyone who doesn't understand this shouldn't be trusted to operate heavy machinery, raise children, vote, etc. The use of the crime issue and the emphasis on "sporting use" (echoes of Nazi Germany's 1938 weapons law) are just convenient and persuasive (for the useful idiots) means for the string-pullers to accomplish their goal.

Ironic, isn't it, that the supreme court case that supposedly allows gun control (miller) claimed that the second amendment didn't apply because a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches has no military purpouse........(never mind that it was the favorite weapon in the trenches of WWI which was the last war that the U.S. was involved in at the time)

Any politician or bureaucrat that doesn't fully uphold the 2nd amendment needs to be fired.
