"The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may commence persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclusion of [their] war [for independence, a nation begins] going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of [that] war will remain on [them] long, will be made heavier and heavier, till [their] rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion."

--Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVII, 1782.

Hopefully there will be some brave Americans that use the 2nd Amendment to enforce their Constitutional rights to private property ownership against government entities that try to make hay on this disaster of a Supreme Court decision.

"2nd Amendment? What is this 2nd amendment you speak of? We've already stricken that from the books, all firearms are interstate commerce." says the Black 5.
