Whatever the case, I agree with Thomas Jefferson in that the Sup Court was never intended to have this sort of 'final arbiter of the Constitution' power that it has given to itself.

Its a disgrace that we have to wait for as few as 5 people to tell us what the Second Amendment means.

Aetius, you see above a post that, on the surface, looks to be written by a supporter of gun rights.
Actually, he does not agree that "the Constitution guarantees the right of an individual to bear arms for purposes unrelated to militia service".
He agrees that a State gun-control law does not violate our gun rights unless it violates that States constitution.
California's prohibition on 'assault weapons' is just fine with him.

You've been misinformed.
The socialist gun grabbers & the 'states righters', as in the post above, --- are among those that are spinning that the USSC has the power to "tell us what the Second Amendment means". -- This is simply not true, - and I look forward to the day they try to do so.

-- The Constitution is clear on this issue, and the people would immediately make that fact clear to the Court, and to any officials stupid enough to try to enforce a prohibitive infringement.
