My guess is that passionate supporters of the Second Amendment rightly understand that nine @ssholes who wear black robes in Washington, D.C. are the last people we should ever rely on to protect our God-given rights.
Well, that's part of it. But very early in the history of this Republic, we decided that those guys were the final authority. And it's probably going to be impossible to change that decision now.
The sad thing is that by not challenging whether the 2nd extends to the states, we are building decades of precedent where it clearly does not. Our own silence can and will be used against us.
Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts are buttholes?
