Only Ron Paul would take a clear and undeniable victory like this and whine about it.

"It appears the Court rejected the District of Columbia 's nonsensical argument that the 2nd Amendment confers only a "collective right,"..."

There's no "appears to" about - the Appeals Court was explicit in their rejection of both the "collective right" and "sophisticated collective right" theories; they also slammed the 9th Circus for its contorted logic in Silveira v Lockyer.

Nice to see some constitutional application of the law, especially in this town.

RP picked a great topic this week and gave a good summary of the issue and his own stance.

Unarmed liberty will be short-lived, as RP points out. It is the classic American position.

Ron Paul is spot on once again. If this guy hits any more home runs, they're going to have to move the fence back.

From the article:

"This is the principle so often ignored by both sides in the gun control debate. Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government."

This needs to be repeated; Too many pro-gunners exclusively refer to the crime prevention aspect of the 2nd ammendment when a quick study of the founding fathers indicate that the primary purpose of the RKBA was to allow a resistance to corrupt governments.

Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government.

Only citizens, in fact, are armed. Anybody who is disarmed involuntarily, isn't a citizen, but a subject, by definition (no matter what they call themselves...)
