For liberals the constitution is an inconvenient, little set of unnecessary admonitions that do not take into account emotion and feelings. Which of course in lib world count more than cold, hard logic. The idea that the founding fathers would not want its citizens to have firearms is absurd on the face of it given the times when many people had to use firearms to put food on the table. Can one imagine the early American government going around trying to confiscate guns from the populace? And todays liberals going back in time and trying to convince early citizens to give up their guns? A second American revolution would have quickly followed the first.

Who knows what amendment might be rediscovered next? Personally, I vote for the 10th.

Hear, hear!!

Or maybe we could re-discover why the 16th and 17th Amendments were such insane additions in 1913 (when the Socialist Party in the US had far too much influence)

Who are the 6 litigants, by the way?
Have we set up a beer and flowers fund for them yet?

"Bill of Rights" (if that’s even its real name)...

The Left thinks its real name is "Rights of Bill [Clinton]". Translated, it means whatever Clinton wants it to mean, as is his right.

Nice article. I "suaved" it to my 2nd amendment archive.

At least a few federal court judges have balls. Ms. Henderson obviously does not.

I always wondered how the district could restrict someone from owning a firearm in their home? I dont know if it was because they were not a state but a district that they were able to get away with that one.

Folks, if you have a hard time understanding the language of the Second Amendment, there is an easy way to parse it. Imagine that it referred to books instead of guns:

"A well-informed electorate being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed."

Clearly "the electorate" is a subset of "the people", but this does not limit the right to read books only to registered voters.

The Population of the nanny State, being composed of irresponsible rednecks, rejects, and retards, must not be allowed to have Arms.

That one landed in the upper deck. Truer words about the attitudes of the elites towards the rubes in flyover country have seldom been spoken.

I wonder how the Supremes are going to react. If they are linear and pure, then even the permitting processes for CCW are unconstitutional.

Karen LeCraft Henderson, whose opinion that the gun ban was constitutionally permissible was based on at least two stellar deductions. The first was that since the District of Columbia is not a state (as in "necessary to the security of a free State…"), then the 2nd Amendment did not apply in that part of America.

Can anyone really be this dumb?
