THe SCOTUS could very well decide that only members of “state militias” (the national guard today) have the RKBA. This would be a disaster, and light the fuse for CW2. Especially if a 5-4 majority cites foreign laws.

If the SC decided that the 2nd allows the army to carry firearms, it would be the most ludicrous decision in the history of mankind. I just can’t imagine that the leftists are that stupid. Nobody with more than two brain cells could serioiusly accept that sort of reasoning. It would be equivalent to saying that only writers may possess books. Then again...
Except that the National Guard is NOT a "state militia". There are several states which have both. Texas is one.

The fuse for CW2 was lit long ago, but fizzled and went out.
Over the years there have been times when smoke was observed coming from the fuse, but it failed to ignite.
Today,IMHO, anyone who seriously attempts to relight it will be quickly neutralized.
The willful violation of my right to keep and bear arms by the federal government and the state of Kalifornia brought about my withdrawal of consent to be governed several years ago.
Some may consider that a meaningless gesture. But it must be realized that I am no longer ethically bound to obey the laws of either government. When I do so, it is entirely due to the consequences of such disobediance which are backed up by government force. If I disobey, these tyrannical governments threaten to murder or imprison me.
I wouldn't doubt that there were individuals among our Founders who first realized that they owed no allegiance to their rulers, perhaps decades prior to the outbreak of Revolution. Many others didn't make the key decision until long after the shooting started.
What is sad is that the monarchy at the time only had to recognize the rights and liberties which our Constitution guarantees in order to avoid the conflict. The same is true today and ought to be easier, since our public officials all take an oath to uphold that Constitution.
It's very fortunate that our academics, despite their general liberal leanings, have been forced by intellectual honesty to recognize the plain language of the Second Amendment. Pro-gunners may need to erect a monument to Lawrence Tribe in recognition of his vital service to the Republic.
Since we don't elect these nine people who will decide the fate of our rights, all I can say is that if you believe in God, pray!
And, if you don't believe in God, pray anyway!
