It is no longer a right if the government can limit it with “a good enough reason”.

meaning that legislators must weigh the proposed benefit of the law carefully before realizing the the Amendment says "shall not be infringed" and not infringing on a Constitutionally guaranteed right. Fixed it.
Gettin' closer to Claire Time...

I think this case is going to turn on how much black robe fever dominates the court.
This is not about second amendment, this is about government restrictions on individuals period.
Property ownership, property of person, property of thought, all hinge on the second and all contrary to the interests in institutionalized elites.

Al governments tend toward tyranny. That’s what the 2nd was all about in the beginning and that’s what it’s about today. The government of the US can and has taken away all the so-called “rights” that are part of the Constitution at one time or the other, including the MSM’s sacrosanct “right of free speech.” The media SOB’s should really take notice of that when they criticize the RKBA. Campaign Finance Reform showed us that. That law should also have opened our eyes to the fact that its not only the RAT-bastard party that will take away rights when it suits their purposes. And we shouldn’t put too much faith in the US SC either - Kelo should have taught us that. The question is how much BS are we going to take before we act? My answer is - a heck of a lot since we all have more to lose than to gain by another year like 1776. It will take something like the depredations of government on a par with those that preceeded the Romanian Revolution of 1989. The thing about the latter is that it should have been instructive to politicians everywhere that it can still happen.

Our 2nd Amendment is the ‘teeth’ of the Constitution.

He's already violated his oath of office several times.....including when he signed McCain/Fiengold.

Leave the 2nd alone, you gotta admit it’s very effective at smoking out sh-theads and traitors.

It’s good to have one of the amendments be as polarizing as the 2nd is. Million$ of $ have been raised both pro & con and like I just said, it’s very effective at smoking out sh-theads and traitors. Keep it up boys!

Hillary will take this right away, if her royal highness becomes president.

Maybe it’s his payback to conservatives for not backing: his open border policy, or his sucking up with Teddy The swimmer, him saying Islam is a religion of peace, adnausium....

One needn't be a lawyer to recognize the esoteric nonsense in the Solicitor General's argument. Let's hope the supremes agree

Isnt it nice to know that Bush thinks the Constitution is more like guidelines than actual rules? I voted for a Bush, and all I got was a lousy weed.

Hillary will take this right away, if her royal highness becomes president. She won't be... At least not according to my careful and exacting analysis - also known as a guess. I think she will be VP candidate with Obama, and Romney will become our next President. I'm not a Romney supporter, but I do think that's the way things will play out.
