Submitted for your review. It's almost a week old, but since SCOTUS hasn't issued its opinion yet, it's still relevant.

I believe our forefathers thru the 2A reafirmed our right to both keep and to bear arms as an individual right. And I don’t believe they restricted that right to our homes. None of our other rights apply to us only while in our homes.

Thanks for a great post. The Court's decision in this case could be the most important one in the history of our constitution. My fear is that their vote will be along the same line of the recent “Habeas Corpus” decision. Our republic is in danger

Finally, some good news. For the first time in 30 years the Court will actually be acknowledging the Rights in The Bill of Rights. It will be a great day.

Some one enlighten me. If the SCOTUS determines that arms are for state regulated militia, what is to stop arms friendly states (Texas, OK, etc.) from forming "state militias? What will be the definitions of it, how will it affect the storing of arms in ones house, etc.?

Has anyone penned a "what if" scenario?

Thanks FReepers.

If the issue was free speech rights, the libs would be for full right of the indivual including newspapers and turdbuckets.

Pediction: the court will recognize an individual right, with a long and ambiguous waffle/fudge at the end; the various states will then pay no attention whatsoever.

“machine guns for the people!”. In oral argument in Heller, Justice Kennedy openly questioned whether Miller should continue to provide the guiding framework for Second Amendment adjudication. I predict that the Court will put some distance between itself and a strict reading of Miller, perhaps through some agile recasting of the earlier opinion.

This is precisely why I don't go with the "Kennedy will side with us" crowd. He might side with an individual right, but to avoid the "machine gun" (or cannon for that matter) problem, he'll vote with the "reasonable restrictioins", meaning anything which threatens the state or scares the sheeple can be banned, which in turn is everything.
