n a dissent he summarized from the bench, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority “would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.”

He said such evidence “is nowhere to be found.”??????

Justice Stephen Breyer wrote a separate dissent in which he said, “In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas.”
APPALLING LEFT WING ARROGANT IGNORANCE!!!

Those statements would have been better left unwritten. They show a stunning lack of understanding of the original intent of the Founding Fathers as well as ignorance of our own legal and social history.

I would not have allowed those words to be published.

How does any sane person come away from the amendments and conclude that the second is the only one that doesn’t grant rights to all individual citizens?

Justice Stephen Breyer wrote a separate dissent in which he said, “In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas.”

I bet he wrote that from his idyllic cottage in fairy tale Cambridge, MA (crime rate 0.001 on a scale of 100).
