George continues to slide. Sad, really.

The text of the Second Amendment is clear and so is the historical application. A liberal court muddied the waters with Miller, and now the meaning has been restored. There are no umbras and penumbras and emanations issuing from the RKBA Amendment, and even the reasoning given here for Roe is incorrect, which in fact required incorporation of the Ninth Amendment, beyond which the Fourteenth had little if anything to do. But, since we're attempting to apply a Sophist's argument about a right never before claimed paralleling a right recognized since the founding, that isn't really too surprising.

So, we learn that O'Sullivan's Law applies to people as much as to institutions. Farewell, George, time to become Baseball Commish, or some other titular job that doesn't require you to exercise the brains you once -- but manifestly no longer -- have.

Actually read Miller. It says that the arms protected by 2nd Amendment are those in common use by the Armed Forces. It is actually the lower courts that stated it allowed the restriction of all weapons. In other words in accordance with Miller as ruled the restrictions on military weapons is not allowed.

No, an uninformed court muddied the waters with "Miller."
