Well. We all know what Obozo thinks about the Constitution.

But it says "The Right of the People" "Shall not be infringed".

In Texas we like our guns, and will keep them......

...but the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to opine on whether the Second Amendment right to “bear” arms for self-defense extends outside the home.

People are still trying to re-define the 2A and bury the notion that it is really for the defense against a corrupt government, such as we currently have.

Well, from Merriam-Webster’s transitive verb definition:
  1. to move while holding up and supporting (something)
  2. to be equipped or furnished with (something)
If the SCOTUS acts towards the Constitution again as Obama has, as well as attack the meaning of language to distort it (again), we are heading for a constitutional crisis at the very least.

The Robert’s Court pays little attention as to the real meaning of what the Constitution says....they keep shaping it to what they want...anyone can do that. Few can stay within the confines of our Constitution or the Ten Commandments...both are C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T! Like this President, Justice Roberts lies when it is to his advantage to do so.

I always thought it was written to mean that the people had the right to arms so that they could be able to form a militia against a hostile government.

If anyone would care to read the Federalist Papers, it would become apparent that there was a great deal of opposition to and controversy over the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The thinkers in the crowd thought that the amendments would only serve to open up challenges.

Guess what? They were right.

Dred Scott vs Sanford.
What the SCOTUS thought about gun control in the pre Civil War era.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0060_0393_ZO.html

It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;
and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,
and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.

The supreme court and everybody else can deliberate and discuss, ad nauseum, the meaning of “bear” in the context of the 2nd Amendment but it will not change what all clear-thinking, Constitution-loving citizens know to be true.
