We’ve come a long way at destroying personal rights since the SCOTUS ruled, in 1857, that one of the rights of citizens is “To keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

This was the Dred Scott case in which it was “proven” that blacks in bondage were not citizens even if in a “free” state, so such rights did not apply to them.

Well, Wyatt Earp certainly ignored that one. (:-)
