Dick revealed in words what I believe anti-gunners are saying all along. On the one hand, the 2nd Amendment doesn't really say what it means and mean what is says. On the other hand, we anti-gunners really despise the 2nd Amendment.
What's more, why should we rely on what "legal scholars" have to say about this or that issue? If I were governor of a state, I probably would have thousands of infantrymen sent to my state to remove me from office and install a more compliant governor, because I would declare ALL unconstituional laws NULL AND VOID in my state.

Just shows how out of touch with current events the "mainstream" media really is.
Under two years ago, Algore - who ran as the candidate of gun control - couldn't even win a majority of the states. It takes 38 state legislatures to approve amending the Constitution. What makes some talkinghead think that it is even possible to get 38 state legislatures to agree to throw out the Second Amendment - when many would have to be in Red Nation and every state legislator knows that making gun-bashing such a big part of his platform cost Algore the election under two years ago?
Other darlings of the commie elites - notably the Equal Rights Amendment, which lacked the enormous regional split - couldn't do it.
Scandals of antigun politicians, activists, lawyers, and journalists!
So much better to acknowledge the obvious intent of the amendment than the childish dancing around meanings and laws that transparently circumvent the intent.
They aren't even subtle that liberal judicial activists have stolen law-making powers from the Legislature. Maybe if they read their Constitution, they would realize that only the Legislature "makes law." Oh how I hate these socialist vermin.
So, the attacks on the Second Amendment coincides with the rise of global communism. Coincidence?
That'll do.
Look I know that one of the gun grabbers favorite tricks is presidence from court cases...heck....its everyones. I have a question, aimed at those more read and with a better understanding of the consitution on this part that I have. When did judges start making laws? Did I not get the memo? I don't get out much but honestly?
