I concur with your statements. It would not surprise me, however, if the SCOTUS exhibits it's honored tradition of spinelessly shying away from such a decision, as they did with Solicitor General Ted Olsen's assistance in the case of U.S. vs. Emerson.

I have heard statements that waiting a bit longer in order for GW to appoint a couple of conservatives to the Supreme Court would be good here. I would rather have this issue decided on NOW, since I feel we already have a sufficient strength in the SCOTUS to decide rightly on this long-suffering topic.

Waiting for new USSC justices to better our hand is a dangerous game.

We could very easily end up with more covert libs like Souter.

OTOH, even if the USSC declared no individual right, so what? They can vote 5-4 to repeal gravity or kill God, with the same effect.

If and when the USSC ever votes for the "collective interpretation", the shooting war will begin to restore the Constitution.

BTW, I was listening to Savage last night. He was taling about islamic sleeper cells committing terrorism in the USA after we attack Iraq, he said "no one is talking yet about the 30 million gun owning sleepers in our own 30 million man armed militia."

It sounded a lot like the "10 million deer rifle army" to me.

Read the last few chapters (20-23) when you can, the "shooting phase" begins there.
