"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."
What a good phrase, "The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision"

The American center for Law and Justice is a conservative law group that specializes in Constitutional Law but they mainly focus on religious issues. I sure wish they'd join us and fight for the 2nd Amendment and this case in particular.

I'm surprised that we aren't seeing liberal groups joining in. Was it Alan Dershowitz who warned that tortured logic on the 2nd Amendment could harm the others? Undermining the 2nd Amendment with legalistic weasel words invites similar mistreatment of the other 10 Amendments in the Bill of Rights. If "the people" means the states in the 2nd, then why not apply that same definition to the 1st or the 4th? Wishing away one part of the Constitution could get the whole thing wished away. You'd think that liberals would be aware of that.

"People" hell. Will they ever figure out what "infringed" really means?

I am compiling a list of FreeRepublic folks who are interested in RKBA topics. If you want off my ping-list, just let me know.
Conversely, FReepmail me if you want to be added.
And my apologies for any redundant pings.

By redefining what "the people" means, the court never has to get to what "infringed" really means.

What's the next step in this process? Will it be appealed to the USSC?

"People" hell. Will they ever figure out what "infringed" really means?"Maybe they should learn what a "right" really means.

Now the justices are on an anti-tyrant kick. Their epiphany will last just as long as it takes for a democrat to retake the White House.
