"The court is terrified of what a real 2nd amendment ruling would mean."

I highly doubt that. The 2nd amendment will mean what they say it means. Why do you think Campaign Finance Reform looks the way it does?

If they say sodomy is a federally protected right, or abortion, then by God you can bet your sweet a$$ it is. You disagree? Tell it to the judge at your trial.

We can thank the Higher Power that the 2nd amendment is NOT incorporated. That each state decides and defines the RKBA for its citizens.

I DO NOT want five unelected and unaccountable liberal justices sitting on the USSC telling me what rights are protected by the 2nd amendment. They MAY tell me that it only protects the collective right of a militia.

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... cold dead hands and all that. We did squat about the other violations. We'll do squat about this one. THAT is the "terrifying" thought.

I'm with you on just about your entire reply. What I meant by my original comment: "The court is terrified of what a real 2nd amendment ruling would mean." is that they are terrified of the consequences of if, by some improbable fluke, a ruling is made that actually conforms to the second amendment's text, a lot of well laid plans will be put at risk. Just imagine what it would be like if it was universally recognised that we have a Right, as much a part of our lives as the air we breathe, to keep and bear, i.e., own and carry, any arm.

That thought terrifies the statists out there, both "conservative" and "liberal".

I generally have to agree with you there. In light of Waco and other things, I think things will have to get much worse before the 5 percenters will wake up enough to put some real fear into the powers that be.
