The thing is, some lower courts, and State legislatures, don't actually know their ass from a hole in the ground. Even if they do, they have political, and possibly even financial, reasons to ignore that in convenient fact.

A clean ruling from the SCOTUS could go a long way to redressing this grievance. I'd rather we try this first rather than jumping straight to Rule .308.

Yes, but it is also an admission that nobody knows how to interpret a simple statement of fact and that we need an outsider to explain it to us. Further, that in so doing, we would go along with what they said it means, beings we believe in the rule of law. I realize the temptation is great to allow the SCOTUS to do that in this instance.

Especially dangerous in this case, as we are allowing at least four potential slaveowners on the court to help consider the re-institution of slavery, for if freedom, self-defense and equality were established and re-inforced out of the barrel of a gun, to take the guns away would pave the way for the re-institution of slavery. A new kind of slavery that would make ALL the people slaves to a tyrannical government. We are already half-way there anyway, with our current tax system and money system.

Yes, there is a danger here that should be considered.
