Dead Corpse, the RKBA doesn't get any federal protection in practice right now.

Right. Because of a legal fiction. One Bobby actually approves of. The SCOTUS has a chance to peal back 70 years of bad juris dictum and stare decisis to restore to us our Right.

If they don't, then for many of us... there is only one recourse left. The original Right of self defense... against an out of control government.

"Because of a legal fiction."

THAT'S your argument? For well over 200 years the second amendment hasn't applied to the states and you're calling that "a legal fiction"?

Who, pray tell, is maintaining this legal fiction? Some secret club? The Masons? The Council on Foreign Relations? The Skull and Bones Society?

We've had Republican and Democrat Presidents, Republican-controlled and Democrat-controlled Congresses, conservative and liberal courts -- and for 200 years they all agreed to maintain this legal fiction that the second amendment only applies to the federal government?

You are out of your mind.
