Maybe we can get a friendly Congress critter to pay them back in their own coin.

"In order to help lower the costs of law enforcement that effect everyone, every able bodied male between the ages of 21 and 65 will, by Jan 1, 2013, arm himself with a handgun and 50 rounds of ammunition or pay a $50 fine."

This ruling makes that possible.

Oh well on this dark cloudy day you did find a fantasy silver lining. The ruling does make it possible. More likely is that we will told to buy green bananas left to ripen on the windowsill as they are good for you and we need the trade with other banana republics. sarc

Yes it does. Not gonna happen. But Congress under this ruling can mandate most anything. Sad day. I will not be at all surprised that Congress will tell me I need to buy an apple a day to keep health care costs down. If I don’t swipe the issued fruit card I will be subject to a tax.

That was already possible before; Congress has always had the power to equip/arm the militia.
