Consider how the Extreme court decided to rewrite the meaning of the law to what someone supposedly intended.

Now, apply that kind of rewriting to the second amendment or any of the other amendments...

Do you see the point now?

I see that we have two US Supreme Court decisions acknowledging an individual right to bear arms protected under the 14th Amendment quite separate from the ‘militia clause’ in Article II of the US Constitution.

Many gun grabbers have bemoaned this as ‘inventing language’ to suit the outcome, thereby ‘rewriting’ the Second Amendment. These holdings were affirmed by the same split decision numbers as the ‘gay marriage’ holding that came out today: 5-4. The gay marriage win is no more or less important than the RKBA being extended to cities where firearms were once prohibited. In fact, it probably only helps the cause of extending RKBA.

My suggestion to both the gun-grabbers and the anti-gay marriage people is to familiarize themselves with Marbury vs. Madison (1803) and understand that it’s nothing new that the US Constitution means whatever the US Supreme Court says it means.

As for me, my wife and I will go to a gay wedding if we’re invited. I bet the catering will be superb. Be aware that I fully plan to carry concealed for my own protection at the ceremony just like I do everywhere else.
