We Cannot Rely Solely on the Courts to Save the Second Amendment

Wrong. Ultimately, like it or not we must rely on the Supreme Court to rule correctly on this issue.

States like Kalifornia, New York, and New Jersey will never relinquish their draconian gun laws without a mandate from the Supreme Court.

And Bloomberg will continue to spend millions (pocket change to him) to infect the rest of the states with the same anti-2A sickness.

Correct, and according to Justice Thomas (and he would know) - the court views the 2nd Amendment as a "disfavored right." It refuses to even hear most 2nd Amendment cases.

But without the court ruling in favor of the Constitution, lawless states like CA, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, VT, and soon VA can run roughshod over citizens and gun rights.

I love the Freeper around here who like to say, "The 2nd Amendment says it, so there!"

Yeah. Try that in CA. Try that in NJ.

Get stopped by a cop in an anti-gun state with a unloaded gun in your trunk and run afoul of their draconian laws. You will find yourself arrested, imprisoned, before a judge, and spending every cent on lawyers. Your life will be ruined. And good luck finding a jury that will acquit you, because the local DA and the judge will ensure they have an an anti-gun jury. Trust me.

Now, you can look forward to a long prison sentence. And all the way, you can point to the Constitution, but it won't undo any of the above.

And now, in 2019, instead of National Reciprocity, we have even more "gun control" in dozens of states since 2016.

Millions of American in several states are now Instant Felons because they own gun magazines greater that 10 rounds.

He has spread millions in Oregon, our Governor is very flush with his cash and his policies. Last session this summer, the R's had to walk out of the session due to the very left wing radical bills coming out of the majority D legislature.

They will probably be able to pass the next gun regulation they want. If your gun is stolen, locked up or not, robbed from you at gunpoint, you the former owner will be liable for all "its" crimes for the next 5 years!

So if someone broke into your house and threatened to do harm to your children or wife at gun point, you would open your safe and give them the guns, you will go to jail courtesy of the state. See this fear they create? So if we get rid of our guns then they can't be stolen, are were safer?
