This is not good news; we needed that test.
including persons who are not members of any militia
The people are the militia.
That right, however, is "subject to reasonable restrictions designed to prevent possession by unfit persons or to restrict the possession of types of firearms that are particularly suited to criminal misuse.
Types of guns suited to criminal misuse? This is the same logic the gungrabbers use.
What is all the fuss about this? Seems pretty obvious. Was it REALLY the position of former administrations to state the opposute? Bizarre.
What should REALLY concern us is his personal distaste for nude art! (/sarcasm)
Apparently, the current position of the United States is that the meaning of the Constitution's provisions is a matter for the Executive Branch to decide, since "Olson's court filing Monday urged the high court not to get involved [with Emerson]."
This is not good. In fact, it's a classic sop to the Right which can be abandoned as soon as it becomes inconvenient. Ashcroft is doing nothing to officially drop the 'militia' interpretation and in fact seems to be intent on keeping Emerson from being heard and possibly becoming the law of the land.
However, as one previous poster opined..it might be better to wait for a stacked SCOTUS.
Cool.
These people are just unbelievable.
(This opinion comes from someone who used to think it would probably be a good idea to remove as many handguns from society as possible.)
Mrs Turner self defense rights were taken away.
Now here in May of 2002, it is Ronyale White of Chicago.

No Judge's restraining order will ever stop an evil man with intent to kill a spouse.
Mayor Daley should be ashamed of his disarming of the poor.
Chicago residents (especially the poor) should be asking Mayor Daley why he is violating the Second Amendment rights of the poor and handicap of their self defense rights?
No honest citizen in America should be disarmed by politicans or state govt so they can be killed by felons, and scum with evil intent.
Other women who know how Mrs. Price was lied too by the government false statements that 911 will protect you.

Bad guys don't live by the rules. Here is Mrs. Ruth Price story and I would think that you would agree she disagrees with this leftist extremist, anti-gun views. Here is Mrs. Price story. Another disarmed voice.
Mrs. Price speaks directly to the gun control extremists.

Have we forgotten already.
Women's talk about self defense.
The best news link on the planet for self defense.

Who needs protection? The women of our lives, and our children, the poor who have little police protection, our grandparents, and parents, our wife, and our daughters need the right to self-defense at home and on the street. 2.2 million felons in jail, 3.5 million felons on probation, and 14 million drug abusers looking for their next fix. Do you think they are living in your city? Guns save lives. Gun free zones are killing zones for criminals. Most anti gun liberals are one mugging away from conservative views.
Dail 911 and die is more than a cute saying. It is life or death.
The actual 911 call is Mrs Price voice. Take this recording to every MMM and anti gun rally in the nation. Perhaps the MMM anti guns will be the next Mrs Price.
Another Mrs Price story in Columbus OHIO -- Dialed 911 and Died.
Mrs. Turner's story. Restraining orders, Killer telling police he was going to kill her, begging for life for several minutes, nor did phone call to 911 save this woman's life.
