At the same time, the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer said the high court need not test that principle now.

This is not good news; we needed that test.

How hard is it to understand the Constitution?

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.

Olson, the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer, was reflecting the view of Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) that the Second Amendment confers the right to "keep and bear arms" to private citizens and not merely to the "well-regulated militia" mentioned in the amendment's text.

What is all the fuss about this? Seems pretty obvious. Was it REALLY the position of former administrations to state the opposute? Bizarre.

The AG supports the right of Americans to keep & bare arms, so what.

What should REALLY concern us is his personal distaste for nude art! (/sarcasm)

Unless this issue is addressed by the Supreme Court, there is no guarantee that an election would significantly alter this interpetation. It is not good enough to just say that the Constitution means what it says. We need to lock the meaning in STONE.

The current position of the United States ... is that the Second Amendment...

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.

I'm no expert on judicial semantics but at least they are making a pretense of being pro-RKBA. The proof will be in the pudding. I wish they had the stones to start challenging all the encroachments of the past 40 years.

However, as one previous poster opined..it might be better to wait for a stacked SCOTUS.

"This action is proof positive that the worst fears about Attorney General Ashcroft have come true: his extreme ideology on guns has now become government policy," said Michael Barnes, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which promotes gun control.

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 Ruth Price DIED HARD.

Mrs Turner self defense rights were taken away.

Now here in May of 2002, it is Ronyale White of Chicago.

*IL Chicago woman waits 17 minutes for 911 police call.*

Cut and Paste URL http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/680581/posts

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.

* Women who defend their sons daughters and husbands *

Cut and paste load to Second Amendment Sisters http://www.sas-aim.org/home.htm

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.
Requires Audio setup, downloads in 30 seconds, however, well worth your wait for this message.

Have we forgotten already.

Women's talk about self defense.

From a woman's point of view

The best news link on the planet for self defense.

www.keepandbeararms.com

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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.

Mrs. Turner's story

What is your self defense plan when the bad guy shows up at your door?
