Like most Socialists (and Liberal Democrats), you keep painting yourself into a corner. When flushed out, you merely paint yourself into another corner. I'll keep flushing because it's important to reiterate that Socialists get on FR and pretend to be libertarians in order to sow discord and disinformation. We can soon spot them for what they are, though, when they start preaching about how conservative it is to legalize marijuana and how they'll decide for the rest of us what the Constitution really says.

How weird.
-- You claim that the USSC can prohibit guns, and when I protest, you call me a socialist.
You are very confused about our constitution, and about my politics.
You claimed:

"The Supreme Court can decide that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms only as part of the militia; in other words, the judges decide what the Constitution means. Further, the Constitution provides a way for the Constitution itself to be changed by amendment. A constitutional amendment through the elected (where numbers count) Congress and a vote of 3/4 of the states or through a Constitutional Convention (membership appointed by the state legislatures, where numbers count) could remove the Second Amendment and replace it with "no citizen has the right to keep or bear arms." That would be devastating, but it still would be "legal" and within our constitutional process." - whilom
