9th Circuit upholds gun restrictions - Says individuals have limited weapons rights (more info)

God Bless you sir.

Liberal courts are destroying the nation. That these idiots on the 9'th circuit could be taken seriously and be allowed to stay on the bench without being impeached shows that the system for checks and balances went out the window decades ago. But, now they are threatening to turn the streets red. If we pretend for one moment that this ruling was allowed to stand and tomorrow the California legislature attempts to pass law and outlaw guns, than hundreds of thousands of law enforcement would either ignore it or die in the process of trying to enforce it as well as protect legislaturors from the unintended consequences.

Why would the nation wait for 226 years to say that individuals can not own their own weapons? Why didn't they confiscate weapons from all non militia members or soldiers after the Revolutionary war? Why not after the Civil War when militias were called up and than disbanded? Why now? Because the second amendment is not about hunting or target shooting but about individual freedom and protection from the power of an out of control government trampling upon individual God given rights.

The time is long overdue for the SCOTUS to settle this issue now and stop the lunacy.

My question for dicussion:

If the USSC overturns this 9th circuit decision, by finding that the 2nd is a right of individuals, can they rule in a manner that narrowly restores the rights of Californians without also overruling the various import bans, the 1986 law that halted production of civilian-ownable machine guns, and even the NFA of 1934?

Or is there a way that the supremes could overrule the 9th without going this far?
