Just imagine it.
When I imagine it, I visualize blood shed - ours and theirs!
I would love to have these guys thrown out of office for violating their oath to uphold the United States Constitution. These people should go live in the United Kingdom where they hate guns.
You have a lot of good quotes but this one cannot be documented. I would remove this quote from your database of 2nd Amendment quotes because it is unknown if Adolf Hitler really even said this.
I cannot believe they used Bellesiles as a source. Nor can I believe that they used one sentence from a Parade article quoting Warren Burger.
This opionin will get to SCOTUS, because of the dispute with Fifth Circuit's Emerson decision (which they declined to hear last year, iirc). Placed up against the scholarship of the Fifth, this opinion will be held up for what it is: a joke.
What Scalia will do to this "court" is frightening.
Be Seeing You,

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
