    Great read even if disappointed at the truth


    The Court after Scalia: The next ?conservative? Justice may not save the Second Amendment - SCOTUSblog



    In sum, the Second Amendment vision pervading federal courts today allows banning any weapon, regardless of its function or popularity, if doing so makes people feel better; the prohibition on bearing arms by anyone unless the local policethink it’s a good idea, and in just about any location subject to description by the English language; levying taxes and fees on firearms in any amount, if the money collected is put to a wholesome purpose; and the “heightened scrutiny” of any law implicating “fundamental” Second Amendment rights by deferring to the legislature’s view of what’s constitutional. If the gun prohibitionists get their way, add to this list the final farce of a ban on the acquisition and manufacture of the arms whose possession might be protected.

    This is likely why the 2A specifically prohibited infringing upon the right of the people to keep and bear arms, rather than prohibiting only the total eradication of that right.

    The founders saw all these incremental infringements coming as clear as day.

    "....a republic, if you can keep it." Yeah, they saw it coming.

    Still waiting for someone...anyone...to explain how "shall not be infringed", opens itself to "common sense" infringements.
