Let me ask you, how many of you live in D.C.?
Because it is my understanding that this case before the Supreme Court deals exclusively with gun laws in DC only!
There are constitutional issues which will likely be addressed in the Court's opinion which will reach far beyond just DC.
Frankly, I don't care. I am keeping my guns, will get more when I can afford them, and will never give them up. Run off to the hills??! I think not. I'll be sitting on my porch letting all to see!
Solution: I'm no lawyer (though I play one on TV)
{IT'S A JOKE SON!}
But wouldn't it be easy for our congress to pass an Amendment, or law, or whatever they do to just put into plain words that we,the qualified American citizen, have the right to own guns? How is that so hard?
It takes more than just an act of Congress to pass an Amendment. They could pass a law, but, such a law could be changed on a whim, if the Supreme Court interprets the 2nd Amendment as only protecting "militias." Hopefully, there are enough conservative justices that they will properly interpret the 2nd Amendment as protecting an individual rather than collective right. This is why everyone should vote for McCain rather than whichever of the two Socialist candidates the Democrat party nominates. He'll be far more likely to nominate justices like Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas.
