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!
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?
You are absolutely correct, this case deals with ONLY the current D.C. prohibition on handgun ownership. HOWEVER, IF the Supreme Court rules that the ownership of firearms by individual citizens, and NOT just by members of Government organized militias,is what the Second Amendment protects, the decision becomes a precedent that any aggrieved citizen could use toinvalidate any and all laws at local, county, or state level that had a comparable effect in preventing citizens from possessing arms. This is the reason why all the anti's are so distressed that the Court may find that the 2nd Amendment makes the D.C. law invalid....... Such a decision would, in effect, put all future would-be gun-baners out of business.....
