The most serious aspect of this is that a body of BAD case law now exists covering the 2nd based only on the court's resort to the preamble when deciding gun cases. Its clear that future work by such notable pro-2A lawyers like Stephen Halbrook and Chuck Michael need to really use this argument in future arguments. If not, then it won't be long before the case law load is so great that the preamble will have become the main clause in the 2nd, and ALL courts will rely on that as the sole criterion for decisions. At that point, confiscation will become a real possibility. God help the Republic..
