It's the first time that a federal court has said that the 2nd Amendment restricts or prohibits gun control."

You have to love the liberal's reverse thinking. They see the Second Amendment as restricting their rights rather than giving them rights.

Indeed; that mindset has rarely been displayed so openly. They truly do believe that they have the unquestionable right to force their beliefs on others, and they attempt to do precisely that at all levels of government.

It's no surprise that the true nature of the 2nd Amendment - a restraint placed upon goverment - would seem to them to be horrific indeed.

It does neither, it protects their pre-existing rights. Big difference. The right would exist even if there were no second amendment to protect it. The very grammar of the Second Amendment assumes that the right exists. "the right of the people to ..., shall not be infringed" not "the people shall have the right to .."

In a manner of speaking it does. It restricts what they perceive as their "right" to restrict our rights.
