"What happens if they win?!"

Then we amend the Constitution to re-establish the individual RKBA. Do you honestly think that the legislatures of 3/4's of the states WOULDN'T pass such an amendment??? With 70% of to populace already believing that such a right exists.

More states than that already protect an individual RKBA. Almost every state protects concealed carry. We have 90% of what we already want. All we have to do is work on that other 10%.

But no. No, that's somehow not good enough. There are those on this forum whot insist on a U.S. Supreme Court all-or-nothing showdown -- despite the fact that every lower federal court in every lower federal court gun case (save two) have ruled that the second amendment protects a collective, not individual, right.

Idiots.

I'm not sure about that one way or the other. But I am pretty sure that the yea votes of 2/3 of both Houses of Congress that are required to pass the amendment and send it to the states are not there at this time and probably won't be for quite some time to come. That's why we have to continue to press the fight for our RKBA at the legislative level at least as hard as at the judicial level.

The other side is dispirited right now. But with the prospects good for a Democrat Congress and a Democrat president after next year, the odds could very well be turning against us again at the legislative level. A favorable SCOTUS ruling on the D.C. case would obviate the need for another amendment to guarantee a right which is already guaranteed and has been for over two centuries. But if that isn't in the cards we will have a much, much tougher fight on our hands, especially if the Dems keep control of Congress and either a Democrat or a RINO gungrabber is elected to the White House next year.

Mmmmmmmm, I wonder who that RINO gungrabber could be?
