Speaking of Fed Thompson, I see a problem with the question the SCOTUS is asking: it asks whether private citizens have the right to firearms in their homes, not whether they have the right to use those firarms for self defense in their homes or for defense OF their homes.

That would be a bad thing, IMHO, and I think they've rephrased the question correctly.  They said 'for private use in their homes.'  They don't limit that use in any way.  It's strictly the question of right to keep and use.  If you have a right to keep it and use it then the question of what use you put it to is a separate matter, still appropriately left for definition in another setting.  The need for the firearms for self defense is going to be an inherent part of the arguments in favor of over turning the law and need not be stated in the question.

And why would that be an issue involving FDT in this context?

I don't know....I keep thinking of ways ANY decision will be used against us. Like...remember the congress considered banning bullets when they found they couldn't ban guns? That was Chuckie, IIRC. That sort of thing. Just the fact that this is being considered at all worries me. This country has swung such a hard left, where people think the president is WRONG for asking permission of a governor to send in the National Guard in an emergency and using tanks against civilians against citizens at WACO was a GOOD thing to do...it just worries me.

We're well stocked on ammo, but methinks we're making an ammo run on Saturday anyway.
