So what are we supposed to do? Did you read the excerpt from Parker in comment# 1? In Muscarello, both Ginsburg and Souter agreed that the Second Amendment had meaning beyond mere soldiering, i.e. it's not just a collective right.
The Supremes could rule that the 2nd Amendment only applies to the Congress and that cities and states can legislate whatever they want.
Doesn't tha t violate the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution?
Course, DCs special status could also figure in.
That would leave folks in D.C. with more rights recognized than in other parts of the country. That would beg for another court challenge.
Lotsa things violate the Constitution. I never knew that to be an impediment.
You must be one of them Constitutional 'originalist' dudes or something.
