OK. Show of hands.

Let's see all those who supported this second amendment showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court. Raise your hand if you still think this was a good idea.

Tell me again how there's everything to gain and nothing to lose -- that having five justices on the U.S. Supreme Court define the second amendment is a good thing.

Don't hide. Don't slink away now. Stand up for what you believe in. Be counted.

Your gloating has been noted. The state derives its legitimate power from the people. The people don't get their rights from the state. I didn't ask for this fight. Government asked for it.

This from Mister ""well the USSC says..." when it comes to the Commerce Clause.

You got it. A bad ruling would not affect the current legal status of the RKBA anywhere in the US. Agreed?

OTOH, there are potential upsides. SCOTUS could decide that the DC law is repugnant to the Constitution. Do you favor such a ruling? If not, what ruling do you favor?
