My thought was that the Ninth would do everything it could to supress gun rights. I think they will work hard to keep the SCOTUS from gettting this case in our life time.

What makes you think the supreme court would agree to hear the case? Even if they did, do you really expect them to actually rule on the case in the way a clear reading of the 2nd amendment would require? The court is terrified of what a real 2nd amendment ruling would mean.

"The court is terrified of what a real 2nd amendment ruling would mean."

I highly doubt that. The 2nd amendment will mean what they say it means. Why do you think Campaign Finance Reform looks the way it does?

If they say sodomy is a federally protected right, or abortion, then by God you can bet your sweet a$$ it is. You disagree? Tell it to the judge at your trial.

We can thank the Higher Power that the 2nd amendment is NOT incorporated. That each state decides and defines the RKBA for its citizens.

I DO NOT want five unelected and unaccountable liberal justices sitting on the USSC telling me what rights are protected by the 2nd amendment. They MAY tell me that it only protects the collective right of a militia.

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... cold dead hands and all that. We did squat about the other violations. We'll do squat about this one. THAT is the "terrifying" thought.
