Also if one were to interpret the second amendment as a state militia's right to keep and bear arms for preservation then it would be the ONLY amendment that is not precisely an individual right in the entire document.

Of course, thinking folks already know there exists a body of letters from the very founders who crafted this language explaining that it is meant precisely as the right for the people to bear arms and is not to be infringed.....even though it is indeed being infringed constantly because we have neither a SCOTUS or POTUS with the guts or rightmindedness to just jump in and end this madness.

However...if a justice can extract infanticide justification from the right to privacy then I suppose we should be prepared for the storm before the calm.

I've lost my faith in our elected representatives to stop this hellbound train. One day either us or folks like us down the road are going to have to settle this unless a profound calamity occurs that will shock folks back into the real world and they'll be too busy simply surviving to worry about petty crap like social engineering and constitutional dilution....neither is a pretty resolution but that's about the only hope I see. If we lose, then it's game over for the individual here. How in the hell can anyone expect to rattle tyranny without weapons and the will to use them.

I hate to think it will take a major WMD attack and economic collapse to turn us from our course, but that may be reality. But that would be just exchanging the frying pan for the fire, and leave us in possibly a worse condition with even less freedom, ruled by tyrants and warlords emerging from the ashes. Hopefully some of the gun gestapo politicians will hear about the book, read it, and wake up in time to the disastrous course they are steering for the nation, and for themselves personally.
