You are correct. He is not a judge, he is a former judge.
Which means he can say anything he wants and not be subject to any legal complications. He can also take money to say it. Legally.
Need I go on ?
No, but of course he held these beliefs on the bench.
Nothing has changed.
And was taking money for it then as well.
The second amendment codifies my God given right to provide for my defense against individuals and governments by the use of arms. And I choose to use a gun.
Doesn’t matter if they leave it or repeal it. I still am going to exercise my God given right.
BS. Pure, unadulterated BS.
See, simple.
Simple!

Stevens is 97 years old. He’s chosen to out with a bang instead of a wimper. (it’s a metaphor, FBI)
No one is reporting that John Paul Stevens, former SC Justice, WILL BE 98 IN THREE WEEKS...
His ship sailed, he needs to return to hiding...

Above is an interesting link on the development of the American militia. The British had militias appointed by the governors of the colonies, but the “Powder Alarm” which occurred prior to the first shots of the war at Concord/Lexington saw the birth of the American militia.
Excerpts:
Before dawn on September 1, 1774, 260 of Gage’s Redcoats sailed up the Mystic River and seized hundreds of barrels of powder from the Charlestown powder house.
The “Powder Alarm,” as it became known, was a serious provocation. By the end of the day, 20,000 militiamen had mobilized and started marching towards Boston.... The message, though, was unmistakable: If the British used violence to seize arms or powder, the Americans would treat that violent seizure as an act of war, and would fight. And that is exactly what happened several months later, on April 19, 1775.
Five days after the Powder Alarm, on September 6... the people of Suffolk County (which includes Boston) assembled and adopted the Suffolk Resolves. The 19-point Resolves complained about the Powder Alarm, and then took control of the local militia away from the Royal Governor (by replacing the Governor’s appointed officers with officers elected by the militia) and resolved to engage in group practice with arms at least weekly.
The First Continental Congress, which had just assembled in Philadelphia, unanimously endorsed the Suffolk Resolves and urged all the other colonies to send supplies to help the Bostonians.
.... The Provincial Congress urged all militia companies to organize and elect their own officers. At least a quarter of the militia (the famous Minute Men) were directed to “equip and hold themselves in readiness to march at the shortest notice.” The Provincial Congress further declared that everyone who did not already have a gun should get one, and start practicing with it diligently.
...Two days after Lord Dartmouth dispatched his disarmament recommendation, King George III and his ministers blocked importation of arms and ammunition to America. Read literally, the order merely required a permit to export arms or ammunition from Great Britain to America. In practice, no permits were granted.
End excerpts. That last paragraph doesn’t fit with the sense of the others, but I left it in. The same thing is happening today in so many places. California doesn’t want to ban guns - one just needs a permit to carry them. Of course getting a permit is a whole different manner.
While t
they aren’t going to repeal anything- they ARe however going to continue to chip away at our second amendment right until you might as well say that it’s been repealed because it will be near impossible, although not entirely impossible, to own a gun
“Repealing” the 2d would result in the United States finally realizing what the 2d is all about.
Even if they could repeal the 2nd Amendment they can’t repeal
our God-given right to self defense and that would rationally
mean the right to keep and bear arms sufficient to the task.
The Founders were wise enough to make it fairly difficult to change the constitution.
That avoids the problem of loading the constitution with faddish notions and minutia as has happened in some states where the change process is much simpler and easier.
As an example - Liberals have been trying to get the Equal Rights Amendment passed since 1972.
But in spite of congress bending the rules to favor passage it still hasn’t been ratified by the necessary number of states.
Only liberals are stupid enough to want less rights.
All their carefully engineered polls show it.
Stevens probably thinks repeal is merely a matter of a Supreme Court ruling. There is a precedent of sorts. Colorado’s Supreme Court declared a part of the Colorado Constitution unconstitutional and struck it down- that is unconstitutional according to the State Constitution of which it was a part. And the ruling stood.
