Default Re: Supreme Court Will Hear D.C. Guns Case

One more and I'm done for the day...

It seems quite obvious to me that we are going to see the DC ban thrown out. I also think that the SCOTUS has no real option but to indicate in their opinion that although the 2A guarantees the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, there must be reasonable restrictions placed on that right. If they actually give an opinion based on what they all to a person know the 2A truly means, there will be such a backlash of overturned laws that the federal government might actually be pushed to do one of two things. Either step back and shrink, or say to hell with it and just ignore the Constitution and grab all of our guns. The SCOTUS would in effect be giving away the power the federal and state governments have fought so carefully and slowly to achieve. I can see it happening all to clearly, and don't think for a minute they don't as well. I hope I expressed that clearly, as I'm dead tired and need to sleep......
