I don’t know how the Second Amendment case the Supreme Court heard this week will turn out, but I do know this: If the subject weren’t so serious, the case in its current posture, with substantial doubt about whether there is even a dispute left for the court to decide, would be downright funny. For a window into the dynamics of today’s Supreme Court, look no further than the transcript of the argument in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. City of New York. |

This lefty editorialist needs to shut up and go away.
Even if the contested provisions in that law have been recinded, there is still a major issue before the Court. Both the federal circuit court and the district court of appeals upheld its constitutionality, blatantly ignoring Heller and McDonald, and the textual and historic analysis test used by the Court in both cases to weigh any injuries to the right, which is FUNDAMENTAL..
That is a situation that demands remedial action at the highest level, something that would have long-term ramifications. Lower courts simply cannot be permitted to ignore SCOTUS precedents. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
