    | Those who believe that no one wants to take away all guns or the Second Amendment are sadly mistaken or hiding their agenda.
 
 The U.S. government argued in federal court (U.S. v. Emerson, 2001) that there is absolutely no right of an individual to own firearms. More recently, John Paul Stevens, the 97-year-old retired Supreme Court justice, called for the repeal of the Second Amendment and is encouraging anti-gun protesters to do the same.
 
 At the anti-gun rallies in March there were many signs sayings, “I wish Obama had taken your guns,” “Ban all guns,” “Yes, in fact, I am here to take your guns.”

    | An armed person is a citizen. A disarmed person is a subject. |

    | The US may have argued in Emerson that an individual has  no right to own a gun,  but that stands in defiance of the Second Amendment's  plain wording, to say nothing of Heller. 
 You're here to take my guns?
 Better bring yours.
 You'll need them.
