I might sound like a single-issue voter, but I’m really not. Allow me to explain. I’ll almost always support the candidate with a bold and unapologetic history of protecting individual gun rights. You’ll notice I said “protecting.” That’s a critical distinction. No government grants or gives rights. Rights are something we all already own. Period, paragraph, and end of story. So the concept of protecting gun rights is a big deal. The government’s job is to preserve the rights, any type of rights, that we already have. |

I don't see how the Tyler case can cost us anything we already have. Either he loses, and the 'adjudicated mentally ill' remain prohibited persons for life, or he wins, and 2A rights are expanded from their current level of recognition.
That said, Breyer has said that there is no individual right and he wants to overturn Heller. (and after he was part of the unanimous vote for the individual right in Heller, he was just in the minority who claimed a total ban on handguns didn't violate that right)
And Hillary has vowed to give us more justices who agree with Breyer.

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
