The National Rifle Association and its supporters base their support of open gun laws on our Second Amendment.
Judge Antonin Scalia, whose opinion changed the court’s interpretation of the Second Amendment and dictated a much-looser reading of the amendment, based his opinion on his evaluation of the minds of the writers of the Constitution when the amendment was written. This was in accordance with his own historical interpretation — which ignored prior case law and allowed an experienced debater like Scalia to justify his decision regardless of past legal precedent |

There were two comments on this article.
They were "pending approval".
Neither were disrespectful nor vulgar.
They will not be "approved".
Wonder WHY....? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
