Dick Heller was a security guard who wanted to bring his firearm home to his high-crime neighborhood in D.C. However, in 1976, the District of Columbia City Council had passed the Firearms Control Regulations Act, which banned most residents from owning handguns, automatic firearms or high capacity semiautomatic firearms as well as unregistered guns. In addition, any rifles or shotguns kept in the home were required to be “unloaded, disassembled or bound by a trigger lock or similar device.”
When the Supreme Court heard Heller in 2008, it reversed its earlier opinion that the Second Amendment concerned itself solely with militias and ruled there is an individual right to own guns. |

Where in the words 'shall not be infringed' does it allow the government to infringe my God-given rights?
First of all, the Supreme Court is not given authority in the Constitution to interpret the Constitution,
Secondly, the Constitution does not allow the Government to ignore it at government's convenience.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
