| An odd ruling, in that the court ruled that if the public perceives that it is safer, they let the law stand... no analysis at all as to whether the public is, indeed, safer. Any judge who rules on the emotions, rather than the facts, should be impeached and removed. |

“If a ban on semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines reduces the perceived risk from a mass shooting, and makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit,” the 12-page majority opinion said.
Such brazen thumbing of the nose at an enshrined fundamental right with the scope of precedent established by Miller, Heller and McDonald is breathtaking.
How the public feels overrules constitutional commands?
I seem to remember the public in Arkansas feeling that the Little Rock Nine shouldn't be permitted to attend Little Rock Central High in 1957. Is Brown v. Board of Education therefore illegitimate?
This arrogance cannot be allowed to continue unaddressed. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
