Consider the claim made by the Second Amendment Foundation that “no malady, however severe, can nullify or even temporarily suspend the exercise of a constitutionally delineated fundamental right.” This claim is categorically and demonstrably false. The Supreme Court has consistently held that even the most fundamental of rights and liberties can be curtailed if the government has a sufficiently compelling interest. The right to keep and bear arms is no exception. |

"The Supreme Court has consistently held that even the most fundamental of rights and liberties can be curtailed if the government has a sufficiently compelling interest."
The Supreme Court has been consistently WRONG!!!
There is no exception for a sufficiently compelling interest anywhere in the Constitution. The Constitution states an absolute: "Shall NOT be infringed"! Nowhere does it say unless a political hack decides otherwise.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
