A man charged in November in connection with an Internet sex sting in Newtown is being held on a $750,000 bond for allegedly possessing an assault rifle.
Here's hoping he's not the one to present a Second Amendment defense:
In the mean time, we are utterly powerless to prevent a really wrong case from being made that will settle the matter (again, "legally") without our input and with overwhelming public sentiment agreeing with the decision--for instance, if a child molester files the suit.
That's the problem with waiting around for the Goldilocks case that's "just right"--you have no control over who else might beat you to the punch.
The "matter" was settled already, over 200 years ago. Now, it's just a matter of when We The People will enforce it.....
ReplyDeleteIt's a God-given, Natural Right. One that Pres. Andrew Jackson called
"indefeasible". Jefferson called it "inalienable". Almost all of the President, and true representatives of the people. All the way up to Pres. Grant, considered it as "the First Law of Nature".
Any move by government to divest the people of this specific right, is grounds for Revolutionary remedy. And the court knows it.
