Attacks on the individual non-militia right to keep and bear arms
As we start gearing up for our next Presidential election, we must be sure to be very conscious of the fact that the President nominates U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Two current Justices (Breyer and Ginsburg) and at least one prior Justice (Stevens) want to overrule Heller and McDonald and limit the right to keep and bear arms to members of an active, official militia. Authoritarians on the Left are already working on strategies to do this. See this plan, published in a law journal. Heller and McDonald were 5-4 decisions. They hang by one vote. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

The practice of referring to guns as "arms" is interesting in itself ---- the association of a weapon with striking distance of three feet with one that reaches as far as 3000 with lethal accuracy strains the analogy . . . but hey, I'm just a schizophrenic gun owner who thinks there could be a problem.

interesting point. Like you I am not opposed to certain types of gun control. However, I think we also need to get more serious about enforcing the laws we have on the books.
