So, Mr. Mayor, it’s time to do the right thing. The citizens of D.C. — indeed, all Americans — deserve a foursquare pronouncement from the nation’s highest court on the real meaning of the Second Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court is, and rightly should be, the final word on that question. Let’s give the court an opportunity to rule, and give the rest of us the benefit of the court’s collective judgment on a debate that concerns millions of Americans.
Sometimes I feel that even lawyers would love a world without lawyers. Robert Levy is co-council to the plaintiffs in Parker Versus D.C., and like most people who practice law, hasn't clue-one as to what law really is. Of course the Supreme Court is NOT the final word on anything. The LATEST word, perhaps. You don't alter the meaning of the Constitution simply because as lawyers you believe the law supersedes what is right. Because so many people, lawyers in particular, have so little genuine education and cannot intellectualize the simple process of ...
Understanding what the word or words meant back then...
Understanding what the Framers had to say about the matter in places other than the Bill of Rights...
Understanding then, what the peoples right to bear arms means.
For the love of all that's holy...just THINK for a moment.
They got together with like minded men and overthrew an existing government. They DID NOT work from within that existing government. They assembled an army of citizen soldiers to fight against that existing government.
And there REALLY is someone, somewhere, who thinks that they DIDN'T feel that each and every private citizen had the RIGHT to bear arms?
When, in total opposition to what their government dictated, they themselves DID JUST THAT?
This is somehow debatable?
