Courts should be the most liberal part of a government. Otherwise the will of the majority is total and the minorities get royally screwed. Now, the sc is looking like the least liberal part, dragging existing laws and precedents down. Will be ugly. And now, it’s fair game when things reverse to rule the shit out of the 2nd amendment. Sauce for gander.
Want a gun, sign up for the militia.
- newfriend 4y agoThe court interprets the laws. This was a bad ruling when it was made. If you want a law, then the legislative branch can try to pass one. That's how our government was setup to work. > Want a gun, sign up for the militia. All able-bodied citizens are already part of the militia. The Militia is just The People. the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
- myko 4y agoThe militia was what became the national guard. If you read the founding father's word on the subject that's clear. Any other reading of the 2A is wishful thinking and SCOTUS rulings on the subject are an example of judicial activism.
- jleyank 4y agoForgot the well regulated part. National guard is the logical successor of the militia, joined up?
- rat87 4y agoThat was a correct ruling which was replaced by getting biased refs
