The question is really about whether the 2nd Amendment was about the need for a militia to guarantee the security of the nation or about the rights of the individual to own guns.
The wording of the Amendment itself suggests to me that it was the former.Usually legal opinion goes on the principle that what somebody writes down on a document is the definitive meaning rather than any interpretation.
And "the right to bear arms" didn't mean the same thing before 1800 as it does now.

Fingers crossed, but I'm really skeptical. I'm sure they realize how much hinges on this decision. This could pave the road for more bans or the striking down of a lot of pointless laws. This is one of those things where I'll watch with my hands over my eyes... probably more intense than a Hitchcock movie.
I got my love gun loaded, with a-huggin' and kissin', and when I pull the trigger, there ain't gonna be no missin'!

Banned
What kind of compensation would the US Gov. give to the owners of the guns this legislation would make illegal?
There must be thousands of people who have thousands of dollars invested in their collections.
I am against firearms of all sorts but it would cost trillions to buy back and destroy all the contraband, and in the end a savant with a home made .22 could rob 20 banks.
Good idea, poor, poor execution.

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
That's a really good point. That's exactly why banning guns is stupid. Not everyone owns a gun so they can shoot it. Some people cherish the "collection" aspect and they're going to get fucked if this bill passes (which I don't think it will).
If This Stupid Law Pass's, The Government Won't Compensate The Gun Owners. Not A Penny!! You'll Have A Date To Turn Them In, Or You'll Most Likely Be Convicted Of A New Felony. Some Say Gun Control Works??? Ask The People Of China, Japan, Russia, Germany, How Good It's Worked For Them!!!! And I Know There's Others! As I Said In Another Thread About This, My Opinion Is If This Pass's And They Make The Law For ALL America, We Will Have A War Right Here Over It!! :glugglug:
The problem is, as a thinking, sane, rational tax payer, it is incomprehensible that my rights and freedoms are even considered to be restricted by some stupid two dimensional politician that wants to blame the woes of a fucked up cultural system in the US on guns, particularly handguns.
Why is Chuck Schumer, or Hillary or Rudy or Diane Fienstein thought to have a viewpoint that is more important than mine? They really have no clue or perception to what the heck they are doing. Their distorted little brains come up with a ban on guns as their problem of solving the internal problems of the US.
Absolute stupidity. I am so tired of the line, arsenal, as in the report of the kid with 30 BB guns recently or total misuse of the term "assault rifle", (already illegal in the US), as meaning anything that remotely represents a fully automatic military rifle.
It is basic common sense to understand that responsible people who are engaged in sport that Chuck, Hillary, Rudy, and Diane don't approve of, are not evil, mentally ill, or deviants of any sort.
I am personally against politicians that spend huge amounts of taxpayer dollars on wasteful lunches, dinners, and other expenses that normal people don't enjoy, and think a citizens review of their actions are necessary to make sure tax dollars aren't wasted crap we don't pay for.
Is something out of balance here?

I think some of you are only reading the title of this discussion and not the article. There is no all encompassing gun ban legislation being discussed here. This is about a supreme court case against DC as to whether a ban on handguns that is already in effect is actually unconstitutional. If the supreme court finally breaks down the amendment as meant for individual ownership vice state militia, then it will open a lot of doors for other pointless laws to be challenged.
Personally I would love to see the ban on machine guns lifted... not the restrictions on purchase, although the $200 tax stamp and the few months it can take to process the paperwork, but the ban on manufacturing new machine guns. IMHO this would create a HUGE market for gun owners who have been getting ass raped on prices of "pre-ban" machine guns.
I'm totally cool with a background check and waiting period. I don't see this as an infringement because, in the end, I will have the gun. It's really the only way to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. I would even welcome the implementation of this system on all guns (rifles, shotguns, etc) as a trade off for some other laws being dropped.
