The funny thing about the law is that it can get bent by the Court almost at will. It is utterly nuts. If the Supreme Court rules against the 2nd Amendment case being for the individual right to bear arms, I think Congress should propose an Amendment to the Constitution to let the people vote on whether or not the right to bear arms should be extended to individuals. Let the people speak on the matter, in mass. Granted, it takes a lot more than a majority to pass an Amendment to the Constitution, but somehow I think this Amendment might just pass.

At the end of the day, I am hoping that the Supreme Court will uphold the DC decision, that this entire 2nd Amendment issue will become a non-issue, and that will be the end of it. Then, we can concentrate on bigger issues than gun control.

I wonder for how long the 2nd Amendment has actually been an issue in this country's 230 year existence? I'm guessing that it has only recently become an issue or we would have plenty of case law from the late 1700's, early 1800's that would have put this matter to rest a long time ago, when the meaning/intent of the founding fathers was actually known, and some of the founding fathers were still living and breathing.
