#4 The trouble is that the people can no longer rely on the SCOTUS, because whenever there is a shift to a liberal dominated SCOTUS, they have made it clear that the rules and precedents observed by conservatives no long apply to them.

The memory of the abuses of the Warren and Burger courts should not be so easily forgotten. They laid the groundwork for the entire concept of "judicial activism" and "legislating from the bench."

We are still under the onus of many of their bad decisions, and even the sitting liberal justices have made it clear that if they assume power, they will reopen what is now profoundly settled law, decide cases with respect to what foreign courts have done, and continue the process of unbridled federal power at the expense of the States and the people.

Liberals were very crafty to include indoctrination in the public schools, with the idea of undermining American beliefs and rights in the long term. So this should be the stage for the next fight by the gun movement, to restore the liberty of American gun culture and its perspectives to our children.

So that when they are of their majority, they will be ready to pick up where we left off, and continue the fight.

#5 The New York Times:

The Supreme Courts conservative majority has made clear that it is very concerned about the right to bear arms. There is another right, however, that should not get lost: the right of people, through their elected representatives, to adopt carefully drawn laws that protect them against other peoples guns.

Assuming for the moment that's true (and it isn't), what about Chicago's total ban is 'carefully drawn'?

#6 Shouldn't have ducked the issue in Heller.

With Heller they only addressed hand gun ownership. That's settling only for a slice of the pie. The real right is for the same technology weapon that the military issues to its line personnel. That is the whole pie. Swiss militia model.

#8 I pray that I am wrong, but I suspect that I am not and we may soon see ideology driven assassination of the SC justices as a means to the ends of the left. When the end justifies any means (as with the left) there is no level of depravity beyond them. They already kill their own (unborn) offspring for the convenience of their lifestyle. How much more would they do to keep/gain power?

#9 I pray that I am wrong, but I suspect that I am not and we may soon see ideology driven assassination of the SC justices as a means to the ends of the left.

If it comes to that we will see ideology driven assassinations of leftists in response.

#10 Most people don't even know the names of the Supreme Court justices, abu do you love, let alone what they look like, nor do their private lives make the news. To people who believe in abortion, killing something that looks rather like a tadpole does not resonate in the same way as killing a person capable of walking independently, so the one does not work as training for the other, no matter how you feel about it.
