As a resident of the state where the amendment
originated, I would like to see the court rule before the mayor of Pa. and his Philadelphia
socilists take our second amendment rights away.

The ACLU isn’t anywhere near this issue. It was the American Civil Rights Union that filed an amicus brief on the cert petition.

The ACLU is a commie organization? I always thought of it as a lobby for terrorists. Osama bin Laden’s lobbyist in Washington.

What I can’t fathom is how the National Guard is even mentioned in a second amendment conversation. If you were to read the state consititutions of both MA and NH (states with polar opposite views of private gun ownership) you would find that the militia definition specifically EXCLUDES members of the National Guard from being in the militia. Their definition of militia is crystal clear that all other citizens over 18 are in the militia. That then would be the “people” and not the National Guard have thier rights protected by the constitution. This should be a non-issue and D.C. should not have been able to violate the rights of its citizens for over 30 years any more than Ray Negian and Eddie Compass should have been allowed to infringe the 2nd A rights of the citizens of New Orleans after Katrina. The real question should be not wether of not SCOTUS will take Heller, but how the hell did this get this far?

Robert you’re totally wrong.

No serious Con law scholar would
give you much intellectual veracity.

and so is the 2nd. otherwise their all useless.
