Let's Hope the Supreme Court Weighs In On This

Second Amendment Issues

Judges rap court on gun-rights case -- The Washington Times

"The panel opinion erases the Second Amendment from our Constitution as effectively as it can, by holding that no individual even has standing to challenge any law restricting firearm possession or use. This means that an individual cannot even get a case into court to raise the question," the 32-page main dissent said.

It said "rights" were retained by individuals while "powers" were delegated to governments, so "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" means what it says.

A barbed postscript by Judge Alex Kozinski, writing alone, said history would be vastly different had American slaves or Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto been able to arm themselves.
