2nd Amendment Challenge -- DC v. Heller

[AMoore]

Aaron, You speak of "policy".  I am speaking of constitutional right.  The best government is the one that fears its people, not the other way around.  If we repeal the Second Amendment and then the First, Fourth etc., what redress do the people have to restore their right's.  If you don't like firearms or the fact that others may own them, that is fine, express your views.  But don't suggest that there should be a modification or repeal of a right we all hold to suit your beliefs.  Every firearm sold through a dealer since 1968 has been registered Federaly.  To make people jump through hoops to exercise a right smacks of tyranny.  We now have the Patriot Act, what could be next?  I do not live in fear, I want to exercise ALL my right's as long as they don't interfere with others right's.

I do not argue for a repealing of the 2nd Amendment, only for what I believe would be an accurate interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.  That is what our courts do.  Moreover, the founders, within the Constitution, specifically provided for a process to repeal amendments in recognition that the people may want to do so in the future.  Not all amendments provide for inalienable rights.
