The people have the right to keep and bear arms. It's really that simple.
No, the states have a right to militias- well-regulated-militias.
Not every whackadoodle having a machine gun.
Boy, are you thick or what? It's one thing to call the cops during regular times, it's another thing when the police abdicates the streets to the criminals and thugs, as they did during an entire week of rioting in every major city thoughout the country.
Okay. They did that. Country's still here. The world didn't end. Most of the demonstrations were peaceful. The property that was damaged was covered by insurance.
Here's the ugly truth. 800,000 law enforcement officers can ONLY control 330,000,000 Americans if they have the trust and confidence of the people.
When you have cops shooting people in the back, choking people to death, etc. etc. etc... they don't have that.
Roe and Obergfell were both jiggery pokery,
Naw, buddy, they were practicality.
First, Roe. Roe was built on top of Griswald v. Connecticut, which established that you have the right to contraception. In short, Roe was the logical extension of that ruling. NObody today claims that Griswald was wrongly decided.
Obergefell was built on top of rulings such as Loving v. Virginia. It had already established marriage as a right.
Heller flew in the face of years of previous rulings that had found that the states to indeed have the right to regulate gun ownership and possession, in fact, nearly 200 years of precedent. In fact, US v. Miller was the law of the land for 70 years before the Crazy Heller Decision.
