Been seeing a lot of stuff about how the 2nd Amendment says nothing about granting individuals permission to own a firearm. Mentally insane Keith Olbermann being chief among them.
I'd post a link but I am apparently blocked by Olbermann on Twitter. Can't see his tweets. Can only see em second hand.
This is the first time I have found I am blocked by anyone. Olbermann! Heh. Awesome.
Other, less famous, say that only Scalia thought it an individual right, and everyone else consider it a group right. Well, sue somebody. Take that case to SCOTUS and get the group right nonsense ruled on. Our side had to wait 75 years, so, good luck.

IIRC it was unanimous (9-0) in Heller that it was an individual right. Even the dissenting opinions agreed with that.
ReplyDeleteEvery right listed in the Bill of Rights is an Individual Right. They also forget that the Bill of Rights are constraints on the Government, not individuals.
