James, you validate exactly what I am saying. The Constitution does not mean what we think it says... it means what the Courts think it says. The U.S. Supreme Court has the final say when a Constitutional issue advances that far.

Unfortunately, the Second Amendment is not the only amendment which has been misinterpreted, and infringed upon. Most of the infringements and outright violations we see today have sprung from the Progressive Movement. Here at Bunkerville, Nevada, for example, the Governmennt put strict limits on free speech by attempts to limit the number of protesters, and limits on exactly where they could speak. You will not find an amendment in our Constitution that says there must be a separation of church and state... only that the Government cannot inflict a religion on the people. That idea came from a Supreme Court Justice, Learned Hand as I recall, in his written opinion of a Supreme Court case where he stated that "there ought to be a separation of church and state". It is repeated as if it was written by James Mason himself and discussed and debated in the Federalist papers!

This is why it is so important to elect presidents who are likely to nominate Justices who will faithfully interpret the Constitution in the manner that the Founders intended. Their intent when they wrote the Second Amendment was abundantly clear, and that was recently affirmed in the Heller and McDonald cases. Still, the Liberal Democrat lawmakers are trying to do end runs around these decisions. They should be put in prison for contempt of court. The tallies were 5-4 with the Liberal Justices against us. It was that close, yet King repeatedly tells us that the Second is in no danger. And yes, there have been Justices who obviously lied during their confirmation hearings and later did the opposite of what the president who nominated them expected. But Kagan and Sotomayor will be a thorn in our sides for decades.

Yes, we all have to be concerned because the attacks are relentless. We need to first understand that it is folks like King who are at the grassroots of trying to subvert what the Founders intended. They will lie and LULL and pretend that they are on our side.

They are not on our side. We will never convince them to come over to our side. It is what it is, and we need to be intelligent enough to recognize it, or else the erosion will continue.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
