Due to stocks crashing and economy in toilet =Need a gun
Illegal aliens=need a gun
Oil/gas price records= need a gun
Food prices up=need a gun

Hmmm maybe they were just confirming the right to defend oneself :)
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    well, you dont have any guaranteed right to have ammo. maybe the courts would use their common sense and say if you have a gun you need ammo, but they might allow laws that restrict how much ammo you can have...say no more than 200 rounds in total, and no more than 50 rounds par calibre/guage....
    as people keep saying on these forums, stock up while you can!

    Confirm gun ownership ?

    Hardly.

    What they confirmed was their power to CONTROL you...AND your gun.

    You need to read the whole opinion of the court. In section 8 the Supreme Court said that the right to bear arms applied to wepons not used or designed for use in a military capacity. This means that the .223's, 9MM's, .45's, .50 BMG's etc. can be regulated and restricted as the state and city sees fit since they are and were designed for a military purpose (initially). Also in section 10, the term "bear" means to carry with the intent purpose of a confromtation (i.e., self defense). This also can be restricted and regulated as the state sees fit. So we can own a weapon, but the state can tell you which one and how to own it. This with a possible Democrat President coming in the end of the year could spell big problems for the pro-gun community.

    I agree; if Obama wins, he, along with a democrat congress, will wreak havoc on gun owners! Stock up and be ready.

    Ah. yes...a mccain supporter. Another nose to tail, nose to tail republican.

    Forget that nccain has been trying for many years to get rammed thru congress a total NICs check for every gun show ..and every place where 3 guns are displayed..forget tht mccain like bush will sign an assault weapon ban ..forget ALL that.

    Just trust articletheforth about the innate goodness of mccain.

    Also, the main trust of the court wasn't about so much your individual rights to have a gun ..as it was about the governments overriding need to control those arms.

    Of what use is an individuals 'rights' ..when the government writes the rules covering those 'rights' ?

    They become PRIVILEGES, people...PRIVLEGES

    Highball: I'm a Ron Paul supporter; if he is on my voting ballet in November, he will get my vote, if not ... don't know yet, but I will say - better 'nose to tail' than tail up nose or head in ground, and don't trust me about anything; trust youself!
