I have not seen any legislative proposals to ban all guns. That same SCOTUS, however, does acknowledge that the Constitution gives government the right to regulate guns in society. From the comments on this forum, it seems like certain right-leaning folks want to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution to accept. In the Second Amendment, the Founders declared that the reason for the right to bear arms was the necessity of "a well regulated militia." In light of this language, it is laughable to see conservatives claiming fidelity to original intent question the government's right to impose gun regulations. Even the five conservative justices in the Heller case would not go that far. As I said before, the fight over the extent of gun regulations is a political one, not a Constitutional one.

" Amen!! They can only circumvent the Constitution by appointing dufus Liberal Judges. They're at least smart enough to know that they don't have the support to amend the Constitution by the prescribed means.

" Yes, the Second Amendment (Bill of rights) provides that Congress (The Federal Gov't) has some power.......................That could be the most stupid thing I've heard.

If the 2nd ammendment is up for grabs that so are ammendments 1,13,14,15,19, and 24. If the far left feels so strongly about removing guns from society than start a movement to ammend the consitution and settle this once on for all.

Does everyone who lives in the country have this "compelling need for a large cache...? Does a less reasonable person have more rights than one who is realistic about needs?

The debate over assault rifle bans is political, not Constitutional.....Norcal's comments demonstrate why a person living in the remote countryside has a more compelling need for a large cache of firearms and ammunition than someone living next to a police station. This demonstrates why a one-size-all approach to gun regulation is inappropriate.

Statutory law continues to recognize the existence of an unorganized militia, which basically includes any male between the ages of 17 and 45 who is not in the National Guard. This is the premise under which a President can institute a draft....The SCOTUS in Heller decided, 5-4, that the right to bear arms is an individual right, concluding that the prefatory clause "a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free State" merely announced a purpose for the right to bear arms, but could not be seen as a limitation.....It could be argued that the Court's slim majority in Heller engages in judicial activism by stretching the right to bear arms beyond the stated purpose of the right - going to show that both ends of the political spectrum can rely on or ignore "original intent" as it suits them in particular circumstances....Even the Supreme Court in Heller does not question whether government can regulate the individuals' possession of arms.....That is just the wishful thinking of the NRA and its followers who know a little bit about Constitutional law, but not a lot.

In a world where we’ve been taught via school, mass-media culture, sports, and our communities that to be a man is to be aggressive, in control, and, yes, violent, being obsessed with guns is its logical conclusion. Until we begin to change definitions of manhood to peace, nonviolence, and the ability to settle conflicts or beefs civilly, gunplay will remain a very viable option for far too many of us.

Senator Catharine Young, Republican of Olean, in western New York, said she had been receiving calls from constituents who were worried about what action the Legislature might take. “The vast majority of people who own firearms in my district are law-abiding and extremely responsible,” Ms. Young said. “They aren’t the problem; it’s illegal guns and untreated mental illness that are the problems.” Cracking down on high-powered weapons has long been a priority for many urban Democrats in the Legislature; to draw attention to the issue, one senator even went to a gun shop near Albany to buy ammunition for an AK-47 while the transaction was recorded with a hidden camera. “A lot of people look at this as a battle between people who want to take away all the guns and people who want to have no restrictions on guns; but most members of the public and most members of the Legislature understand that reasonable restrictions on guns make sense,” said Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh, a Manhattan Democrat. Last weekend, he said, brought another reminder of the urgency at hand: a 16-year-old from Mr. Kavanagh’s district was shot dead on Friday.
