Great GAWD and Little Politicians.

[Subdeacon Joe]

Please, respond to the drivel here: http://www.pressdemocrat.com/opinion/4590710-181/sunstein-how-the-gun-lobby?TSM

 

 

 

No one should take away people’s rights. But with respect to “the right to arm ourselves,” we have lost sight of our own history.

A quick quiz: In what century did the U.S. Supreme Court first rule that people have an individual right to own guns? The answer is the 21st century. It was not until 2008 — the year Barack Obama was elected president — that the court initially ruled that the Constitution imposes serious barriers to gun control. And it did so only by a narrow 5-4 margin.

That's because no one ever QUESTIONED what it meant till recent times.
