It's been about a month since the Supreme Court reinterpreted the 2nd Amendment to close to what the Founding Fathers stated: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
It's not a "right" to be violated at the whim of the government...
Since that date with the Supreme Court, several states and municipalities have begun to rethink their position on the 2nd Amendment. As I mentioned in earlier blog entries, some cities have reversed their ban on weapons.
More are following that logic. Most are doing it, not because the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court told them to, but rather because they want to avoid a costly legal battle. So, once again, it's not about what is the right thing to do, but rather the cheap, expedient thing to do. It works out in our favor, sure.. but it leaves a foul taste in my mouth. We didn't win because we were right, but because the other side is cheap...it's still a win, though for all our rights.
