An America without individual gun ownership: If Heller goes bad.

If it's time to bury 'em, it's time to use 'em!!!

How about all gun owners start forming "Well regulated Militas" per the constitution?

the militia has to be called on by the state. Forming your own, standing army is a no-no.

The meaning of the second amendment is easy to understand if any background research is done, just reading the Federalist Papers will show the path. If SCOTUS takes the convoluted path away from the original intent it will be time for each Free Citizen to read the preamble to the Declaration of Independence and make his own decision.

A positive Heller decision will give impetus for pro-gun organization to go on the offensive and start the long needed rollback of bad, ineffective, and counterproductive gun laws.

Matter of fact rollback should be the watchword of anyone interested in limit, constitutionally constrained government. It makes no sense to enact "good" legislation and leave "bad" law in place.

(T)he militia has to be called on by the state. Forming your own, standing army is a no-no.

While in a way, I agree, what if you're in a state where the governor is either a whoose, or, heaven forfend, a heavy lib himself, and goes along with the Fed program ... do we just sit it out? What say should we have .... WOULD we have???
The idea of a "private militia" is not a particularly easy thing to swallow, but if it's the only alternative?

I think that worrying is premature.

I predict a very narrow ruling which changes little except for DC. Individual rights will win, but there will be the question of the state's right to regulate which changes nothing.

They are going to rule that the Taliban in Gitmo have the right to bear arms next, but citizen's don't.

Legislating from the bench has got to be stopped.
