    Dear idiot "journalists" doing pieces on citing how public opinion is overwhelmingly against anyone owning a gun:

    The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts...fundamental rights may not be submitted to a vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.

    -- Robert H. Jaskson, SCOTUS, West Virginia Bd. of Ed. v. Barnette



    and just to be clear:

    “It is clear that the Framers and ratifiers of the Fourteenth Amendment counted the right to keep and bear arms among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty”


    -- Samuel Alito, SCOTUS, McDonald v. City of Chicago

    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
    -- Ayn Rand, Anthem (Chapter 11)
