Clearing the Second Amendment haze
It should be known that the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution were written to protect individual rights from Government power, not the other way around.
The money quote from a Washington Times article follows:
“The text of the Second Amendment clearly protects the right of “the people” - not states, not militias, but “people” to “keep and bear arms.” By striking down the D.C. gun ban, the Supreme Court can affirm that basic principle and restore the Second Amendment to its rightful place of dignity within the Bill of Rights.”
