The Second Amendment states: "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."
Then there's the Supreme Court case of District of Columbia v. Heller (2008):
The Supreme Court votes 5 to 4 to strike down a Washington, D. C. ban on the private possession of handguns. Justice Scalia authors majority
opinion. In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) the Court considered the following question: Do D.C. Code Section 7-2502.02(a)(4), which generally
bars the registration of handguns; Section 22-4504(a), which bars carrying a pistol without a license; and Section 7-2507.02, which requires that all
lawfully owned firearms be kept unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock, violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not
affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes? The Court concluded
that the Second Amendment does establish an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense and hunting. The Court concluded that the D.C.
gun ban could not stand. At the same time, the Court recognized that the government can regulate gun rights. The Court said its decision should not
be interpreted to question the right of government to: prohibit felons and the mentally ill from owning weapons, prohibit guns in schools or public
buildings, ban certain categories of guns not commonly used for self-defense, and to establish certain other conditions on gun ownership.
In light of this, the only way I can see the government being able to take our guns away is through another false flag operation on a scale large
enough to get enough people in this country freaked out and willing to give up their guns.
Herein lies my real fear: Not what people do with guns, but what our government will do to get the guns away from us.
