Christine,
<<Lather, you know as well as I do that no court has ever upheld the meaning of the Second Amendment as protecting the right of individuals to possess weapons. >>

I beg to differ. Supreme Court decisions until recent times did uphold the right of individuals to be armed (own weapons). It's only recently that this has changed. it has been written in supreme court decisions that people should be armed well enough to be able to resist the government should it become a tyranny. Now that it has though, it is too powerful to resist. The only real deterrent we have to greater tyranny is that there ARE 250 million guns out there. Too many to deal with, thank God.
