| An odd ruling, in that the court ruled that if the public perceives that it is safer, they let the law stand... no analysis at all as to whether the public is, indeed, safer. Any judge who rules on the emotions, rather than the facts, should be impeached and removed. |

“If a ban on semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines reduces the perceived risk from a mass shooting, and makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit,” the 12-page majority opinion said.
Such brazen thumbing of the nose at an enshrined fundamental right with the scope of precedent established by Miller, Heller and McDonald is breathtaking.
How the public feels overrules constitutional commands?
I seem to remember the public in Arkansas feeling that the Little Rock Nine shouldn't be permitted to attend Little Rock Central High in 1957. Is Brown v. Board of Education therefore illegitimate?
This arrogance cannot be allowed to continue unaddressed. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
