Consider the claim made by the Second Amendment Foundation that “no malady, however severe, can nullify or even temporarily suspend the exercise of a constitutionally delineated fundamental right.” This claim is categorically and demonstrably false. The Supreme Court has consistently held that even the most fundamental of rights and liberties can be curtailed if the government has a sufficiently compelling interest. The right to keep and bear arms is no exception. |

"The Supreme Court has consistently held that even the most fundamental of rights and liberties can be curtailed if the government has a sufficiently compelling interest."
The Supreme Court has been consistently WRONG!!!
There is no exception for a sufficiently compelling interest anywhere in the Constitution. The Constitution states an absolute: "Shall NOT be infringed"! Nowhere does it say unless a political hack decides otherwise.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
