We often hear that this election is the most important in years. But what makes this election so important? Well, for me, one major issue is that during the next four years the President may get to nominate four new Supreme Court justices.
The Second Amendment is currently hanging by a thread. With the present makeup of the Supreme Court there are five justices who believe that private citizens have the right to own firearms, and four liberal justices who don’t believe the Second Amendment is an individual right. If just one of the five conservative justices retires and President Barack Obama is President, the Second Amendment will cease to exist. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
