In December, the court will hear the case of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York, which has the potential to rival or surpass Heller for its impact on gun rights and gun regulation.
At issue is a New York City ordinance adopted in 2001 that bars residents from taking their guns outside city limits. The ordinance was challenged in a federal lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association’s New York affiliate and three city residents, who argued that the regulation was unconstitutional in light of Heller. |

| America was not formed to be a democracy, but a Republic. If the Supreme Court so rules... Fan-Frickin-Tastic! |

+1 to above comment.
So if SCOTUS declares NYC's gun law unconstitutional -- and it is -- then democracy is ....dead? Because "the will of the people" has been thwarted?
"The will of the people" to violate the Constitution? --- The Highest Law of the Land??
Our ejumakashun system is in dire need of being overhauled!!!!! |

| Sounds like the court has an opportunity to restore our "Constitutional Republic". |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
