I don't flat out want abortions banned, they will still happen, I know that. Cocaine is illegal, but still is used. My contention is that Abortion is a States Right's issue. Firearms ownership, is not a State's issue as it is specifically enumerated in the Constitution of the United States.
However, the SCOTUS has interpreted the 2nd Amendment to mean more and to deliver more rights than it explicitely states. Current interpretation dismisses the "well regulated militia" clause of the 2nd amendment as moot. The amendment and its meaning has evolved over time.
It has evolved strictly at the whim of judgeships and politicans, not by definition or by amending the amendment. The Bill Of Rights says today what it said 200+ years ago and the meanings of the words have not changed. You need to consult dictionaries and documents of the period. You cannot interpret a word like "militia" that was used 200 years ago with a dictionary from 2008.
One only needs to understand history to know that in the time of the founding, all firearms were suitable for militia use and all men over the age of I believe 16 were part of an "unofficial" militia.
That being the case, the 2nd Amendment applies to ALL FIREARMS and ALL CITIZENS. Any other interpretation is contrary to how the founders wrote and interpreted the law at the time of the founding. That being said, obviously firearms, war and tactics have all changed. Weapons have become much more advanced and I contest the citizenry a whole lot dumber when it comes to what is a right vs freedom vs responcibility vs what the Goberment can and can not do.
I don't want to see everyone with automatic weapons and I don't want to unequivically provide all 6 year-olds with firearms, but the Supreme Court got the decision correct. It is sad that 4 justices decided that the Constitution was incorrect and that international opionions are much more important than how our country was founded 200+ years ago.
It's amazing to me that "rights" that do not exist in the constitution are held to high reguard (Abortion) but the rights that specifically enumerated are routinely attacked and attempts to curtail them are constant.
If you have the right to terminate a baby, I have the right to own firearms. Actually, I have the right to own firearms (and I do, lots of them) wither or not you have the right to an abortion.
Abortion does not come from a Constitutional Cloth, it comes from an activist set of judges digging into a supposed "right" to privacy that does not exist and never has existed in the Constitution.
