Link to the further story of how D.C. is defying the Court decision in Heller, knows it and pushes on. Respect for the law only is important if it is unpopular in middle America. These guys know that the Framers were bad confused people.Not smart like them. Story link here.
Great quote explaining the individual nature of the 2nd Amendment from Justice Scalia in Heller follows:
"Right of the People." The first salient feature of the operative clause is that it codifies a "right of the people." The unamended Constitution and the Bill of Rights use the phrase "right of the people" two other times, in the First Amendment's Assembly-and-Petition Clause and in the Fourth Amendment's Search-and-Seizure Clause. The Ninth Amendment uses very similar terminology ("The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people"). All three of these instances unambiguously refer to individual rights, not "collective" rights, or rights that may be exercised only through participation in some corporate body"
