The Bill of Rights is like a
family portrait, and the Second Amendment
must not be excluded from the picture.
On the basis of both text and history, the
2nd Amendment guarantees an individual
right to keep and bear arms. It is a civil
right, and a citizen's right is not dependent
on his zip code.
From the Supreme Court in NYSRPA v.
Bruen (2022):
"... [T]he Second and Fourteenth
Amendments protect an individuals right
to carry a handgun for self-defense outside
the home. ... When the Second
Amendments plain text covers an
individuals conduct, the Constitution
presumptively protects that conduct."
Amicus brief
supporting NYSRPA, by Cottrol, Dowlut, &
Beard
The
Supreme Court cannot throw out Heller
without throwing out Obergefell. The
Court ruled as fundamental both the right of
an individual to own & possess arms and
the right of an individual to marry a person
of the same sex. However, Hellers
holding is based on a longer history and a
stronger foundation than Obergefell's
holding.
I.e., if Obergefell stays at the
party, so does Heller. It is a
marriage pronounced by the Supreme Court.
57 South Texas Law
Review 215 (2016).
If the rule of law is to prevail, Supreme
Court decisions that hold that a right is
fundamental require obedience by lower
courts.
In the wake of the Supreme
Courts Heller and McDonald
decisions that clarify and protect Second
Amendment rights, federal and state inferior
courts engaged in massive resistance.

(Spring 2014).
