FREEDOM PROCEEDS IN WYOMING

This is kinda like watching the fall of the Wall in Berlin,
with all of the communist slave states quickly getting their freedom after much too long in slavery.

If too many future victims r too well armed,
then it is too dangerous to be a violent criminal,
but not as much fun.

Here is a nice case to which the USSC has lovingly cited
with approval in D.C. v. Heller 554 US 290; 128 S.Ct. 2783 (2008)

The USSC says the following:

" In Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. 243, 251 (1846), the Georgia Supreme Court
construed the Second Amendment as
protecting the “natural right of self-defence”
and therefore struck down a ban on carrying pistols openly.

Its opinion perfectly captured the way in which the operative clause
[i.e.: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"]
of the Second Amendment furthers the purpose announced in
the prefatory clause, [i.e., the militia clause]
in continuity with the English right:

“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 . . . ”
