194. Both sides can play this game, also
U.S. v. Emerson, No. 99-10331 (Fifth Circuit, 1999) upheld individual rights to bear arms.

and

Parker v District of Columbia (Fifth Circuit, 2007) upholds an individuals right as well.


What we need is a clear ruling from the US Supreme Court. I will argue with any ruling that claims there is not an individual right just as you will argue the other way.

Again, I ask you to answer one question. How do you reconcile the fact the founders drafted the Bill of Rights (individual rights and there is no argument there) but somehow decided to squeeze in a States right in the 2nd. They didn't! The second is a right of the people just like the first and next 10.
