We have the right to free speech!
We have the right of religious expression!
We have the right to peaceful assembly!
We have the right from unreasonable search and seizure!
We have the right against self-incrimination!
We have many right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America!
Each of these rights has reasonable restrictions and limitations that have been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Why is it that when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, some feel that right is above all other rights? Why do some feel that all other aspects of the US Constitution should be thrown away in favor of gun rights? Why is it that some feel all our rights are governed by the final interpretation of the Supreme Court except when it comes to gun rights?
The U.S. Supreme Court finally made it's ruling on individual 2nd Amendment rights. You may not like it. You may disagree. You may have felt let down. But they ruled and they said what your constitutional rights are and what is not your constitutional right. You finally got your chance and day in court. You even had the Justices stacked the way you wanted them to decide this case. They made their decision. It was a victory for gun rights but it wasn’t the VICTORY that some had mistakenly built themselves up to believe was the constitution. These were Justices that were picked for their pro guns stance and yet they still didn’t give you what you thought you were entitled to. They gave you the rights that the Constitution of the United States of America gave you, nothing more – nothing less. Get Over It!
