This is not a news paper, it is a personal and biased opinion.

My personal concerns are the level of scrutiny assigned to 2nd amendment cases in the future by the Supreme Court and the continued distrust of many groups and politicians for an armed society. Remember that even Ghandi regretted very much the disarming of his countrymen. Unfortunately, these insights, if not revelations, often come in the rear view mirror, after the total ban has been instituted. Then, it is usually too late. It seems best to vigorously exercise our rights (guarantee, in terms of the 2nd amendment), rather than lose them. Thank you Georgiacarry.org for your timely brief.

Unusual and unique content for the 2nd Amendment debate, and for that reason, it should be carefully considered by the SCOTUS. A big thank you to the authors. Well done! Excellent brief.

Our own sorry history bears this out: Disarmament was the tool of choice for subjugating both slaves and free blacks in the South. In Florida, patrols searched blacks’ homes for weapons, confiscated those found and punished their owners without judicial process.” –Silveira v. Lockyer, 328 F.3d 567, 569 (9th Cir. 2003) [...] […] GeorgiaCarry.org has posted a copy of their brief (PDF) in DC vs. Heller, and it’s a good read. “[T]he simple truth-born of experience is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people.
