Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.
We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them.
For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences.
The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it.
If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser. –9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld
