“Considerable attention has been paid to an argument made by Justice John Paul Stevens in his dissent to the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the Second Amendment, as though Stevens had identified precisely why the majority was all wet. ‘The Court,’ wrote a seemingly astonished Stevens, ‘would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons!’ Well yeah! That is exactly what the Framers intended when they penned the Second Amendment, affirming the individual citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.” 907/12/08)
