Mr. Hogg, listen to John Paul Stevens

The Supreme Court’s Worst Decision of My Tenure

Throughout most of American history there was no federal objection to laws regulating the civilian use of firearms. When I joined the Supreme Court in 1975, both state and federal judges accepted the Court’s unanimous decision in United States v. Miller as having established that the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to bear arms was possessed only by members of the militia and applied only to weapons used by the militia. In that case, the Court upheld the indictment of a man who possessed a short-barreled shotgun, writing, “In the absence of any evidence that the possession or use of a ‘shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length’ has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument.”

John Paul Stevens Former associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court 

We do not even have to go as far as saying gun owners must be a militia. We need only go so far as to require some legitimate command and control over personal arms. We can grandfather in the target pistols as sport, but carrying a regular hand gun means the cops know who has them and who doesn't.

The expanded gun rights cam from a bad decision kowtowing to the castrattis, like that Instapundit Guy:
District of Columbia v. Heller, which recognized an individual right to possess a firearm under the Constitution, is unquestionably the most clearly incorrect decision that the Supreme Court announced during my tenure on the bench.The text of the Second Amendment unambiguously explains its purpose: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” When it was adopted, the country was concerned that the power of Congress to disarm the state militias and create a national standing army posed an intolerable threat to the sovereignty of the several states.

The second favors Mr. Hogg, and the mommy boys at the NRA can go have sex with steel tubes all they want.
