CNS is reportng some great news this morning:
“The U.S. Department of Justice has declared that the Second Amendment explicitly recognizes the right of individual Americans to own and carry firearms.”
The story describes a Justice Dept Report, on that very question. Their conclusion?
The 103 page report, with 437 footnotes, concluded that, “… the Second Amendment secures a personal right of individuals, not a collective right that may only be invoked by a State or a quasi-collective right restricted to those persons who serve in organized militia units.”
Well, that’s that. It’s now on record.
Good.
