a different approach

"Heller and the First Law"  STEPHEN KRUGER, Lawyer Email: kruger3...@yahoo.com District of Columbia v. Heller is portrayed as a victory for the Second Amendment “right of the people to keep and bear Arms,” though it is not. Justice Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion, took back as much as he gave. Heller is a hollow victory. Ordinary men and women are left holding the bag, as usual. Elected officers at all levels provide themselves with police officers to protect them, but elected officers subject ordinary men and women to restrictive firearms legislation. If the Second Amendment right were given its scope, ordinary people would have the upper hand over criminals. Elected officers fear individual efforts, and that fear motivates firearms restrictions. Free men and women who make individual efforts to attend to their requirements don’t need elected officers and their enslaving “programs.” http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1428616 ******************************************************************* Professor Joseph Olson, J.D., LL.M.                                   o-   651-523-2142  Hamline University School of Law (MS-D2037)                    f-    651-523-2236 St. Paul, MN  55113-1235                                                 c-   612-865-7956 jol...@gw.hamline.edu                              http://law.hamline.edu/node/784
