Gun owners are assuming that a Supreme Court packed with Hillary Clinton's appointees will probably ratify a law or executive order banning most if not all guns from possession by private citizens.
So what to do? Start digging holes in the back yard? Stock up on ammo and plan to go out in a blaze of glory when they come to your house like they did at Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian compound?
Michael Filozof has an idea. See The Coming National Gun Ban – and How the States Can Resist, to wit:
Should Stevens’s dissent [in Heller] become the majority opinion in a future case, conservative, pro-gun state legislatures could turn the “militias only” argument against the gun-banners by passing legislation expanding the membership of their state militias to all adult residents of the state, and specifically empowering all adults to purchase military-style semi-automatic rifles and magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds.
Governor Abbott should get started on that right away.
Post Script: It would only be a stop-gap. Once it hit the Supreme Court those "living constitutionalist" on the bench would suddenly be saying, "Hey, it's not that alive!"
