Most people owned a gun in the late 1700's. So why would justice Stevens make such a rediculous dissent. The reason that it took this long for a case to determine that the right to own a gun is a personal right, is because for most of our nations history this was common sense, If anyone of our founders thought like justice Stevens.... why didn't they show even the slightest concern about this individual liberty? They were however concerned about criminals violating personal rights of life , liberty and property. I've never heard any answer to the idea that criminals don't obey gun laws. Have you? If criminals obeyed laws then we could simply outlaw Crime. Common sense is still alive in America, but it may possibly be on life support.
