U.S. Constitution; Articles VI; Clause II:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
U.S. Constitution; Amendment II; Restrictive Clause:
"the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
The "Declaratory clause" of Amendment II cannot be used to justify "rules", regulations", or "laws" against "the right of the people". For that right was expressly Constitutionally removed from government regulation. Our government can indeed enact limited rules and regulations for the "militia":
Article I; Section 8; Clauses 15 & 16:
"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
"To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress"
Article II; Section 2; Clause 1:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States"
However arms in the hands of the people at large, which are not enrolled in the militia. Are Constitutionally removed from the purview of our governments. Our governments are expressly Constitutionally denied any and all authority over that specific right. All that they have power to do is provide punishment for abuse or misuse of that right. But they are expressly Constitutionally FORBIDDEN from removing the right.
They CANNOT remove the right as punishment for a crime, for they are expressly forbidden from doing so. For that was the whole intended purpose of Amendment II to begin with. It was demanded by We The People due to the fact that the State of Massachusetts had passed a 'law' which disarmed those that had participated in Shay's Rebellion for 3 years. Which 'law' almost brought on another revolution because it had caused universal disgust throughout America. And THOSE are the ACTUAL CONSTITUTIONAL FACTS.
It is most certainly not the duty of the court to decide which 'infringements' are permissible and which are not. As the Constitution itself declares that the right "shall not be infringed" PERIOD. There is no ambiguity or room for interpretation in those words. And the court is as much BOUND to obey our Constitution as any other hired or elected servant.

So then, as is Constitutionally PROVEN above, the treasonous Supreme Court has violated our Constitution and the oaths they have taken to "uphold and defend" it. Which of course makes their ruling NULL and VOID. In FACT, it can justly be held that the court has committed treason. For the right of all Free American citizens to keep and bear arms in Self-Defense is one of the INALIENABLE Natural rights held most dear by the men that framed our Constitution:
“We condemn, and with arms in our hands,–a resource which Freemen will never part with,–we oppose the claim and exercise of unconstitutional powers”–Journals of the Continental Congress, Dec. 6, 1775.
“At a time when our lordly masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, it seems highly necessary that something should be done to avert the stroke, and maintain the liberty, which we have derived from our ancestors. But the manner of doing it, to answer the purpose effectually, is the point in question.
“That no man should scruple or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing is clearly my opinion. Yet arms, I would beg leave to add, should be the last resource, the dernier resort.”–George Washington, April 5, 1769 letter to George Mason. [University of Virginia, The Papers of George Washington, LB, DLC:GW. From The Papers, Colonial Series, 8:177-80.]
“We established, however, some although not all its important principles. The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved), or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person,freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.”–Thomas Jefferson, To John Cartwright. vii, 356. (M., 1824.) (Jefferson Cyclopedia).
“The right of self-defence never ceases. It is among the must sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”– President James Monroe, Nov. 16, 1818 message to the U.S. House and Senate. [Journal of the Senate of the United States of America, November 17th, 1818..]As well as those that followed after them:
“To take from the people the right of bearing arms, and put their weapons of defence in the hands of a standing army, would be scarcely more dangerous to their liberties, than to permit the Government to accumulate immense amounts of treasure beyond the supplies necessary to its legitimate wants.”–President Andrew Jackson, Message to U.S. House and Senate of Dec. 5, 1836.[Journal of the Senate of the United States of America, 1789-1873. TUESDAY, December 6, 1836.]
“The right of suffrage is one of which every American citizen is justly proud. But this right is of no importance, if the power it confers is to be destroyed by the fraudulent votes of others. In what do the citizens of this country differ from the subjects of the despots of the old world? Mainly in the fact that they possess the right of suffrage, and the right to keep and bear arms in its defence. It is the right of suffrage and the right to bear arms, which principally distinguishes the freeman from the slave. It is by means of this right that the people govern–that they legislate for themselves, and execute the laws when made, through agents of their own choice. Take this right from us, and we are no longer free. Preserve it from fraud and corruption, and we never can be slaves.”–Gov. Wilson Shannon, December 8, 1840. [Democratic Standard, Georgetown, O., Tuesday, December 22, 1840. New Series.–Vol. I. No. 21. Pg. 4 – (Cont’d from Pg. 1)]
