All of us can have hopes dashed against the wall with No BOR absolute. Not my fundamental belief, a right given by GOD can't be given, changed or removed. John Locke.
I'll stand by the Brief Amicus Curiae of Gun Owners of America, Inc.,
Gun Owners Foundation, The Heller Foundation, and Conservative
Legal Defense and Education Fund in Support of Petitioner
"
B. The Exercise of Second Amendment Rights Must Not Result in the Forfeiture
of Other Constitutional Rights.
The First Circuit’s decision violates the principle that the exercise of one constitutional right may not permissibly be conditioned on the forfeiture of another
constitutional right.
page 24.... For if the government could deny a benefit to a person because
of his constitutionally protected [rights], his exercise of those freedoms would in effect be penalized and inhibited.
This would allow the government to ‘produce a result which [it] could not command directly.’ ... Such interference with constitutional rights is impermissible.”
Id. at 597. Here, Petitioner was deprived of his Fourth Amendment right to be “secure in his house ... against unreasonable searches and seizures” because he exercised his Second Amendment right to “keep ... arms....”
After Heller, Respondents cannot prohibit Petitioner from exercising his Second
Amendment right to keep a firearm in his home for
self-defense, and the First Circuit may not allow the City to deprive Petitioner of the “benefit” of the warrant requirement so as to allow his firearms to be
seized.
Heller did hold 2A is based on "Text, History & Tradition"! Both in Heller and McDonald.
