  favor of teachers bringing guns to school.  That being said, I’ve got something of a nuanced position on this one in that I don’t think people have a right to bring their guns to work. Now, in the instance of schools and given this trend where people/kids go nuts and start shooting up schools, I think it’d be a good

  Good stuff. Two holders of concealed-weapons permits surprised armed thugs who approached them in west Orlando this week. Both men opened fire rather than surrender their wallets.

  or employment of force. Guns themselves, of course, aren’t civilizing.  But an independent society that embraces the private ownership of guns is civilizing.  Mostly because it’s hard to oppress an armed citizenry, and so things like debate and free speech are a must.

I’m hopeful that the Supremes will issue the right verdict, but after the Kelo decision (where even the normally spot-on Justice Scalia got it wrong) who knows. The correct ruling in this is blindingly obvious.  The 2nd amendment sets out that
