Ah, yes, was it not Plato himself (The Republic...) who first drew this analogy?

In reply to Pistol Whippin'

I'd say that 2A and 44 state constitution corollaries trump all attempts at limiting any right to keep and bear arms by ANY political entity.

What has been forgotten/ignored is that the US Constitution, with the Bill of Rights is the law of the land, ratified by the several states either when it was adopted, or upon their entry into the Union.

In answer to the comment about the people in a community deciding that they don't want guns: BS! Most likely such ordnance was passed by those in the political majority at the time, perhaps by slight of hand, or midnight back room deals.

That is also why the Constitution limits the powers of any government to disarm the populace, or to stifle Assembly, or Speech, etc. The purpose is to keep the Majority from limiting the guaranteed freedoms of any Minority.

A "Democracy" is best illustrated by 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner; in a "Republic", the sheep is armed.

That doesn't mean state

In reply to What should seem obvious is

That doesn't mean state legislatures are pretty - it's the combination of individual, state and federal that improves our immunity. The Founding Fathers were right.

Doesn't seem like I was romanticizing. Should have included state AG's and courts in the mix. Eric Schneidermann also helped push back against mortgage fraud, before he was co-opted.

Whether Spitzer succeeded or not, he did play a role of watchdog in the mix. And local people still pay more attention to details in Albany than the tsunami of legislation and lobbying in Washington.

Awww, they were made for each
