Now that Scalia has died, are gun-lovers feeling...

...quite worried?

After all, both the Heller and McDonald v. Chicago decisions were 5 to 4 decisions, with the CONSERVATIVES on the U.S. Supreme Court favoring SELFISH PROPERTY RIGHTS and the LIBERALS on the court favoring THE RIGHT TO LIFE.

Antonin Scalia was NOT one of the liberals, but instead was one of the conservatives. Now he is gone.

Let us reflect on one of the statements of one of the liberal justices: "In sum, the Framers did not write the Second Amendment in order to protect a private right of armed self defense. There has been, and is, no consensus that the right is, or was, 'fundamental.'"
-- Justice Stephen Breyer, appointed by Bill Clinton. And now, Justice Breyer awaits a new colleague. Are gun-lovers everywhere going to do what they can to stall the replacement of Scalia?

Is the right to have a particular piece of property, a gun, so crucial to them that they would do what they can so that a Republican president can appoint Scalia's replacement?

We shall have to see.
