On September 23 the Los Angeles Times editorial board restated the paper’s position that the individual right to keep and bear arms was created by the Supreme Court via District of Columbia v Heller (2008). The board then made clear their belief that SCOTUS “erred” in doing this and reasserted that the Second Amendment was meant to cover a collective right, not an individual one.So, why doesn't the Los Angeles Times ( and all the other gun control proponents) accept that "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms" as the "Law of the Land?" These same people expect conservative to accept gay marriage and Obamacare as settled law. Why can't they do the same regardiong the 2nd Amendment, which is explicitly written into the Constitution, as opposed to the "Right To Privacy", Obamacare, and Roe vs. Wade?
According to the Times, “The Supreme Court erred in the initial Heller decision by upending an interpretation of the 2nd Amendment that had been embraced for half a century — that the amendment’s reference to a ‘well-regulated militia’ limits the right to keep and bear arms to organized military units, such as the National Guard.”
