Scalia Opens Door For Gun-Control Legislation, Extends Slow Burning Debate

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said  Sunday the Second Amendment leaves open the possibility of gun-control legislation, adding to what has become a slow-boiling debate on the issue since the Colorado movie theater massacre earlier this month.

Scalia, one of the high court’s most conservative justices, said on “Fox News Sunday” that the majority opinion in the landmark 2008 case of District of Columbia v. Heller stated the extent of gun ownership “will have to be decided in future cases.”

“We’ll see,” he said.

  1. The Supreme Court has already proven that the Constitution doesn't mean much to them. By allowing Congress to use the Interstate Commerce clause to establish laws in the most unusual and extreme circumstances, they have proven to be more of a rubber stamp than an independent body. In a nutshell, what I'm saying is "we are screwed". Buy every gun you can. Now. These Orwellian totalitarianists are about to do the unthinkable.

  3. It is clearly the theater's own anti gun law that allowed this guy to pull this off. If the usual carriers were allowed to carry in the theater and not have to go through metal detectors to get in, they could have minimized or prevented tis althgether. The guy brought his in from an exit door where he had them planted outside. He did not care about laws. Permit carriers do.

  4. 9:06 in a dark theater during a movie while smoke bombs were set off against a man wearing body armor, an armed person in the crowd wouldn't have stopped him or slowed him down. More likely more innocent people would have been gunned down
