In other words, in the opinion of one of America's most respected conservative constitutional-originalist judges, the madman Wayne LaPierre and his co-conspirators are fraudsters. We can only imagine what he might have made of the majority opinion in Heller v. DC, but it seems highly likely he would have regarded that decision and its author very much in the same light, and perhaps have used the same terminology to describe it.
Fortunately for liberty loving American's, Dumbass Burger was wrong. The individual right to bear arms is in fact enshrined in the Constitution.

I hope he's spinning like a top in his grave! Rotten bastard!

And, how about this statement by Circuit Judge Robert Bork, renowned constitutional scholar and foremost exponent of "originalism" in its interpretation:

"[The] National Rifle Association is always arguing that the Second Amendment determines the right to bear arms. But I think it really is the people's right to bear arms in a militia. The NRA thinks it protects their right to have Teflon-coated bullets. But that's not the original understanding."
- Robert H. Bork, Distinguished Lecture Series, UC Irvine, (March14, 1989).

I am thankful Mr. Bork was not confirmed.
