question # 6. Why do opponents of gun control so often ignore U.S v. Miller?
Gun control has been a controversial issue for years. A vast majority of citizens believe that if gun control is strictly enforced it would quickly reduce the threat of crime. Many innocent people feel they have the right to bear arms for protection, or even for the of hunting. These people are penalized for protecting their lives, or even for enjoying a common, sport. To enforce gun control throughout the nation, means violating a persons Constitutional rights. Although some people feel that the issue of gun control will limit crime, the issue should not exist due to the fact that guns are necessary for self defense against crime, and by enforcing gun control is violating a citizens second amendment. The second amendment states the citizens right to own and bear firearms. Freedom to poses arms is a guaranteed citizen right. If the constitutional rights of a citizen are violated, it can be a complex issue. In the case of US vs. Miller during the year of 1939, The supreme court voted against individual rights to bear arms. Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws. This is why all citizens should be aware of all of their constitutional rights. Enforcing gun control is not going to have an effect on the crime rate, because it will not keep criminals from purchasing weapons. If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. If a person is willing to pay a price they will get what they want. Gun owners have to protect themselves from these criminals, and all gun owners must be informed of their second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Addition to Question 6
The second amendment states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." A well regulated militia is no longer necessary to the security of a free state. This amendment was written before the United States had an Army, a Navy, an Air Force, and a Marince Corps. At that time, a well armed militia was the only sort of military force they had to resist foreign powers such as Britain and France. The necessity of a militia is the justification for this amendment, and without such justification the amendment loses all validity and meaning. Furthermore, the amendment refers only to "arms" without defining them. "Arms" are weapons. If the second amendment gives me the right to bear any arms I see fit, what is to stop me from keeping a dirty nuclear bomb in my kitchen?

Question#3
Larry Nelson
How would you reduce the federal court caseload? In considering where you would reduce federal court jurisdiction, also consider where you might increase it. What do your choices reflect about your political values?
To reduce federal caseload; increasing the number of federal judges and reducing Federal Jurisdiction, remove the federal gridlock, by returning all drug cases to the State Jurisdiction. However, the caseload problem is particularly acute in some metropolitan jurisdictions, where federal judges must postpone civil trials for months and sometime years to accommodate criminal trial schedules of major drug case. Then monitor the process of the Speedy Trial Act by the district court. My choices reflect, too allow the state to prosecute all drug ceases, however; overseen by the district court in matters of rights violation
