I think I have recently come to understand how much of the progressive legal Left in this country thinks. They believe that the U.S. Constitution represents not our identity, but as merely an important moment in the Hegelian historical evolution of the human race. The 2nd Amendment, to those people, is so… 18th century. Does not apply to us today or in the future. It’s time is past. I realize that this sounds simplistic, but these people do indeed relative our traditions. They bring in legal thinking from other countries and other institutions. Or, they bring it in from the chameleon Marxism of the post-modernism found in academia.

They are urban elites who look down on us hayseeds. And that is the truth.
