Napolitano recognizes that the right to own firearms is an individual, not a bogus collective right, as has been interpreted by the U.S.
Supreme Court since its infamous Miller decision in 1939. Not only is
the government satisfied with criminalizing the mere ownership of
guns, but it also actively prosecutes individuals who legitimately
defend themselves and their property from criminal attacks. He ends
his chapter on gun control with this chilling statement:
Constitutional chaos and loss of innocent life: Thats what happens
when the government violates the Constitution. Just think what
might have been avoided if law-abiding Americans had been
armed on those ill-fated planes on September 11th 2001. (p. 64)
