To many Americans
The Second Amendment is an anchor
In a world of change that is
Accelerating faster and faster
The Supreme Court has just
Issued a six to three decision
In which much of the 63 pages
Of the majority opinion
Examines several centuries of
Often quirky and outdated
Gun legislation
The conclusion of this opinion is that
A good amount of state gun oversight
When considered under the Second Amendment
Just ain’t right
So standing in the way
Of effective gun regulation
Is a deeply felt adherence
To a murky Constitutional provision
