In a stunning first-of-its-kind announcement, the New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense (NJCSD) predicts that the Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) will confirm an individual right interpretation of the 2nd Amendment in Heller vs. DC, foreshadowing an end to decades of acrimonious debate over the meaning of what is widely considered to be a core principle for many Americans.

Using an advanced market research method known as a KJ analysis (named after its creator, Kawakita Jiro) a team of five analysts independently reviewed the statements made by the Justices during testimony in the Heller vs. DC case to arrive at this conclusion. The KJ method was developed as a way to examine complex problems where differing interpretations may exist and has become popular in business for its effectiveness.

The project was conceived and led by Joe Ficalora of SBTI Inc., a Texas-based management consulting firm. This is the first known time such an analysis has been applied to a contemporary legal issue and represents a groundbreaking implementation of this method. “Though we've been painstaking in our analysis, there’s always the remote possibility we may be surprised,” said Ficalora. “However, my experience indicates that the Supreme Court will confirm an individual right interpretation. I’m willing to stake my reputation on this in public, and in front of my colleagues in this industry.”

For many years, anti-gun factions have argued that an earlier decision by the Supreme Court in US vs. Miller established that the 2nd Amendment implied a collective right, meaning that private citizens had no individual right to own or carry firearms for self-defense or home protection.

“We're relieved that the hard facts point to what we've known all along - that the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a personal right guaranteed to the American people as our legacy of freedom, preserved for us by our Founders and does not apply solely to the military or National Guard as some mistakenly believe," said Robert Kreisler, President of the NJCSD. “While we don’t mean to be presumptuous by leading the Supreme Court with this announcement, it is important to give America hope that our nation has not swung hopelessly toward socialism and that there are still those who support a traditional view of our Constitution and the liberties it was intended to enshrine through all ages.”

Arthur Rosbury-Yoder, NJCSD’s Executive Director, added, "This is just one example of the out-of-the-box kind of thinking we try to do at the NJCSD. Our organization exists to overcome the fear and ignorance perpetuated by liberals and socialist zealots who appear determined to eliminate our natural rights and by a mass media by a liberal bias against core principles of liberty, especially when it comes to gun rights and self-defense. When was the last time you heard the media put out a positive gun story of any kind?”

The New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense is a not-for-profit organization which has a focus on self-defense and Second Amendment rights. For more information please visit www.njcsd.org or call 877-690-5460.

A very common sense prediction. Now lets just hope that SCOTUS uses the same approach and comes to the same conclusion. Lets hope that their decision will cause unconstitutional laws to tumble like dominos and that our right will be fully restored.

I am hopoing and praying that this will go our way. You never know what will happen with the court. We know how it should be if they understand and follow the constitution.

The USA as we know it is in need of our prayers.

[Scarecrow]

I guess this is great.. until the whole nafta/nau stuff... then what?

[DrDavidM]

This is hopefully great news. I have to agree though, this country needs our prayers.

[SMSgtRet]

Amen to that.

The USA 'as we know it' is already gone. Hopefully, with the current moves to restore lost rights we can continue the momentum and return the USA to what it should have been all along.

Eternal Vigilance is not a trite phrase.

I believe it was Abrham Lincoln that once said,"When the people of this nation grow weary of its government they shall exercise their Constitutional right to ammend it,or their revolutionary right to dismember and overthrow it."
Note,those are Abraham Lincoln's words,not mine,I am NOT going to start a revolution.
Anyway,I also hope the SCOTUS sides with the people and common sense and declares it an individual right.Though i will not give up my guns either way.
