As the quote appears to make Scalia look anti-2A; the facts are he indeed was the opposite.

In a controversial 2008 decision, the Supreme Court declared a handgun ban enacted by the District of Columbia unconstitutional, but the majority noted that, nonetheless, gun ownership was not an unlimited right, said Scalia, who wrote the opinion in that case.

"It will have to be decided in future cases what limitations upon the right to bear arms are permissible," he added. "Some undoubtedly are."

Scalia was asked whether constitutional protection would extend to weapons used by James Holmes in the Colorado movie theater massacre that allow one to fire dozens of rounds per minute.

"We'll see," he answered. "I mean, obviously the (Second) amendment does not apply to arms that cannot be hand-carried. It's to keep and bear — so it doesn't apply to cannons.
"But I suppose there are handheld rocket launchers that can bring down airplanes that will have to be … decided."

It may appear that way with regards this meme quote. I would point out that this quote is similar to something President Biden recently said and THAT may be the real point of this meme. If a conservative hero like Antonin Scalia would say that rights are not unlimited, then it can hardly be a radical left idea.

The rights are not unlimited.. right. So what Scalia said - if you cared to read the context that surrounds the quote - is that one cannot carry a “rocket launcher” under the 2A. Therefore, the 2A is not “unlimited”.

Scalia isn’t calling for a gun grab of ARs or pistols - as those fall under 2A.

This meme quote is taken out of context- per liberal tactics.

Then he doesn't know much about our constitutional rights which guarantee our God given right to protect ourselves and our families and our property. Maybe he shouldn't be on the bench.

Perhaps it is you whose opinions on 2A are divorced from 200+ years of SCOTUS and lower-court rulings on this issue.

But anyway, the archconservative legal titan Antonin Scalia died in his sleep in 2016 so you no longer have to worry about him coming for your guns

Or, as Trump would say, "died in his sleep"

Yes, I now remember he was the one that died recently.

And yes, they are coming for our guns. But that isn't even the issue. The issue is they're coming for our freedoms. We have the right to self protection and I'm sorry if you believe a fist fight or a phone will definitely the job, that ain't happening. Guns are the best and most efficient way of self protection. Pissing your pants when you're about to be raped isn't self protection.

You should be able to rest peacefully knowing he is no longer on the bench - as he died in 2016. Don’t be mislead by this meme; as Scalia has defended 2A cases in his time.

I don't really care. This type of thinking is dangerous.

I’m pro 2A. I’m just saying - this OP numb nuts is using a quote out of context to appear anti-2A. Basically, Scalia was not talking about our right to walk around with a AR-15, he said this as some weapons - like an RPG launcher is not covered under the 2A. Thus the 2A is not “- a right to carry any weapon whatsoever..” as Scalia said.

For Godssake, Scalia wrote the Opinion on Heller, which this spot-passage was taken from. The case that literally clarified that the right to keep and bear arms had nothing to do with a militia membership.
