     "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 (looked at) ... it will have to be decided," Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said on "FOX News Sunday." [Su.29Jul12]
     "I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," he said.  "But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities." [??? - rfh]
     "I don't happen to believe that America needs new gun laws," he said.
     On being replaced when he retires: "Of course, I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing everything that I've tried to do for 25 years, 26 years, sure.  I mean, I shouldn't have to tell you that.  Unless you think I'm a fool."
