Not according to the Supreme Court.

See, I just don't understand the hacky "NRA wrote" stuff. They presented a case and the SC ruled. End of it.

I feel the same way about Abortion and the ACA garbage. The SC has ruled on it. Either the composition of the SC must change AND agree to hear / overturn established rulings...OR someone is gonna have to get an Amendment passed to alter the Constitution.


It is silliness to point at the prevailing side and pick out individuals or organizations and say "THEY DID THIS DASTARDLY DEED!"

Our system is set up so the the SC makes these rulings....deal with it.

I get what you are saying, and agree for the most part, but there is a pretty big difference in trying to change SC ruling with regards to Abortion and the ACA that trying to change the interpretation of the 2A.

But I haven't done that. I simply posted an article I thought was interesting (and since this thread is on page 5, I'd say I was right).

I agree with you. The S.C. has ruled, now let's more forward. But seriously: I'm not pro gun control. I think it's a waste of time and it won't do what people think it will do. People's gut reactions are very interesting though.

Exactly!

I'm sure as soon as the SCOTUS rules in favor of Gay Marriage this same author will produce a book and numerous articles decrying how the gay lobby overturned two centuries of legal precedence. .... ah, NOT!

The whole premise of the article is a joke.
