Yeah, it was a small-win-vs-total-defeat, so I'll take the small win. And thank George W. Bush for his two Supreme Court appointments. The RATs will spend the next couple of years coming up new wrinkles to try out at lower levels. I think the "militia weapon" vs "non-militia" will be one of them.
Perhaps the scariest thing I've heard from the dissenters (it takes a strong stomach, and I can't handle it all at once) was Stevens saying "I can't see how the Framers would allow the Constitution to trump 'policy' [government decrees]". Bastard!, that's why the Constitution exists. If he can't figure that out, he should turn in his black robe, and be removed from the federal payroll. That's even scarier than trying to ban high-cap mags "for the childrun".
My appearance here for the next 24 hours will be a bit irregular. I've been without power for over 24 hours now, although "they" say it will be only a few more hours. But I'm running my laptop off an inverter plugged into my 12 volt battery jumper. It's one thing to crank over an engine, another to keep a laptop online for any length of time.
Well phrased Win-mag; small win vs total defeat. Like you, I’ll take it. And as usual, the anti-crowd won’t give it up with more lawsuits. One city at a time.
