A Hall of Famer. Written in reasonably plain English, it conveys nothing.

[Dead Corpse]

A little MORE context.

One can never have too much context, can they?

[abner]

Here is a story.

"Because the Second Amendment does not confer an individual right to own or possess arms, we affirm the dismissal of all claims brought pursuant to that constitutional provision."

They call THAT "declining to review".???????????

My head hurts.

Boomhauer's been in the alley too long. again.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

That's the 9th circus' comments not the SCOTUS I believe.

[bootyist-monk]

Again. And in English this time if you would be so kind.

This has to be the most incoherent post I have ever seen.

Someone come us up with the leg! What you say???

[Old Professer]

Interesting; the author faulted the brief for a spelling error and then this got past his own editors:

(Such bans will not be impossible however; they will simply need to invent some connection between the retired officer and the gun he wishes to posses; for example, the officer has received police training in use of roughly similar types of guns.)

Timothy Rieger, California's deputy attorney-general, said the case involved regulations on “rapid-fire rifles and pistols that have been used on California's school grounds to kill children.”

It's reassuring to see such level-headed thinking in government officials, as opposed to breathless, irresponsible sensationalism.

After all, only a villainous, self-serving pompous ass would use misdirection and hyperbole to promote unconstitutional legislation.

All your post are belong to us.

[Neil E. Wright]

The district court dismissed all of the plaintiffs’ claims. Because the Second Amendment does not confer an individual right to own or possess arms, we affirm the dismissal of all claims brought pursuant to that constitutional provision. As to the Equal Protection claims, we conclude that there is no constitutional infirmity in the statute’s provisions regarding active peace officers. We find, however, no rational basis for the establishment of a statutory exception with respect to retired peace officers, and hold that the retired officers’ exception fails even the most deferential level of scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause. Finally, we conclude that each of the three additional constitutional claims asserted by plaintiffs on appeal is without merit.

Hey supremes, did you assholes ever read this???

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms
REPORT
of the
SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION
of the
UNITED STATES SENATE
NINETY-SEVENTH CONGRESS
Second Session
February 1982

Printed for the use of the Committee on the Judiciary

Click here to read the report BY THE SENATE that finds an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT to keep and bear arms

"The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner."

Hi Joe! Would you help interpret this article?

[pro2A Mom]

I agree, you are right! There are stronger cases out there, and the possibility of a friendlier Supreme Court in the future.

Don't forget the New Orleans Circuit ruling is still out there.

Actually, if you read SO9's link, its very good news.
