The NRA wants to get the most important gun rights issues before the SCOTUS after one of the other libs croaks. It is a strategy, but they certainly have lobbied forever to kill the DC gun control regime.
I don't care if it's Tiny Tim getting these decisions, I say we keep up the momentum and hammer the antis into the dust.
I don't suppose it ever occurred to them that someone on the other team may spin out first.
As usual the NRA is a day late and a dollar short. In the event that W gets to appoint another Justice there is no way in hell anybody gun friendly is getting past the Senate. FORGET IT! So W is out in 22 months and the Dem Prez gets to appoint one. Again too late; they will sail through the Senate. The time for the NRA to push this stuff was 15 years ago. They blew it. BTW the rest is inevitable - we will lose our rights and then we shall see what happens. The most restrictive bill for gun grabbing -EVER- is in the House right now.
