I’ll ask this [rhetorical] question again: Why is it so all fired important at this point in the nation’s history to chip away at our basic right of self defense?
Why is it so hard to understand that restricting the rights of the Law-abiding only empowers the criminal element of society?
That chipping away has been steady since 1915 or so. At this point, SCOTUS is defending 70 or so years of unconstitutional law, and all the prosecutions and deaths that have been perpetrated using long-standing unconstitutional law. "Saving face" writ large.
