Just picking the right ground on which to fight. Bush needs the NRA energized again during his next campaign.
The NRA wants something significant. Key 2nd amendment LEGAL opinions that REVERSE the liberal claptrap of the past 2 decades is a good starting point.
Once you have the correct interpretation of the 2nd amendment established, then you can use it to go after specific laws (assault ban) that violate it.
To do it the other way around is to invite highly emotional, politicizing debate. To deal with the general priciples of self-defense and the citizens' last chance against a renegade government is more philosophical and less polarizing.
Well,ya gotta admit that will surely "settle it" for a lot of people.
Could I get a ref on that for my files, s'il vous plaît ?
