Conclusion
The anti-gun lobby has used its falsified hysteria over AWs to incredible advantage. Vast numbers of people, including judges, who recognize the right to choose to keep a handgun in your house for self-defense regard owning an AW as only slightly less looney than insisting you need a bazooka to resist burglars or home invasion robbers.
I am not saying that AW bans can never be overturned under the Second Amendment. But that will only come after a solid basis of Second Amendment law has been established by many prior Supreme Court cases. Leading with an AW case is like "leading with your jaw." It is Second Amendment suicide.

Conclusion:

Kates is indeed claiming "that AW bans can never be overturned under the Second Amendment."

He, and the NRAs' appreasment group, have in effect bought into the anti-gun lobbys falsified hysteria over AWs. He claims that there are:

"Vast numbers of people, including judges, who recognize the right to choose to keep a handgun in your house for self-defense, ---
[yet they,] -- regard owning an AW as only slightly less looney than insisting you need a bazooka to resist burglars or home invasion robbers."

This is rank bulls**t, and hype of the highest order..
With 'friends' like this in the NRA, who needs enemies?
