Much to do about nothing.

Not true. These knuckleheads are training the the next generation of law makers, judges, and prosecutors. Their anti-Second Amendment views will extend far beyond their classrooms.

The biggie on their list of 47 is Larry Tribe, the prominent constitutional lawyer whose viewpoint is generally slanted leftward. Tribe finally visited the 2A issue and found, to his credit, that it does indeed mean what it says, i.e., it is an individual right, much as Prof. Sanford Levinson did. He (and Levinson) immediately qualified this by declaring the usual no right is ever absolute, can't cry 'fire' in a crowded theater, reasonable regs may be applied for the greater good, yada, yada.

I seem to recall the NRA mentioning this, more in a passing manner, as Tribe is a well-respected darling of the left-leaning mainstream, and even with his backtracking caveats, this was an eye opener. But the NRA would never continue to trot out Tribe's conclusions.

Most of the others the NRA wouldn't mention, except in the context of e.g., shredding dishonest 'scholarship' a la hack historian Bellesiles. Pfft!
