So Rootie thinks the 2nd Amendment doesn't cover NYC?

It doesn't at the present time.

Until the Supreme Court says that the 2nd amendment also applies to state and local governments, and is not just a restriction on the federal government, then it doesn't apply to actions by the NYC authorities.

That's just the plain legal reality of the situation, and criticising reality is important, but has limited value.

How so? We mean to tell as many voters as possible, and they can decide. THe news is being spread as we post. I think the value in that is extremely limited if I want Rudy as president, don't you?

You Sir are confused. The USSC has never ruled that the RKBA didn't cover every city, state, and square inch of the USA.

Some liberal craphole cities have gotten away with restricting peoples rights because nobody has challenged it all the way to the USSC.

That will happen when we elect a real conservative POTUS in 2008 that will replace some liberal turds on the bench that will give up and retire!
