Thanks, Pharmboy.

It's always best getting the perspective of those with the boots on the ground.

In light of recent DC turn of events, is NY looking to repeal Rudy's Regs anytime soon?

Ha...that would be gutsy to do, but why not? Judge Silberman was brilliant in his decision, so why not try it in NYC? Silberman's point was simple (I'm paraphrasing here): If men with the genius of Madison and Adams only wanted the state militias to be armed, they would have said just that, and no more. But they did not; they went on, "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The most excellent judge goes on to say that if "the people" here in the Second, only means people in the collective sense, it would be the only time that "people" were EVER meant in the collective rather than the individual sense in the whole Constitution.

Game, set, match.
