I think that yours and Blood of Tyrants’ sentiments are just plain wrong. Even if the court did decide that the second amendment means what it says, do you think the Schumers and Bradys of the world would somehow find reason and stop what they are doing? I don’t. They’re weasels and if the Supreme Court issued a ruling against assault weapons bans and handgun bans, they’d pass another law in a state like California and try to get a district friendly to them to impose it on the rest of us.
If you really think that the National Rifle Association is just out to fleece people, ask Larry Pratt and Aaron Zelman if they agree with you. Both of them think that NRA is the big gorilla, no matter how much they might disagree with NRA’s stand on some issues. And to suggest that NRA doesn’t do anything is to deny the RTC and Stand Your Ground revolution in this country. NRA was the biggest supporter of that. What they accomplished was a near miracle.
They might try to pass them, but once the Supreme Court has ruled on it, every court in the land now has guidance on how to rule on the 2nd Amendment.
BTW, the NRA sent a letter to the ‘Rat Congress letting them know that they would support MORE “common sense gun laws” and they are not working to repeal a single gun law anywhere in the whole country.
