Bush’s thinking on this is beyond me, and his stance on this issue will not help the GOP in November.

Not at all - It is outright eerie.

I don’t think it will hurt the GOP, the candidates will have to stand on their own. I agree his stance is mystifying, as have been many of his actions.

Also—disturbingly—though OSG affirms that the Second Amendment secures an individual right, it does not call it a “fundamental right”—which is very important for legal reasons—and asks the Court to deny it the level of protection of a fundamental right.

Which is patently absurd on its face. It is specifically mentioned in the Constitution, how can it be anything other than a fundamental right?

He can’t get re-elected so now he doesn’t care what his numbers look like. He has an agenda and he doesn’t care who he tramples to accomplish it. We knew several years ago that his support for the 2nd Amendment was only superficial.

Now we see that he believes that the government can restrict your RKBA rights if it can dream up a good enough reason. And who decides what reason is good enough? Why, the government, of course!
