Dont fall for the BS of the gun rights groups. I thought Gura did a lousy job arguing for the pro gun side. He said at one point that handguns weren’t arms, that he had no problem with govt licencing, trigger locks and other storage requirements, and that “shall not be infringed” could mean “reasonable infringment”. To top it off he was of the opinion that it was ok for govts to regulate arms based on public safety arguments. Other than opposing an outright ban, Sarah Brady would be comfortable with his position. Listen for yourself and decide.
If the court rules an individual right that cannot be infringed, that opens the machine gun/asault weapon argument and the gun controllers will go absolutely ape$hit. There may even be talk of judicial impeachment.
So, with a wink and nudge, the fix is in. It will be declared an individual right that may be reasonably regulated or, as Justice Stevens opined, "It shall not be unreasonably infringed".
He traded all of that away for an “individual right” interpretation by the court. Give me that, he was saying, and I’’ll give you anything you want.
