Interesting that Alan Dershowitz says this. He is not following the liberal playbook.

Dershowitz may be a liberal, but he's got a sharp legal mind and has long been an advocate on behalf of people against the excessive (and often abusive) power of the state. He seems more libertarian than liberal on many of these issues.

I heard an interview with him on the radio some months ago in which he made an interesting point that you don't hear much from people engaged in partisan politics. He said he's opposed to private gun ownership personally ... but understands that the Second Amendment recognizes this absolute right among free citizens of the United States, so he's opposed to most forms of gun control on legal grounds.
