He also said that manpads might be subject to fed reg, and that heavy weapons, artillery are under fed purview. Anyone that looks at his statements and gets their knikers in a twist is a dullard.

In a twist? But I so wanted that 120mm smooth bore!

It’s looking very much, on quite a few issues, that the left is doing quite a bit of “concern trolling” to suppress potential voters for the right, since they’re not going to get them this time.

Thank you!--and I agree. I listened to him, and he did not rush to say guns SHOULD be controlled; he said the issue could always be brought up and discussed, and that even the Founders had some controls--i.e. muskets, hand guns--yes!--cannons, no!

I will take 3 more Scalias and 3 more Thomases, and keep Alito.

In the main I concur 100%, but I believe that Scalia may have been communicating a subtle warning to gun rights advocates about Roberts. With Roberts suddenly showing up shaky in the “strict constructionist” vein, any gun rights case that goes before the court is now a gamble.
