Gnomon, if one was to assume that Obama was able to appoint like minded judges to the SC, you would have to agree that the SC can and likely would interpret the 2cd in such a way as to likely curtail firearm ownership from how it exists today. Impossible to know how much but it would be different. It is within their rights as the SC to do so.

The point I was trying to make is that interpretation rests in the hands of a very small number of people, not the much larger group of gun owning Democrats.

And I agree that yahoos don't do anyone, even themselves, any favours.

I'll have to get that issue of the New Yorker. Always a good read.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
