Looks like the gun bigots expect to lose Heller...
... but of course they have no intent to discontinue their unConstitutional agenda, do they? Of course not! "We've lost the battle on what the Second Amendment means," campaign president Paul Helmke told ABC News. "Seventy-five percent of the public thinks it's an individual right. Why are we arguing a theory anymore? We are concerned about what we can do practically."How's that crow taste, Helmke? Frankly, as a special interest group whose major policy initiative is viewed by 75% the American public as unConstitutional after years of effort and significant funding, I'm surprised they haven't all committed suicide in shame. With something other than a gun, of course. Although, to be honest, I want to see the actual decison before I decide to celebrate too hard. That could come down from the court any day now. Instead, they are trying to rally the troops for slightly-less-unConstitutional gun laws: "Universal background checks don't affect the right of self-defense in the home. Banning a super dangerous class of weapons, like assault weapons, also would not adversely affect the right of self-defense in the home," said Henigan. "Curbing large volume sales doesn't affect self-defense in the home."I'll state the obvious: Banning assault weapons won't pass strict scrutiny. Curbing large volume says won't pass strict scrutiny. Universal background checks might... if the other side gets lucky. Were I Mr. Henigan, I'd be looking for another line of work. |
