"NFL wide receiver Plaxico Burress just finished twenty months in prison for carrying a firearm. New York prosecutors said that the gun was unlicensed. The Constitution begs to differ."

"One might think that this injustice would spark the former Steeler and Giant to lay down $1,000 for a National Rifle Association lifetime membership. Instead, after losing the bulk of a $35 million contract, endorsement deals, and nearly two years of his life behind bars, Burress, perversely, has joined forces with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence." ...

Second Amendment injustice

"In June 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment to the Constitution protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm 'and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.' Quoting the famous British jurist William Blackstone, the court held that 'the right of self-preservation' permits a citizen to 'repe[l] force by force' when 'the intervention of society in his behalf, may be too late to prevent an injury.' This grandiose language must ring awfully hollow to Orville Lee Wollard who, two years ago tomorrow was sentenced to two decades in a Florida prison for protecting his family with a firearm." ...
