Unlike some other constitutional questions, we do not have to guess how Judge Kavanaugh would approach challenges to gun regulations, because he laid out his views in a dissenting opinion in a 2011 case known as Heller II. Those views are outside the mainstream of judicial thought about the Second Amendment. If they prevail on the Supreme Court, they threaten to invalidate a wide range of some of the most important and effective gun safety regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. |

Eric Tirschwell, an antigun prosecutor, wrote this dribble.
20,000+ gun laws in America, and we still have evil criminals about killing innocents. All those "gun safety" laws are working so beautifully well.

"[Kavanaugh's] views are outside the mainstream of judicial thought about the Second Amendment."
SCOTUS precedent determines the mainstream of judicial thought, you schmuck.
And if your inane assertion were correct, then the 'mainstream of judicial thought' would be out-of-sync with the Superme Court of the United States. Lower courts thumbing their noses at SCOTUS precedent does not the mainstream make.
That's not the way constitutional jurisprudence works in this country, and you know it.
What kind of lawyer ARE you, anyway? |

If your premises are correct, why has the crime rate gone down in the last 10 years as the number of guns has gone up?
Don't confuse liberals with facts. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
