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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
