Gun opponents up in arms as Jerry Brown aids NRA

[-..__...]

Technically... it's not the NRAs case, but nonetheless, it's excellent news.

I anticipate a lot of RKBA deniers heads exploding come the end of June. :smoke:

It may come as a surprise to many of his Democratic supporters, but Attorney General and gubernatorial hopeful Jerry Brown has gone to bat for the National Rifle Association.

The NRA's cause: urging the U.S. Supreme Court to guarantee the ability of gun owners across the land to keep and bear arms.

Last year, the high court struck down a ban on handguns in Washington, D.C., ruling for the first time that the Second Amendment's right to bear arms applies to individuals who keep a gun at home for self-defense. But the court made it clear the ruling applied only to the District of Columbia, a federal enclave.

Now, gun advocates are challenging Chicago's handgun ban, asking the Supreme Court to rule that the Second Amendment equally applies to the states. And there was no shortage of states - 34 in all - jumping on the bandwagon in support of the court hearing the case.

1. Brown is a smart man, and recognizes the wisdom of constitutional standards.

Enforcing all the amendments equally against all the states, rather than the half-assed mish-mash we have now, is the only way to start really equalizing the laws.

2. my eventual vote for Newsom seems even better now.

This MOFO was the mayor of Oakland, which has one of the worst gun violencerates country wide. How dare he?
