BS Suits?	NaturalHigh	Feb 2012	#65
Because some yahoo filed a law suit that got the 5 right wing Justices to vote the NRA way.	Hoyt	Feb 2012	#66
And who so provocatively attracted that law suit?	SteveW	Feb 2012	#68
You didn't read the dissenting justices opinions did you?	AtheistCrusader	Feb 2012	#75
Stevens and the other three who agreed with his dissent didn't buy into the NRA's view.	Hoyt	Feb 2012	#76
Didn't they?	AtheistCrusader	Feb 2012	#77
I am fine with that. Keep them in your homes - although with some restrictions on numbers and type.	Hoyt	Feb 2012	#78
The 2nd doesn't appear to allow for that, and the dissent leaned heavily upon Miller.	AtheistCrusader	Feb 2012	#79
