Chicago and New York City's gun laws are just as fucked up, and they have voting representation in Congress. They'll get no slack from me, either.

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
