30. Exemption?

Reasonable people can disagree about constitutional law but it's pointless if it doesn't provide for the participation of all law abiding citizens.

Exemption? How about INCLUSION.

Until then, your gun rights are special indeed.

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

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
