But I got news for you, Atypical Liberal: this country, on demographics alone, is trending Blue. In a generation, maybe less, states like Texas and Florida are going to "tip" solidly into the Democratic column. That means not just that the gun control laws such as one finds in Massachusetts, New York, and California are coming soon to a federal code near you (they are), but also that it is likely that a Democratic president will get the opportunity to appoint not just one but several Supreme Court justices.

And you know what that means, right? That means the asinine Heller ruling is reversed, and the Second amendment is redefined in the proper legal context in which it was drafted. That means dudes wanting to play with guns will have to join their local National Guard, and drill on the quad in the summer heat and winter sleet, if they want to collectively exercise their "Second amendment rights."

Of course, since you are good liberal Democrat - I mean, you post here at Democratic Underground, right? - I'm sure you have not one problem with Texas and Florida going "Blue," right? And I'm sure you have not one problem with a Democratic president appointing justices to the Supreme Court of a liberal bent, even if it means they are likely to overturn Heller, right?

Right?
