"Writing in the Virginia Law Review last fall, conservative federal appeals court Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III took aim at the Supreme Court's landmark gun rights opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller. According to Wilkinson, 'Heller encourages Americans to do what conservative jurists warned for years they should not do: bypass the ballot and seek to press their political agenda in the courts.' ..."
"Is Judge Wilkinson right? Should the courts practice judicial restraint when it comes to Second Amendment rights? Alan Gura, the brilliant attorney who argued and won Heller before the Court, thinks not. In a compelling and carefully researched new article ... Gura explains why the Heller Court got it right. ..." ... |

"I don't like the term 'gun crime'--crime is crime, and while crimes, of course, vary in heinousness, that variance is not a function of the criminal's equipment. The term is useful here, though, because today's discussion is about 'crimes' that are only 'criminal' due to the fact that guns are involved."
"An example is perhaps called for. Take, for instance, laws--such as California's--prohibiting faux 'assault weapons.' A violator of such a law need not do any harm--need not, indeed, intend any harm, but intent to do harm is irrelevant to the forcible citizen disarmament lobby--all that matters is that the violator is a 'gun criminal.'" ... |

"This is not necessarily a bad thing. If our legal standards were similar to many other countries, where the accused is guilty until proven innocent, more habitual criminals might remain behind bars, but at the expense of incarcerating more innocents.

"Despite repeated assurances from Barack Obama during last year's presidential campaign and since the inauguration that he 'supports' the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, the new president's first nomination to fill a pending vacancy on the Supreme Court belies his words."
"Second Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor has clearly indicated hostility to the notion that American citizens enjoy a fundamental individual civil right to own and possess firearms. A federal judge who only accepts 90 percent of the Bill of Rights cannot be allowed to become a Supreme Court justice for life." ... |
