Immaterial. Sooner rather than later, the SCOTUS will grant certiorari to challenges to so-called "assault weapons" bans and the issue will become moot. The Court is largely obliged to follow its own decisions and rationale (stare decisis), and the Court in US. v. Miller set the criteria for arms within the ambit of constitutional protection. Semiautomatic rifles and pistols that are "in common use" are the textbook examples, so don't drop the balloons and confetti just yet. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
