Unlike some other constitutional questions, we do not have to guess how Judge Kavanaugh would approach challenges to gun regulations, because he laid out his views in a dissenting opinion in a 2011 case known as Heller II. Those views are outside the mainstream of judicial thought about the Second Amendment. If they prevail on the Supreme Court, they threaten to invalidate a wide range of some of the most important and effective gun safety regulations at the federal, state, and local levels. |

Eric Tirschwell, an antigun prosecutor, wrote this dribble.
20,000+ gun laws in America, and we still have evil criminals about killing innocents. All those "gun safety" laws are working so beautifully well.

"[Kavanaugh's] views are outside the mainstream of judicial thought about the Second Amendment."
SCOTUS precedent determines the mainstream of judicial thought, you schmuck.
And if your inane assertion were correct, then the 'mainstream of judicial thought' would be out-of-sync with the Superme Court of the United States. Lower courts thumbing their noses at SCOTUS precedent does not the mainstream make.
That's not the way constitutional jurisprudence works in this country, and you know it.
What kind of lawyer ARE you, anyway? |

If your premises are correct, why has the crime rate gone down in the last 10 years as the number of guns has gone up?
Don't confuse liberals with facts. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
