"...on the basis of its radically expanded interpretation of the Second Amendment,"
The radical bit was when it was limited to less than the current interpretation. Restoration is in progress, but be clear that it's not over until the tens of thousands of gun laws are gone.
"while giving no weight to the state’s interest in reducing the number of firearms in the public sphere."
Correct. The state's interest is of no consequence when it contradicts the Constitution.
"Ultimately, all that mattered was the right of “law-abiding citizens” ... to decide they wanted to carry a gun to protect themselves."
Right again! That's the funny thing about rights. You don't need a reason nor permission from any authority to express them. |

Watching this supposedly highly educated individual stumble from one emotionally charged argument to another is really quite sad. Maybe he should try as tissue first. |

QUOTES
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") |
