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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
