The Los Angeles Times editorial page is less a journalistic enterprise than it is a partisan grievance noticeboard. The editorial board’s descent into trivial activist messaging was on full display in a pair of recent pieces lamenting the federal judiciary’s recognition of the Second Amendment. In both, the editorial board denied the core rulings in the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinions in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago that recognized the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. In neither piece did the would-be jurists at the L.A. Times offer evidence or argument as to their incorrect position or why the legal analysis of self-important regime press agents should carry any weight whatsoever. |

I'm an intelligent person and a hardcore 2A acolyte. Long before Scalia memorialized himself with the exquisitely reasoned Heller opinion, I studied the Miller holding.
The Court assumed arguendo that Miller had an individual right to bear arms, remaining silent on the government's collective right argument. It blew right past that nonsense, instead focusing on what types of arms the Framers considered within the ambit of constitutional protection. Sadly, a deceased Miller had no representation at the hearing and there was no evidence before the Court that short shotguns were indeed "ordinary military equipment."
You know the rest.
Officially, the Court had assumed an individual right to arms; it wasn't even an issue.
My, how they LIE.
