three of scalia's former law clerks-two of whom I went to Yale with and another who worked with me at DOJ all said the same thing. Scalia's dicta was to get the erratic Kennedy on board.
It will help reduce straw sales and keep guns away from prohibited persons. It can work much like Canada registers handguns. How it will save lives should be obvious. I dont know how many lives. There is always a balance between freedom and safety and only saving one life would not be enough
Never mind the fact the oft-quoted paragraph by Scalia doesn't say a quarter of what the anti-gun left thinks it says.
According to what the quoted portion of the Heller ruling states in plain language, one could make the rational, logical argument that the united states government has already implemented all of the firearm-related restrictions it is legally permitted to do so, and cannot implement anything new that does not already exist.
I suspect Kavanaugh is a bit more solid than the erratic Kennedy when it comes to gun rights. If RBG's seat becomes available in the next 2 years, we could really get a good court on gun rights
Is it understood on the part of yourself that such a statement of admission, is an open concession to the fact that John Stevens improperly meddled in a role that was not his to engage in, and as a result may have not only interfered with the legal process, but also obstructed justice?
I don't see anything improper about a Supreme Court justice persuading another justice to partially change his mind on an issue. What do you think happens behind closed doors when there is a disagreement about a case? Was the NRA meddling when they persuaded Congress to change the Brady Bill so that a five day waiting period would no longer be mandatory once the NICS was implemented? Maybe you are out of touch with how things work in the real world.
John Stevens was making his objection known long before the united state supreme court ever took up the Heller case to rule on. He had effectively made up his mind on the matter long before it was reviewed, and nothing was going to change it. Indeed not, as laws change when circumstances demand such. Once it became possible for federally licensed firearm dealers to perform an effective background check within minutes, there was no longer any legitimate need for the waiting period to remain in place, as it served no further point in even existing. Such as what, precisely? What are some examples being referred to on the part of yourself?
So, your whole premise is based on what someone with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo is claiming MIGHT happen?
Your entire argument for gun control is based on your irrational, unsupportable opinion on what "might" happen.
Makes you wonder if Trump with try to cut deals with the democrats to save his own slimey hide. He knows that there is enough dirt on him for him AND his toxic clan to be in real trouble. Mr “Art of the Deal” just might start throwing bones to stay in office and the biggest bone he could throw is gun control
A) you have no real idea WHAT my stance on “Gun control” is and B) Not irrational C) Definitely supportable by research backed statistics and D) Can see a straw man when I meet one
Why? What do you think the Democrats can do to him? Wait... are you under the impression the Democrats can remove him from office? Bwwwaaahahahahah!
Really? That's the best you have? Tell us again how Aussie gun laws prevent mass shootings in Australia when law abiding Aussies have full access to firearms fully capable of being used in same.
Trump blows with the wind - how many times does he rescind what he has just said?? . https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ess-second-white-house-gun-meeting/381145002/
FOX reported exactly what the ****** stated, he didn't like the heat and tried to backpedal his ludicrous statement, but it was already too late for him.
