Re: U.S. Supreme Court rejects challenge to assault weapon ban
To those who so fervently argue that "shall not be infringed" means that no restrictive laws are constitutional, I hope you will read this decision. As I've noted countless times in 35 years, our opinions about the Second Amendment do not matter. The opinions that matter are those held by at least 5 of 9 Supreme Court Justices.dhoobler wrote:http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-c ... QQjukzG.97
The next time you hear or read a complaint by the "all-or-nothing" crowd that the NRA and/or TSRA "compromise," consider both the source and how things work in the real world. Politics has correctly been described as the "art of the possible." Political and legislative success are the result of hard work by people and organizations who know what is possible, when to promote an issue, and not to overstate their position. Oh yes, experience and credibility are also critical ingredients in the recipe for success.
