Focus on that. The SC framed the question to be answered by both sides. The DC brief DOES NOT address the question the SC asked.

Got it yet?

Again, you need to search out and READ the question the SC is asking in this case.

Hope that begins to enlighten you.


What he said!!!!

This issue, as I understand it, is a Judge ruled that a disassemble firearm, as the statute/law required, is NOT a firearm.  That due to this statute/law people in that locations were having their 2nd Amendment INFRINGED.

The SC is taking up the appeal made by the D.C. Government to keep this statue/law in place.

Now it is POSSIBLE that the militia issue MIGHT come into play during the SC session due in about June of 2008.

Then again it may not.

So?

All this militia stuff your crowing about may NOT be a factor.

I also point out that MANY people agree with the 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT.

If the SC rules otherwise that COULD result in a disaster for this country.

 They more than answered the question very well I might add with plenty of case law behind them, but you might not see it through the peep hole.

I sure don't want to read all those pages but... I would love to see what they consider a "sophisticated collective right"

I would like to know what a collective right is period..  a collective right seems to mean... no right at all.   Why not just say that "the right of the people" means.. the right of the government?

Tears of joy for being announced runner up to your "Miss AHBB political primadonna" title. I surely gave it my best but I can't help but be happy for you winning the thread and all. I think it was the talent competition where you proved you could mentally masterbate straw and still measure yourself between strokes without missing a beat .. so to speak.

As a drive by poster, you are a rookie when compared to Arlo. You've still too much character to really beat him out for the crown. You actually do contribute to some threads.

I've never seen Laz need any help around here.  :)

Post the question that the SC gave to both sides in this case. It's out there, it's easy to find. Then I'll at least know you tried to figure out what this case is about.

After you post it, I'll help you out a little with what's wrong with the DC brief.

Until you understand the SC question though, there's no point in even trying to help you.
