  1. From the bleachers cheering you all on, I would agree with this assessment, sad as it is. The list is long of state cases that basically surveyed what they thought the peasants would tolerate, the way another pending case in another jurisdiction was likely to go, and then did some revision that rendered the pending case moot. While it's wending its way I'd be reluctant to start doing too much public dissection, tempting as it is. FOID is the right answer. Anything less than FOID they'd regard as a win because we all know it's not about rational thought processes. Y'all are on my prayer list though...
  2. Precisely. Universal Background Checks is a euphemism in my view for something more foundationally dangerous, to wit: Denying a free-person the right to dispose of their personal property (or not) as they see fit, outside anything the gov't is allowed to regulate because of some hooks they have into commerce. In my view, it's a dangerous step - except for those who will trot out "but... common sense dictates..." - they love the idea. I don't buy it, never will. These are good discussions though & I continue to wish you all some serious luck.
  3. Literally just came by to wish you all,well, perhaps not the best of luck but the best of timing in terms of the next court(s) the case gets heard in. I have close friends in IL, so just wanted to tack on some well-wishing. It occurs to me that, post-Heller or not, it is sad that no one in a court seems to have embraced the 2nd Amendment in the way that Murdock v. Pennsylvania embraced the First, e.g., "No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefore." and the doctrine of "freedom of press, freedom of speech, [and] freedom of religion are in a preferred position", indicating that certain fundamental human rights have prerogative. Would that more jurists took that approach with the 2nd. Fair winds & following seas in your journey.
