A fine post and excellent cite. Too bad Roberts isn’t half the Justice that Burger was.
I used to be more tolerant of guns. I still don’t begrudge hunters their rifles and shotguns. I used to think if you were stupid enough to think that you need a handgun at home for self defense, go ahead and knock yourself out. Now I’m against any private ownership of handguns and any non-hunting weapons at all. It’s because gun owners have proven themselves time and time again to be mad as hatters. Somehow limiting someone to 10 shots without reloading is akin to castration. So I say fuck 'em, you want to be unreasonable, so will I.
I hate to break it to you gun lovers, but the NRA does not represent you. They represent weapons manufacturers. The same ones who make money ass over applecart everytime you fools go on buying binges, which you do every time Diane Feinstein farts. So they scare the piss out of you by making you think your pwecious little guns are going to be taken from you, you go ahead and spend all your spare cash on guns and ammos, the manufacturers clean up and kick back your money to the NRA. Enjoy it while you can- I don’t know if we’ll get sensible gun control this year, next year, the next decade, or the next century, but we’ll get there.
