Since precedent no longer matters...
If Democrats get the majority on the Supreme Court again, we can overturn Heller and restrict guns again like we have for most of US history going back to the 1700s.
I would LOVE to ask DU if they feel Citizens United is one of those sacred precedents...
Ooooh! Is elleng poking the hive??

3. Alioto's draft presents arguments that could be repointed towards gun restrictions.
Blue States could pass laws challenging the current Federal/ States balance.
You have a right to a gun.
You do not have a right to privacy about that gun ownership.
Cities can enact laws for the common defense.
There are no explicit rights to be free of rigorous background checks, registrations, insurance, etc.
Historically, towns have had gun bans.
The current lawlessness of gun ownership is a due to 21th century precedent, not legal thinking from a half century or more past.
Guns are an real and present danger to the 'right to life'.
Um, isn't that what they're dong now?

Obviously the argument is that if we can allow states to regulate individually the amendment that allows abortions then we can do the same for guns.
Right?
