- majormajor 6y agoInterpreted the second amendment more narrowly. Think for a second.
- mgarfias 6y agoYeah, I did. A better ruling would have been on P&I grounds, as Gura had asked the court and Thomas concurred. THAT would have nuked the drug war from orbit, along with every other instance of modern federal over reach. As far as I’m concerned the ruling was stupidly ruled, and very carefully crafted to not upset any apple carts. ETA: reread your statement above, it was very easy for me to misconstrue “narrow” as in the vote tally.
