Apologies if this is too much of a a drive-by, but the LA Times had an interesting op-ed today. They're hardly known for their support of the 2nd Amendment, but they reluctantly support this case:

Quote:
If you support measures to reduce gun violence, as this page does, it's tempting to hope that the court will rule that states aren't bound by the 2nd Amendment. The problem is that allowing states (and cities) to ignore this part of the Bill of Rights could undermine the requirement that they abide by others. (...) This is no time for the court to start picking and choosing when it comes to the Bill of Rights.
