NY Times Washington:

Court Rejects Strict Gun Law as Unconstitutional.  “The decision was the first from a federal appeals court to hold a gun control law unconstitutional on the ground that the Second Amendment protects the rights of individuals, as opposed to the collective rights of state militias.”  Interesting how some choose to trumpet English common law over some decisions, and conveniently ignore them in others.

Isn’t that a hallmark of American culture though - choosing and absorbing things we want and discarding those we don’t? Yes, it’s probably rooted in self-interest…..just a thought….

I find it playing off the ignorance of the masses. I wonder if collective memory was any more retentive in previous eras, whether that enforced more positional consistency.
