the author wrote, "The filed complaintthe numbered paragraphs give it an oddly religious feeling, like theses nailed to a church door . . "
I'm a trial attorney, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. All legal complaints have numbered paragraphs. The organization and form of complaints normally engender a yawn by the general public, not a near religious experience akin to the beginnings of the Reformation. I wonder if the author felt similarly moved and pious when he read the lawsuits challenging the PPACA or its birth control mandate. The remainder of much of the article and the complaint itself is further filled with matters of faith rather than inconvenient facts, broader legal analysis and hardcore democratic political realities.
The article is little more than a sermon to other gun control true believers with the NRA cast as the tempting devil, and is hardly a jumping-off point for a good-faith discussion of gun control and rights.
