"Right to guns only in the home is an 'odd reading of the right' "
http://www.examiner.com/la-in-los-angeles/right-to-guns-only-the-home-is-an-odd-reading-of-the-right-part-1

"Once again, the attorney for the County of Alameda rehashed that discredited claim before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (Nordyke v King) that our individual Second Amendment Right applies only to the home according to her interpretation of the US Supreme Court Heller decision.

The City of Washington D.C., made that same argument in the Heller case to which the High Court replied "This odd reading of the right is, to be sure, not the one we adopt..."

The City had cited the Tennessee Supreme Court’s 1840 decision in Aymette v. State. Since at least one of the Appellate Court Justices appears to hold this opinion, and it is the position of the Brady Bunch in their Amicus brief in the Peruta v San Diego Federal CCW case, it is time to once again refer to what the US Supreme Court actually said in the Heller decision."



Excellent three-part analysis at the link.

2. Yeah, I've had to point that out on several sites.
Here, D-Kos and Huff'n'Puff mostly.

You'd think they learn to read....

4. The controllers pull that stunt because they know they

know that their lock-step base is generally too uninformed to notice, or too dishonest to object on the rare occasions when they do. The end justifies the means, don'tcha know.
