You wouldn't have to - give someone the ability to input their name, birth date, address, SSN, or driver's license number, and have NICS generate a transaction number which is associated with approval/dissapproval. You could then given the transaction number to the seller, who could use it to...
Ending the 2A two-step of rational basis review masquerading as intermediate scrutiny would be a major coup, and would provide a great springboard for future cases.
Especially if she gets one or two justices on the bench, I'm sure the Brady Bunch, et al. would love to try.
Even if a Clinton presidency didn't result in overturning Heller, it'd still likely have a chilling effect on Second Amendment litigation. In the 1990s, nobody challenged the Assault...
Possibly, but there will be great resistance among even conservative jurists to distorting the meaning of the full faith and credit clause in such a fashion. It's been noted that there are edge cases where a marriage which is permitted in one state is legally prohibited in another - those laws...
Pretty much. I have no problem with the idea that everyone is equal in the eyes of God and the law - it seems a prerequisite for a just society. But it's also incontrovertibly true that people aren't equally good at everything. We're not interchangeable widgets, and that's okay.
Poor, urban...
Yeah, that was pretty painful to listen to. And it didn't really seem that D.C.'s attorney was being very forthright in her answers. A couple times, as I remember, she was asked the same question again and continued to equivocate.
Fingers crossed.
I sent an email, for what it's worth.
Interestingly, "projectile core" isn't defined anywhere in the relevant section of the U.S. Code (Title 18, Ch. 44 § 921(a) 17). ATF could plausibly argue that the steel insert by itself constituted a projectile core, but it seems that someone could just...
Based on the historical and contextual interpretation of the Second Amendment's scope outlined in Heller, one would expect that artillery pieces are necessarily protected arms. Given that artillery pieces are not bearable arms, and Scalia's comment about the carrying of dangerous and unusual...
People were upset because it looked more like they were training to shoot armed Americans without hesitation. All three targets are in locations that could very well be their own homes, especially the pregnant woman. Obama calling for DHS to be, in essence, a domestic army probably didn't set...
Being Semitically-challenged, I can't speak authoritatively, but I think this is because progressivism is the dominant ideology in the West today. There's a lot of pressure on people to accept the left's framing of policy issues ranging from welfare to gay marriage. For people who've grown up...
Common law felonies would be the most reasonable standard, but a functional rights restoration process is, I think, important. The expansion of exclusionary offenses beyond "Mr. and Mrs. Lamb," especially down to misdemeanors that have nothing to do with someone's propensity to commit crime...
But think of the chilluns!
(As others have suggested, I'd go with an out-of-state purchase, rather than unblocking mags purchased in MD. Seems like less effort, given that you'd have to drive over the border in either case.)
That's quite a cogent analysis, and the second point is especially applicable in places like Baltimore City, where a collapsing property tax base drives them to seek revenue elsewhere.
