Newspaper Publishes Gun Owners’ Names and Addresses

[HooptieWagon]

139. Of course, legal gun owners are covered by the 2A.

And don't be so sure a cultural "tipping point" has been reached. To be sure the country has been outraged by Sandy Hook. But, once the shock starts to wear off and gun-control debate begins, the gun-banners will find the public will not support an extreme position. Don't forget what happened to the teabaggers, who had convinced themselves they represented a majority of voters. It only took a few "legitimate rape" comments and mandatory ultrasound bills to turn off most people to the extreme RW.

Its DoJ's own data that indicates most gun homicides are committed by previously convicted felons who aren't allowed to own guns anyway. Legislation targeting them has a reasonable chance of passing. Legislation that targets legal gun owners, the vast majority of whom will never commit a homicide, is not likely to pass.

And talk of repealing the 2A is just fantasy. It would only take 13 states to block that, and theres easily double that number of solid red states that will vote that down. I doubt such a referendum would even pass solid blue states like PA and Mich, who have a fair amount of hunters.
