13. Reinterpretation of the 2nd. Then let the new 2nd forever decide it.

Mon Apr 22, 2013, 10:49 AM

Apr 2013

Nothing else will stop anything.

and the NRA ultimate desire is to get all 50 states the same so they can get rid of
NYs and Calif. laws.
Which would be the same as they would like to do about abortions.

We need a complete and total reinterpretation

All it takes is ONE change for the better in the court, and the right case.

And yes, let me say I have emailed The Great Equalizer and told him to concentrate on the republicans this time, and get the others out
and then later get the bad dems out

And yes, I want all the $$$$$$ it takes to defeat the NRA. Money is a good thing if it is used to defeat money that is bad.
