33. performing the ostrich trick

donP: And of course when you do get a response that hits a little too close to home, you run to ATA to whine to Skinner about how your being picked on.

As opposed to you when confronted with your own misconceptions & lies, playing ostrich & sticking head in the sand.

donP wrote: notoriously confusing text of the Second Amendment" Really? Hmmm, Doesn't seem to confuse law professors and constitutional scholars all that much. Dershowits, Tribe and others get it.

{I wrote} Another gun zealot who doesn't know what he's talking about.

wiki: {Alan} Dershowitz is a strong supporter of gun control. He has criticized the Second Amendment, saying that it has "no place in modern society". Dershowitz supports repealing the amendment, but he vigorously opposes using the judicial system to read it out of the Constitution because it would open the way for further revisions to the Bill of Rights and Constitution by the courts.

As per Lawrence Tribe, DonP footsticks another big one: Tribe, Dec2012: I certainly believe that restricting the kinds of high-powered weapons and ammunition that made possible the horrific slaughters of innocent children and others in recent days and months is well within the power of government even as the Supreme Court has misguidedly interpreted the Second Amendment in Heller and McDonald,
... the only "individualistic right to keep and bear arms" (that is, the only right to keep and bear arms independent of the organized militia) is a limited right of self-defense that people may exercise vis-à-vis state and local "efforts at disarming people,"
.... It badly distorts the meaning of everything I have written on the subject to treat me as remotely hostile to the comprehensive national regulation of firearms and ammunition possession, transfer, and use;
... The fact that many of my fellow gun control proponents were disappointed by the nuanced character of what I wrote in 2000 shouldn't be allowed to distract from my continuing conclusion that the Constitution permits, and that sane public policy demands, vastly stricter firearms regulation than exists in the United States today."
