400. Sorry, charlie.....Every court case says no individual right
when they ruled on the Second Amendment.

Since the Fifth Circuit (the most right wing court in the country) said that the Second Amendment didn't apply in the Emerson case, their maunderings about what it does or doesn't say mean precisely nothing.

But it does show why the Republicans and the gun lobby want to pack the courts with crooked right wing loonies.

P.S.: After all that hoohah, the Fifth Circuit STILL took away Emerson's gun. Emerson was a nutcase in Texas who tried to shoot his wife with a gun he was not allowed to have under Texas law. Some swell poster boy you gun enthusiasts have.
