re: #100 EPR-radar

But Clarence Thomas is already agitating for strict scrutiny to be applied in second amendment cases. So far, the other justices on the court aren’t agreeing with this madness.

If that change in interpretation ever comes to pass, nothing resembling gun control in the US will survive, including the federal laws that presently have machine guns under tight control. The only kind of gun control that would be possible under Heller + strict scrutiny would be tiny things like taking away someone’s guns after they are convicted of a felony.

Too many ifs in a row to be reasonably argued. Clarence Thomas also points out congress can regulate the allowable arms as they wish. What felony justifies a gun ban is as legitimate a discussion as about the vote, another protected right. Violent felony? No guns. Smoked pot when that was a felony? What then?
