re: #170 KGxvi
The entire point of the courts is to second-guess everything the legislature does. Without the amendment the analysis might change, but if you still have a hundred other issues that the courts will have to hash out.
Assuming the second amendment didn’t exist, are you saying that gun control legislation would still be subject to constitutional scrutiny for due process, unenumerated rights etc.? If so, that still seems like a big improvement relative to a situation where the only thing that really matters is what an activist court decides the intractably ambiguous second amendment means this week.
