[QUOTE="LightningCrash, post: 1584788, member: 4278"] That was a SCOTUS case, it *is* the law. In law, case law is the set of reported judicial decisions of selected appellate courts and other courts of first instance which make new interpretations of the law and, therefore, can be cited as precedents in a process known as stare decisis. Michael Brown's posts are great in this thread and address the specific posts he responded to. What's most interesting to me is this common attitude that someone in possession of a gun should, by default, be viewed as a criminal. This is an attitude that was expressed earlier in this thread. I disagree with that assertion. I'm used to libs and pacifists having a hangup with guns. Many of them view gun owners as dangerous, scary, mentally unstable. You tell someone who's not a super pro-gun person that you have 11 guns and their eyes light up. "Why do you need that many guns?" Their wheels start spinning. They begin to express apprehension, sometimes fear. It's curious to see elements of that interaction being expressed by groups of gun owners themselves. Near where I live guys park in the driveway of their farm land and walk about 30 minutes down the side of the road to get to the wooded area of their land that they hunt in (there's a deep creek in the way about 1/3 mile between the two and they don't have access from the other side). They're just carrying 22 pistols, and it's perfectly legal. But back to where this started. I don't "feel" that the words "man with gun" alone are RS any more than "man with car" or "man with house" or "man with dark skin". Like I said, though, the phone bank is going to have the ability to add to that. If "man with gun" is instead "man with gun on school campus", holy hell, let's go trooper-punt that guy right in his mountain oysters. But it's just a matter of opinion. GTG disagrees without making personal attacks. A good example to follow. [/QUOTE]
