[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2170437, member: 5151"] I'm well-versed in the Second Amendment and related case-law, including the Slaughter-House cases that the courts nearly unanimously agree were wrongly decided and merit revisiting. They could have been revisited in [I]McDonald[/I] had the NRA not screwed supporters of the Second Amendment by dropping the P-or-I arguments that had gotten the case to the SCOTUS (without the NRA's help) and instead opting to pursue Due Process. To me, that shows that the NRA would rather look out for themselves rather than the right to keep and bear arms. P-or-I would have largely closed the door by subjecting any firearms laws to strict scrutiny rather than rational basis or intermediate scrutiny. The Due Process route ensured the survival of the NRA and other supposedly pro-2A groups by requiring the SCOTUS to evaluate each specific infringement of the Second Amendment individually and directing lower courts to presume any prohibition prior to [I]McDonald[/I] as being Constitutional post-[I]McDonald[/I].
