I agree with you - but enough people treat it as left-right, that I'm afraid it has become very much a left-right issue. >Was Warren Burger left? > >Is Sandy Levinson right? > >Not. > >I myself came around to the individual rights view more-or-less kicking >and screaming, but I have not adopted any other quaint philosophies >commonly held by people who call themselves conservative, and I see no >advantage to individual rights proponents in attaching that label. There are a lot of individuals examples breaking the left-right stereotype (including Don Kates, whose work in voter registration in the South surely isn't right-wing) but what about the masses that follow the left-right stereotype. I'm thinking of the Million Mothers and all of the Democratic Party Activists I know. Also, the NRA has been demonstrating that this is left-right. I'm afraid that "it shouldn't be" is true - but "it is not" isn't. -- --henry schaffer Ob ConLaw: - I'm too tired to argue how this type of socio-politic dynamic can affect both the interpretation of the law. and the law (in a longer time frame). _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof
