First time I've seen a list such as Firearmsregprof mentioned/criticized. I'm afraid Mr. Charles is just another left-wing sore loser who hasn't gotten over Heller and McDonald yet. It's time for some people to get over it, move on and get a real intellectual life.

Henry E.

In science we refer to something like this as "proof by assertion." > http://patrickjcharles.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/legal-scholars-are-best-rese archers-on-second-amendment-not/ > I shall well regulate myself and withhold comment for the nonce.
