Opinion: Even as mass shootings multiply, judges are erasing gun laws (via latimesopinion )
“This opinion was drafted with an earnest hope that its author has misunderstood” the Supreme Court’s decision. “If not,” the judge warned frankly, “most of the body of law Congress has developed to protect both public safety and the right to bear arms might well be unconstitutional.”California lawmakers are trying again with a risky bill to restrict who can carry loaded weapons in public after the Supreme Court struck down restrictive concealed-carry laws.
The Supreme Court must take another 2nd Amendment case soon — and abandon or significantly revise its foolish history-based test. Today’s problems of gun violence are vastly different from those of the past. Prior to 1900s, cities were much smaller with much less urban gun crime. We recognize suicide today as a more serious problem than we did in the past. Early Americans didn’t even conceptualize mental illness the way we do, much less bar mentally ill people from possessing weapons.
