Gun Control advocates: "we win, by losing"

Edited on Sat Feb-27-10 07:34 PM by virginia mountainman

No Joke.. I nearly fell out of my chair here when I read that in this NPR article..

Gun control advocates are hoping they can win by losing when the Supreme Court rules on state and local regulation of firearms.

The justices will be deciding whether the right to possess guns guaranteed by the Second Amendment � like much of the rest of the Bill of Rights � applies to states as well as the federal government. It's widely believed they will say it does.

But even if the court strikes down handgun bans in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill., that are at issue in the argument to be heard Tuesday, it could signal that less severe rules or limits on guns are permissible.

Makes my heart glad to see those anti-civil rights groups, and their supporters, crapping their collective pants over this. To the point of saying, even if they loose in court, that they will still win..

1. it's "LOSE" in court, not "LOOSE"

honestly, I'll just leave it at that; not even worth the hassle

4. Probably wise considering which side of the argument you are on.
