Re: to you know where in a handbasket thnx SCOTUS
I was going to pass on this one, but I did think of one thing that bothers me about this ruling, not tied to any sort of moral stance on the subject. The thing that bothers me is that the SCOTUS ruled on something that isn't in the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights basically says that anything not called out specifically, is left up to the States or People, respectively. So, IMHO, this is the SCOTUS extending the reach of the Constitution into another area where it wasn't written to go, and thus extending Federal government reach somewhere it wasn't intended to go. I don't agree with him on everything, but I do agree with Rand Paul on this particular item about being just another case of overreach. And we've seen before that the Feds like to overreach on firearms every time they can; I don't like them having any more items to stand on if its not in the Constitution.
