Yes it was a typo with my phone.
I don't know what Kopel's politics is, but it is irrelevant since the facts and reason he used stands on its own. Does the argument stand on its own merit or not, is the only difference. No anti gun arguments be it from a right or left winger does. All of them are built entirely on logical fallacies, fake statistics, and complete lies.
amicus brief by justice dept in 1938 to the 1939 supreme court re miller: In the only other case in which the provisions of the National Firearms Act have been assailed as being in violation of {2ndA}, the contention was summarily rejected as follows:.. The second amendment to the Constitution .. {2ndA} refers to the militia, a protective force of government; to the collective body and not individual rights
which the court rejected and is accepted only by those who never bothered to research it. All of the BoR are restrictions on the State, a set of negative rights. That fact makes him less than a good judge.
Huh, what kinda argument is this above? Using this criteria isn't heller wrong since clarence thomas is (inarguably) one of the worst supreme court justices of the 20th & 21 centuries? Change heller, 4 - 4 tie.
Some progressives make that claim about Thomas (there is a difference between a liberal like myself and progressive like Cenk Uyger, who is a racist, Christophobe, and Armenian Genocide denier). Yes, racism does exist on the fringes of the left just like the right.
Even Think Progress says he wasn't that great. Maybe he didn't like the idea of Jews arming themselves against the KKK or something.
