Gun Control Eugene Volokh has been getting some pretty good national press lately as he argues for and explains the current Justice Department, White House, and Constitutional position that the Second Amendment ensures an individual right to keep and bear arms. Swen Swenson takes him to task though for his comments that a clear ruling by the Supreme Court on the legitimacy of that individual right will lead to an atmosphere facilitating increased gun controls. I agree with Swen who says, "I would argue that at the point that an individual right to bear arms is indeed firmly acknowledged, further gun controls such as firearms registration will become moot, as there is no legitimate purpose that further firearm regulation would fulfill." One thing that bothered me about the comments was that Eugene Volokh seems to suggest that gun registration is a moderate form of gun control. I guess that's true in the same sense that third trimester abortions are a moderate form of birth control. Long and short though is that there seems to be a lot of discussion lately regarding gun control, and the country's leaders seem to finally be alligning themselves with the populace. And that is good. |
