guns & purses (was Re: guns & crime)

It's gotta be eight what? Look, guy, if every Court of Appeals--I didn't list 
them all, but thet all agree, and I just added the 5th Cir. cite in a 
previous post--reads the 2A as interpreted by Miller to mean that there is no 
constitionally protected individual right to bear arms, there isn't any such 
right. The S.Ct may change its mind, but until then, that's the law. If you 
don't believe me, try it in court. --jks

A quick scan of your cite tells me that it's not compelling. 

That's gotta be eight. Thank you, Doug.
