Subdeacon Joe Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Please, respond to the drivel here: http://www.pressdemocrat.com/opinion/4590710-181/sunstein-how-the-gun-lobby?TSM No one should take away people’s rights. But with respect to “the right to arm ourselves,” we have lost sight of our own history. A quick quiz: In what century did the U.S. Supreme Court first rule that people have an individual right to own guns? The answer is the 21st century. It was not until 2008 — the year Barack Obama was elected president — that the court initially ruled that the Constitution imposes serious barriers to gun control. And it did so only by a narrow 5-4 margin. That by CASS SUNSTEIN, DIRECTOR OF THE HARVARD LAW SCHOOL’S PROGRAM ON BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS AND PUBLIC POLICY. Link to comment
