SAF's Strange Bedfellow

A United States citizen who now lives in Great Britain has joined with the country’s leading gun owner rights organization in a federal lawsuit that says nonresident citizens are unfairly being targeted by existing laws that restrict gun ownership to those who live in the U.S.

Attorneys William B. Mateja, a principal in the Dallas and Washington, D.C., offices of Fish & Richardson P.C., and Alan Gura of Alexandria, Va.’s Gura & Possessky, PLLC, filed the federal claim today on behalf of London, England, resident Maxwell Hodgkins and the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation.
William B. Mateja...William B. Mateja...

Where have I heard that name before...? Oh, yeah, he's the guy CCRKBA's Gun Week slammed for maintaining--in court, in an attempt to legally destroy Dr. Timothy Emerson's life, that:
"There is no individual right contained within the Second Amendment.…It protects only a collective right to bear arms.”
I guess Alan & Co. haven't learned their lesson about getting in bed with...uh...mercenaries...

Their is no individual right to life for anyone committed to enslaving me or my family. The SAF suit is smoke and small mirrors. How's about the 35 millions in California who are summararily being divested of their 2nd Amendment Rights in degrees and statutes? How about the 9th Circuit Court that is brazenly spitting in the face of the Constitution in full view of citizens? Yeah, we got arterial spray around the whole country, so let's reach for the band-aids. Got a better idea. Rope. Tree. Traitor. Some assembly required.
