In a sleazy political stroke, Republicans played the gun lobby's card...
Only a cowardly, anonymous traitor, that is, a Herald Tribune editor, would call an article enshrined in the bill of Rights a "poison pill" and "an insult." Only a tyrant enabler would characterize "attempts to outlaw firearms" as "legitimate," and attempts to prevent it "sleazy."
There can be no peace with these wormtongues. They won't allow it.

Unless we're afraid of a Supreme Court ruling (and perhaps we should be, but that's another discussion), isn't it a bad idea to try to strike down DC's gun ban through any means other than Parker v. DC? It seems pretty clear that SCOTUS will duck the issue if they see a plausible way to do so, and the nullification of the unconstitutional law would seem to give them their graceful way out.
I suppose that there is a good chance that the Republican strategy in attaching the amendment was not really to strike down the ban, but to nudge the Democrats into withdrawing the bill for Congressional representation for DC.
I agree, 45superman--what I was highlighting was the seething hatred for individuality and RKBA dripping from the lying commie apparatchik who wrote this column.

And you highlighted it well. Is the International Herald Tribune a U.S. publication, or does it come from some place where that sort of tripe is more or less expected?
Snidely Whiplash was an angel in comparison to the reptiles in the subversive media.
45superman--From their website:
AN INTERNATIONAL SPIRIT SINCE 1887
Entrepreneur James Gordon Bennett Jr. founded the New York Herald’s European edition in 1887. Cosmopolitan and innovative, Bennett was the embodiment of an international spirit that thrived through changes of ownership and name until the newspaper became the International Herald Tribune in 1967.
Today, the International Herald Tribune is the international voice of The New York Times and continues to expand the reach of its authoritative journalism through the newspaper, which is available in 180 countries, and read by millions on the Web and mobile devices.
Ahh--thanks. Guess I would have found that myself, if I'd been a bit less lazy. So that's "cosmopolitan and innovative," eh?
Well anyway, good to see that it's an offshoot of the New York Times, and not an American publication.
