Thinking Outside the Scope

From Bruce W. Krafft via email:

For those of you who have not yet heard, California Cartridge-Microstamp Law Upheld in Gun Group Loss. 

I think the money quote from U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller is "Plaintiffs insist they have the right to determine the precise way in which they would exercise their Second Amendment rights," but that the insistence upon particular handguns falls "outside the scope of the right to bear arms." 

Let's try this on for size: Suppose CA law was changed so that only blacks who had graduated from a whites only university or college could run for office. Then imagine a judge saying Plaintiffs insist they have the right to determine the precise way in which they would exercise their Voting rights," but that the insistence upon being able to vote for people of color falls "outside the scope of the right to vote."
