Delay of Game Redux

I've had several people comment to me on the Supreme Court delay on Highland Park that with the current composition of the court, it's better to wait several years until we have more favorable odds.

First off, a right delayed is a right denied. People are at risk now. What else are you willing to so cavalierly "temporarily" surrender while gun owners in occupied territories are risking everything with brave noncompliance?

Second, what makes you think the amnesty sellout by pathway to citizenship Democrats and cheap labor Republicans is going to result in the court you envision, as opposed to one that goes the other way?

People who are venturing such wishful thinking: How about offering something beyond opinions, anecdotes and platitudes that can refute all credible data -- not to mention the California experience -- about where manipulative immigration politics will lead?

People have been saying this "we're not ready" crap for over 20 years. So what happens when they kick the can down the road 10 years and outcomes are still too uncertain for them?

I've been waiting 35 years for restrictive gun laws to "ease up". Instead of easing up - we got SLAMMED with the NY safe act! Waiting for courts - supreme or not - to repeal unconstitutional gun laws can leave you waiting a lifetime!
