Recreational shooting would be severely curtailed or destroyed entirely.Cut back practice and training--there's a surefire happy ending solution! Why wouldn't we want people less trained, less able to hit what they aim at?
I have been summoned for jury duty in King County Superior Court. Initially, I was thrilled to have an opportunity to do my duty. Moments later it occurred to me that the court would most likely want me to convict someone of violating unconstitutional laws, like laws criminalizing drugs, sex, guns, etc. [More]Mark A. Taff thinks through a process most of us will face.
