- Well, this sure as hell isn't what I read in the case law, in law class.
- In addition, it absolutely contradicts what my lawyer friends tell me.
- I thank you for the citations, but strongly suspect that you are
- unintentionally misrepresenting the holdings in them. I've seen enough
- of the NRA party line to recognise its sound, even second-hand. Let me
- see if my lawyer friends have time and patience enough to look up those
- references and check.
