So it's OK for California and other States to continue ignoring our basic Human Rights? Not just to self defense, but this is also a Property case.

Think about how much legislation WILL get passed between now and when "just the right court" is seated. By then, there may literally be nothing left to defend!

"Wait till next year" may be the worse of the arguments/excuses presented here..
Anti-constitutional 'states rights' kooks are always with us, and affect politics very little.

But the vast numbers of right wing conservatives who believe that we can wait for the perfect court & the perfect congress to do the 'right thing', are truely among liberties biggest enemies.

I don't like it any more than you do. But when a 2nd Amendment case on whether or not individuals have a right to own guns goes to the Nine, it has to be the right case and go in front of the right justices. O'Connor is the swing vote and if you think she's pro gun, you need a strong pot of coffee.

You need to pick your fights carefully. Otherwise we end up with another civil war a half a million dead people.
