Libertarianize the GOP said: "Does the fact the city is paying the freight give them a right to make the rules? "

Would it be alright for the city to dictate how he votes? What church he attends? Which books or newspapers he reads? Liberals are going to have their hands full trying to imagine the limits of the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. Once there is a clear mandate that it is a RIGHT, many other things start to fall into place.

Judges would probably say "No" to your questions, but I'm not so sure. If you want to sponge off of the government and live in public housing, perhaps you do give up your basic rights. If you want to live like a free citizen, don't ask me, as a taxpayer, to provide a home for you and pay the rent. The public housing resident is like a kid living in his parents' house. Can parents dictate what church a kid attends or whether he can read "Playboy" in their home? Darned right, they can.

I oppose gun control, and I oppose Gavin Newsom, but I'm not so sure that the NRA deserves to win this one.
