You know it. I know it. Everyone else on this thread also knows it.
RP refuses to acknowledge it as his position is more tattered than Betsy Ross's flag.
The thing is, he is right about the current state of the Law. Between legislators ignoring the Constitutions limits, and activist judges twisting things through tainted rulings, we have come to this sorry state.
Where we differ from him is in the Historical antecedents and their impact on the effort to right these wrongs. He sees the history as upholding the current fiction despite all evidence presented to the contrary. To admit he's wrong about the history is to lose the argument over the veracity of his beloved modern legal system.
IOW... he apparently has a vested and personal interest that would be directly threatened should the modern unConstitutionl gun control house of cards come crashing down.
Tough cookies IMO... He should have chosen a different line of work. One that wouldn't aid and abet the criminals and politicians who kill people via "victim disarmament"...
