So Louis, for all your fancy-pants talkin' and whatnot, you've got no example of where the NRA called cops - as in police officers and not the ATF - 'jackbooted thugs'?

It all culminated in the SC's rulings of 2008 and 2010, which constitute a breach with two centuries of thought
I don't think that could be correct in any context.

Also, I find it amusing you describe the NRA as hard-right. In the pro-gun movement many folks consider them to willing to compromise, as opposed to, say, the Gun Owners of America.

This will eventually end up before the US Supreme Court and be overturned.
I'm afraid I find that doubtful.
