There is only one 'leader.'<BR/><BR/>Therefore, Fendry's statment: <I>"Second, automatic and semiautomatic handguns generally remain illegal and may not be registered"</I> flies in the face of Scalia's explicit language about <I>"of the kind in common use at the time."</I><BR/><BR/>The semiauto is most certainly "in common use" at this time. It is more "common" than revolvers for self-defense.<BR/><BR/>Fendry's wrong.<BR/><BR/>By the way, he also refers to ANY semiauto with the capability of taking a magazine with more than 12 rounds as "automatic."<BR/><BR/>So presto-change-o!! 10 rounds, it's a semiauto. 12 rounds, it's an auto.<BR/><BR/>That level of ignorance is astounding.<BR/><BR/>But then maybe Fendry went to your law-school, too.<BR/><BR/>By the way, what does economic-loss theory have to do with Eastwood, revolvers, semiautos, or DC--other than the fact that DC is one vast economic loss to the US as a whole?Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-40895124139793268022008-06-29T13:00:00.000-05:002008-06-29T13:00:00.000-05:00You're right. I misread your statement and gave it...You're right. I misread your statement and gave it more credit that it deserved. In actuality, your statement is now more inaccurate than I had initially thought. <BR/><BR/>Surely you don't believe that "the he last appearance of a revolver was Clint Eastwood's/Dirty Harry's .44Mag." Or, you haven't gotten out to see a movie since 1971.<BR/><BR/>But since you want to discuss my law school: "Obviously," I'm more from the Roggansack and Prosser school of law since I believe that judicially created doctrines should be used to overturn a century of case law to legalize fraud. <BR/><BR/>Check it out, it's called the economic loss doctrine. Then tell me that "conservatives" on the Wisconsin Supreme Court are not judicial activists.Scot1andhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560353521307181651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-84435866317242653392008-06-27T14:20:00.000-05:002008-06-27T14:20:00.000-05:00You claim a law degree and are unable to read plai...You claim a law degree and are unable to read plain text?<BR/><BR/>Obviously, you got your degree from the Justice Stevens/Shirley Abrahamson school of law.<BR/><BR/>The POINT is EXACTLY that the Eastwood weapon is a revolver.<BR/><BR/>Get back to your briefs.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-73190464680906432702008-06-27T13:47:00.000-05:002008-06-27T13:47:00.000-05:00"By far, the most common self-defense weapon is th..."By far, the most common self-defense weapon is the semi-automatic handgun.
