It doesn't matter. The Supreme Court ruled on this three years ago. The great gun wedge issue is over. The gun lobby won. The NRA has empty nest syndrome. They don't know what to do with themselves since they won. They don't want to lose their donations, so they are trying to boogyman you. And you are falling for it.

Until the court changes, and heads off on a new slant. It was once unthinkable that your property could be taken under eminent domain to build a shopping center. And it maybe in the future, but for now it's the law.

Vigilance and educating the complacent as to what can happen, is the mission of the NRA. Gun advocates turn to the NRA because theres nobody else devoted to that issue, just as the elderly flock to the AARP... even though that's become an insurance company.
