It says here on the tin, "shall not be infringed."

In which our hero learns something, and we hopefully reach a bipartisan agreement ahead of a looming civil war.

What ho, constant readers, I have returned from a jury trial in my hometown, defending a young man accused of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Indeed, when I received my appointment to this case, I had no idea where it would take me and what I would learn along the way.

Like any good citizen of the United States of America, I enjoy my Second Amendment liberties and own and use several firearms for hunting, sport, and protection. I think everyone ought to enjoy this liberty.

“This Court finds that use of a 1911 by a felon cannot constitute a dangerous threat, except for the weapon’s propensity to jam at the slightest provocation…”

And yet, had someone posed the question to me a month ago: “but are not there reasonable limits on what classes of people can exercise this liberty?” I would have heartily agreed, as even the rather libertine opinions of Heller and Bruen reaffirmed this truism, especially with regards to people like those convicted of felony offenses.

And yet, constant readers, I was wrong. And upon being shown the error of my ways, I endeavored to do something about it.
