So what needs to happen for the next court battle to begin, and what grounds do you all feel that battle needs to cover? Does someone need to be charged with having "an illegal weapon", in a jurisdiction which has a ban on guns with pistol grips or etc, for the next useful case? (No, I don't plan on being the one, just yet anyways. )
Because frankly, I'm just a little confused at how the battle for gun rights in court works around here. Someone gets charged with something, and if the NRA feels it is a foundation case to make a statement, they put their money and lawyers into it? If so, why have they waited until now?
I just think we need to make more progress in federal courts, soon. I mean here we are in 2008, another idiot about to take office, and finally our seemingly first small little battle was fought and won. But we should have won handfuls by now.
