The common elements are a) reading Heller and McDonald as narrowly as possible so as to completely ignore the word "bear" in the 2nd Amendment and b) denial of any legal responsibility for their actions and c) unwillingness to moot the issue by granting the plaintiffs request (which would have the effect of making the suit go away and then they could still not issue permits to other citizens). Gura on the other hand is showing a trend too. He finds a plaintiff, files suit along with SAF and other institutional plaintiffs, then adds plaintiffs as he goes to strengthen his case. No defendant to date has just rolled over on the requests for summary judgment, and the strategy of all defendants is delay, delay, delay. For a bit of history, Brown v. Board of Education came out in 1954 - and in 1963 Wallace was still standing in the door of the auditorium and U of Alabama. Persistence is required yet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094672585718558992noreply@blogger.com
