I think the amusing thing about the Brady reaction to Skoien is that they seem to be most happy that they believe this has taken the jam out of our donut, so to speak. I also notice that Dennis can’t bear to say gun rights without the delegitimizing quotes.
The truth is that we’re going to have setbacks, and looking at things, it would seem the 7th Circuit may fight to the Supreme Court on guns. It’s guaranteed that sister circuits may rule differently. To me the question is how strong the Heller majority is. The 7th circuit may be closed to us, but other circuits are sure to be more obedient, and take the right more seriously. It’s not time for the Brady’s to be giving us the raspberry quite yet.
I’m not sure the Heller/McDonald majority will help on this one – the subject matter is pretty much socio-political poison. I don’t think they’ll be willing to touch it – it’ll probably end up like a lot of other “taboo” issues, and they’ll just deny cert for a decade or so.
I really can’t see why they’re so happy over in leftyland. Doesn’t appear anything was looked at any differently from Heller. In fact this looks like just what the ruling encompassed.

Well, his “organization” *is* becoming desperate. Also, chuckling at “libertarian right.”
