Another Strike Against Freedom

"Scalia, who read the opinion from the bench, said their decision will have a "minimal" effects on criminal defendants. "Because of the protections created by this court in Miranda and related cases, there is little if any chance that a defendant will be badgered into waiving his right to have counsel present during interrogation," Scalia said."

“I don’t think it’s an issue of gun control advocates versus gun enthusiasts,” the lawmaker added. “I’ve campaigned for public office many times.

Do you think the MSM would understand a little better if someone actually read the Constitution to them?

The only good gun legislation would be the lifting of all the un-Constitutional laws that are already in effect.
