A petition for Writ of Certiori on Silveira vs Lockyer has been submitted to the US Supreme Court. They'll decide whether or not to take up the case this fall. If they do, and they rule in favor of Silveira, it will be a death knell for the "collective right" interpretation of the Second Amendment, and the end of much of the gun control legislation.

Appropriately, it occurred the day before Independence Day.

As Clayton Cramer points out, one shouldn't be too/very confident that the supremes will do the right thing WRT the Second Amendment. See http://www.claytoncramer.com/weblog/2003_06_29_archive.html#105700985322538411 .

I thought "Gun" in "Gun Grabber" referred to a part of the anatomy.

And for some really chilling foretastes of the total surveillance planned for Americans, see the recent news items added to the "DECEIVING AMERICA" page at http://www.survivalistskills.com/kgb.htm. We're now paying to KGB officers to improve surveillance of the average American citizen!
