Sorry, I guess I should have waited for my coffee. I don’t offer retractions much. But, I think I was wrong to say “fair point” about the guy’s email saying states can ban guns. I think you can make an intellectually serious argument from that perspective, but that perspective really isn’t my own. And normally when I say “fair point” or some such about an email it means I’m more or less endorsing its content. I do think gun ownership is a right recognized by the constitution and extended to the states by the 14th amendment. However, as everyone around here knows, I’m very, very sympathetic to the idea that states should have vastly more power to do what they want on a whole range of public policies.
