Name The Tyrant

Who said:

The Second Amendment right is not unlimited. We do not cast doubt on concealed-weapons prohibitions, laws barring possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, laws barring firearms in sensitive places like schools and government buildings, and laws imposing conditions on commercial sale of arms. Also, the sorts of weapons protected are the sorts of small arms that were lawfully possessed at home at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification, not those most useful in military service today, so “M-16 rifles and the like” may be banned.

Was it one of those mentally ill individuals who point guns in public?

You are correct, sir. It is Scalia's majority opinion of the District of Columbia vs. Heller.

Emphasis added.

That viewpoint did cross my mind: the second amendment guarantees you the right to own single-shot, muzzle loading muskets. Semi-automatic rifles? No way.

How odd that bcspace and droopy aren't exposing this particular tyrant.

Bumping this up so our reliable, consistent conservatives have a chance to rebuke this tyrant.
