Two days have passed since the Supreme Courts decision which upheld the Second Amendment as an individual right ... and the new continues. I'll address some of the already-filed lawsuits in other posts. For now, let's take a look at how the decision changes things for Republicans and Democrats this fall.
Those on the anti-gun side seem to think that the validation of an individual right takes away any political hay that our side might try to make. However, it's already clear that the National Rifle Association (NRA) and other gun rights groups think otherwise.
The NRA has not stopped talking about the decision, and it appears they plan to continue on this track. The belief is that by highlighting the case, gun owners will become motivated to help eliminate other bans in existence around the country. The idea is that this would further clarify the positions of the anti-gun politicians around the country (mostly democrats ... but certainly not all).
There's a good piece posted at TheHill.com that takes a look the GOP's plan to keep gun rights front and center. Check it out:
