sano: SCOTUS considers firearms possession by violent individuals. Astounding that they are even considering restoring the right of people who are mentally unstable to possess firearms.

Astounding, why, exactly?

Last year justice Clarence Thomas wrote an opinion for a 6-3 majority designed to end many of the nation's gun laws enacted since the 1960s.

Thomas said the government may not deny an individual's right to bear arms unless it can "affirmatively prove" the restriction is "consistent with this nation's historical tradition."

That pretty much puts every gun restriction on the chopping block.

Never mind that women and Blacks were not able to legislate, let alone vote, when this country was founded.
