Slate: A State Supreme Court Just Issued Another Devastating Rebuke of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Excellent. Heller was a terrible precedent. Scalia was wrong.

As I’ve mentioned, George Washington came out of retirement after the Shay’s Rebellion, where Daniel Shays tried to get access to military grade weapons. It was that serious. The Founders had no truck with citizens bearing such weaponry. Huntin’ arns, sure. Mortars, no.

All the higher-quality Charleville muskets at the end of the Revolutionary War went into the great armories, not home with the soldiers. They got to go home to their awful Brown Bess flintlocks. If they could hit a barn from 50 yards, they’d be lucky.

Heller was the antithesis of originalism.
