...but. It seems to me that this ruling is very convenient for the candidate that does want to disarm us all. He is patient. He is shrewd. He also knows that with all us "gun clingers" busy celebrating our *victory*, that many of us will not turn out to vote for the mediocre candidate the Republicans have put up. He knows that in a face to face confrontation between gun-grabbers and gun-holders, he would be easily backed down.

This seemingly great, but in reality all too narrow....in light of the obvious language of the Constitution... decision, was no smack-down. And what is at stake here? How many SCOTUS judges will the next POTUS put on the court? We have seen that in politics, as in life, there is no victory, that is more than temporary. And often, giving away a hand or two, sets up the big win for later.

With my poker metaphor firmly in hand, I submit that winning this pot simply allows the fresh-faced junior Senator to fold his hand without showing his cards. To flatter us to our faces, knowing that when the time comes, we will have dropped our guard enough that we are less likely to have the cards or the will, when its time to go "all in". He does have a few tells though.

How many of the last few elections hinged on the support of those who believe that the 2nd Amendment, is the right that underpins all the other rights we have?

We've won a pot. That's all. The tournament is still a large question. It is not yet time to celebrate and become distracted. Getting up and voting in November is the final round. I'm the last guy who ever thought he'd be voting for John McCain. However, during the Clinton years, I resolved to be a one issue voter. I'm not changing my mind at this point, even though the temptation to relax is there. I know it seems like all is quiet. When is the next action likely to occur?

Wild Bill Hickcok won a few important showdowns, face to face. He did not however, die during a fair fight. He was shot with his back to the door, while he wasn't paying attention. Too eager to relax with some poker, he failed to find his customary seat in a corner. Are you paying attention? Check your powder.
