Posted by David Hardy · 7 February 2011 07:51 AM

The Cato Institute sponsored a discussion between Alan Gura, Nelson Lund, Dennis Henigan, and Alan Morrison on the subject. Video is here.

Same here. No sound for me on about the last 25% of the clip.

I watched it but I didn't use the link, I went direct to the C-SPAN web site. I watched it the day after it was broadcast and that's been a little while.

Interestingly, Henigan spent nearly half of his time making policy arguments. Recall myriad policy arguments were presented to the SCOTUS in Heller and McDonald, and they were largely (if not completely) ignored by the majority.

Much of the rest of his time was spent arguing the most excruciatingly narrow scope of the second amendment right that he could (somewhat disingenuously) wring out of the Heller decision).

Henigan:

"There is nothing in Heller to suggest that the right extends beyond the home."

WTF???

"The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast
doubt on longstanding prohibitions on ... laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places"

"Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation."

Mind you, I am not complaining about Henigan's delusional state ... but sheesh!

Reasonable restrictions? really? Can we get the left to please define what they mean is reasonable when they say that word? When used in the context of a pair of cities that did not allow ANY handguns, use at a training range or what not, is that reasonable? I don't think it is.

A new question for the antis:

[Mr. Antigunner], you've said that you're in favor of reasonable regulations. Other than the regulations struck in Heller and McDonald can you tell us what regulations you consider unreasonable?
