Emsworth, the constitution is a living, breathing document. It is there to be interpreted by everyone. A progressive view of the constitution is not a bad thing. Frankly I like the "new" way of thinking. You shouldn't dismiss someone's opinions just because they're a closet socialist neo-con.
I should point out that the Constitution is not a table rasa for a group of judges to use to inflict their opinions upon us.
If you don't like a provision of the Constitution, amendment is in order. This has been done several times.
My post was sarcasm directed at those who support these ridiculous "assault weapon" bans, CARL. I do not actually believe what you quoted. 
Yeah, I give you credit for being sensible.
Was posting to point out that many on the left want judicial activism to mangle the Constitution as they realize they cannot achieve their objectives via the electoral system.
I believe the assault weapons ban was acheived through the electoral system, Carlheadan.
