Kopel's Wall Street Journal column on Plaxico Burress
Kopel argues that NY's law might be unconstitutional. Here's a link:

Let's see, we have Nordyke (CA) before the 9th Circuit. We have 2 cases in Chicago (7th Circuit), and it now looks like NYC (2nd Circuit) will be the next venue for incorporation.
Momentum is building. |

Mr. Kopel, makes some excellent arguments. Let's hope the right people pay attention to such points.
With the various cases comming up, I hope the 2nd Amendment is incorporated. It doesn't make sense to me that Constitutional protections can be violated by state laws, given the supremacy clause. |

Mr. Burress might well be lacking the "poster boy" qualities offered by Dick Heller, however it seems to me, and here I might be dead wrong, that if we can win on this incorporation business, that we might have, in fact, climbed that slippery elm.
