Gura: Force of Nature
Some of you may be familiar with Attorney Donald Kilmer. He is the lead attorney in the Nordyke case; lead attorney in other CA 2A cases and co-counsel with Alan Gura in a couple more.
Monday Afternoon, Don started a thread at CalGuns with the same title as this thread. What he says, coming from an excellent attorney in his own right, means a lot. I asked for and received permission to quote his OP. If you wish to read the thread in the original, it is here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=544068 Quote:

Alan Gura will be in the history books. Individuals who value liberty owe him a debt. His arguments related to sports remind me of Michael Jordan cutting to the hoop or even more Gayle Sayers executing a broken field run - a thing of beauty that takes your breath away and makes you shake your head and doubt your eyes. I remember when I heard the news about Heller and then McDonald. Those are days that I will always remember, as I imagine will anyone who has in their small measure fought the fight for all these years.

Well said, mack59 and Tom Servo.
The "Simple Justice" post linked by Mr. Norris, above, is both fascinating and disgusting. Interesting reading for laymen who wonder what happens under the hood in such momentous cases. It ain't pretty!
