Oh That Right

The Wichita bureau (who seems to have spent the morning listening to the oral arguments) links me to Nina Totenberg on the Supreme Court's Second Amendment case (link). I assume this is one right that this Court will leave secure: it makes me remember Bill Murray in Ghostbusters with his non-field-tested backpack nuke. And of Tuscany, where apparently you can trespass on another man's land only if you are carrying a gun (some kind of hunter thing). I wonder what are the odds that the Roberts Court will make gun possession compulsory? And come to think of it, when they step through the curtains for oral argument, how many of them are packin' heat?

For extra credit, readers are invited to select the appropriate weapon for each of the justices. Dibs on Scalia for the sledgehammer.
