someone at the proceedings said that she was a LCAV lawyer that was representing the county. that's why the judge kept questioning her about what group she belonged to...not that he was senile, but perhaps he knew who she was.

Does anybody know the name of the judge who sounds like hes about 300 years old???? He asked the Counties attorney "What YOUR group feel about this?" About a half dozen times before he finally conceded she represented the county?

She's a ringer brought in by the county. She's the former legal director of LCAV.

"In 1996 Ms. Weaver assisted the City of West Hollywood in drafting an innovative local law prohibiting the sale of “junk guns” in that city. She then successfully defended that ordinance in the trial and appellate courts. The published decision, California Rifle & Pistol ***’n v. City of West Hollywood, 66 Cal. App. 4th 1302 (1998) is acknowledged as a landmark decision establishing that California’s local governments retain a wide scope of authority to regulate firearms. More recently, Ms. Weaver successfully defended the County of Alameda’s ordinance prohibiting possession of firearms and ammunition on County-owned property against a series of challenges in federal and state court, including defeating plaintiff’s petition for review in the United States Supreme Court. Nordyke v. King, 319 F.3d 1185 (9th Cir. 2003), cert. denied 543 U.S. 820 (2004). These cases have established Ms. Weaver as a leading authority on the scope of local regulation to regulate firearms in California...

...In 2005, Ms. Weaver was awarded a California Wellness Foundation Peace Prize in recognition of her legal work on firearms-related issues. In 2007, she received a Courageous Leadership Award from Women Against Gun Violence."

Look at the polling section on the LCAV webiste. http://www.lcav.org/resources/Polling.asp

"A 2008 CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll found that 79% of Americans favor requiring guns to be registered"

I have never participated in these polls and have little faith in their data.

[Scarecrow Repair]

Circular reasoning

It seemed to me that the Alameda attorney was saying that because the 2A is not incorporated, therefore banning guns is legal, in fact California could ban all guns period, and therefore there is no need to incorporate, so everyone ought to just go home and fugeddaboutit.

She also kept on about buildings and security, pushing and pushing long past the judge's patience. If that was her best argument, she ran it into the ground and pissed off the judge. I doubt the other judges were impressed by her boring repetitiveness.

Aaahhh the glory of living in a republic instead of a dreadful democracy. it doesn't matter if 99% of the country favors it. If its found to conflict with the constitution its worthless.

sadly we dont uphold the constitution the way we used too.

One only has to look into Dred Scott to see the falsity of that. The Supreme Court decisions regarding pre-war slavery and post-war racism had little to do with constitutionality and everything to do with politics. Those were activist judges for you! The 14th amendment was written specifically to override the ridiculous Dred Scott decision, and the Supreme Court went on to wiggle around that in equally ludicrous ways.

I don't doubt that number at all. You have to weigh in places like new york and san fransisco. Add that to the fact that until you deal with the registration process, and see the negative effects of it, it makes sense to most people. Best way to convert somebody is explain how to buy a gun in CA and what happens if your name coincides with some dirt bag that just got paroled.

Also that gun registration in other places usually leads to confiscation.

Tell me that was more to this than the audio. I don't think this is a home run.

yeah i wouldn't call it a grand slam

[tube_ee]

You may be correct on the poll. My concern is that a nationwide poll that hits Berkely, Frisco and Manhattan is not representative of the nationwide population. When I see these polls the questions that pop up in my mind was how many were polled and who was given access to participate etc..

The 9th is holding Nordyke to await a decision in the Supreme Court.
