The looney left hasn't paid much attention to stare decisis anyway except when they've somehow connived to be the stare. The farmer or townsman wielding a smoothbore musket in 1777 had a closer resemblance to the firearms of King George III's forces than today's modern sporting rifles do to the selective fire and other weaponry available to King Obama. This point escapes liberals because they don't want to see it -- quite simply, they are selectively blind. As long as many of them continue to say "I don't like this or that" but continue to vote Democrat, we are indeed one vote away from abrogation of a fundamental right.
