-Social Science data? very interesting, this part could backfire on Gansler. How many years has the current scheme been in place? Do we still have violent crime, including specifically gun crime?
A win is a win is a win, as they say, but what kind of win is more lasting? Our argument has hinged on nothing but historical context and good jurisprudence, not a social science data that (unless you subscribe to the lesser biased John R. Lott) that has been manipulated, and then prayed to like the temple of Allah. (Seriously, do you trust the CDC's numbers that Gansler will point to as "non-biased, non-rigged, government statistics that is read lies, damned lies, and more bold faced damned lies"?).
Sorry for the ranty run on sentence. Using social science data and equating it to an enumerated civil right is a set up for failure. No one would dare equate social science data to the 1st amendment, and I hope that is the arguement that Legg hears and Gura makes.
