IF we win on carry, I think the next big front will be enforcement of the Heller "in common use" standard. I think the one-feature test clearly overstepped by banning the pistol grip and thus anything remotely resembling the most popular rifle platform in the US. Same with the concept of an...
Bingo. That's the only way to explain legislation like evil feature based bans or the CA "approved guns" list. No rational person can defend such laws on their own merits. They're simply there to lay the infrastructure for more sweeping legislation.
