Second Amendment News Roundup for 2/18/08

Focusing on guns and politics, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Eugene Volokh has the good news and the bad news on the Second Amendment. The good news is that a Chicago scholar on Constitutional law is supporting the 'individual rights' point of view. The bad news is Barack Obama's true feelings about that very issue:

John Lott has posted links to some very interesting discussions on eliminating gun free zones on college campuses:

Lott also posted a helpful map of the various laws on carry among the various states in the U.S.:

Born Again Redneck says that Michael Reagan, son of the former President, maintains that his father would support McCain. That is without doubt. Reagan was a major leader and candidate within the Party:

Ronald Reagan likely would support John McCain once McCain became the GOP nominee.

Unfortunately, McCain is a far cry from Reagan when it comes to believing in getting the government off our backs.

There are a lot of us out here who are working to bring Reagan's philosophy back into the GOP, and show that the Reagan Coalition is not dead.

I agree with you 100% about Reagan and the Reagan coalition.

The original context of the remarks about McCain had to do with the fact that most of us had supported Fred Thompson. When that didn't work out, we all have been speculating about what to do.

Some cannot and will never vote for MCCain. One blogger believes, however, that McCain is deserving of our vote if he gets the nomination, and he stated that Reagan would do the same thing, not that McCain would be his first or second choice.

Double Tapper,

Glad you enjoy the Roundup. And I'm with you, it makes things more convenient on top of the fact that it is a valuable service to the gun rights community.
