I accept that definition, Mick...

As Bill pointed out with the 18th and 21st ammendments, times change and so do laws and interpretations of laws change...

And I whole-heartedly agree that it is time to get beyond this issue but the Repubs force it on us every election cycle... I agree with Eugene Robinson in his abservation that the Republican dominated Supreme Court was just lookin' for a fight so they could make their big statement... I see yesterday's decision as politically motivated but that's the way things are these days...

The next round will be more interesting as D.C. will most certainly deal with "gun control" rateher that banning... Banning as always been a "red meat" issue for the Repubs and, yeah, I am gald that the Obama and the Dems are smart enough to not advocate it because it does allow for reasonable gun control discussion...

Face it, everyone believes in gun control at some level... That's why we don't put loaded guns in baby cribs... Yes, that is the extreme but it does illisstrae that we do universally accept some control... The next stage in D.C. will be about just how much control...

I'd be willing to bet that within 5 years D.C. will have enacted some other control measures that will also find their way to the S.Court...
