6. political rulings abound

Most all of the gun rulings in these 3 judge court cases are political, guillaume.
Republicans judges tend to rule pro gun, democrats gun control. Men tend to rule pro gun, women tend to rule gun control.

Writing for the court, U.S. Circuit Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg, a Reagan {republican} appointee, said .. limiting residents to registering one pistol every 30 days promotes public safety by reducing the number of guns on the street, “does not justify restricting an individual’s undoubted constitutional right to keep arms in his or her home.”

He continued, “Taken to its logical conclusion, that reasoning would justify a total ban on firearms kept in the home.”

Huh? limiting americans to 12 guns per year means a total ban on firearms, is a LOGICAL CONCLUSION? in what weird world is that?
Note that republican Douglas Ginsburg above should NOT be confused with US supreme court justice democrat Ruth Ginsburg, more of a gun control advocate.

In a dissent, U.S. Circuit Judge {republican} Karen LeCraft Henderson, appointed by George W. Bush, warned that regulating firearms to “combat gun violence is a grave and complex task,” and that she would have upheld all of the D.C. law.

Karen Henderson, republican, is of course a woman, & even then it is surprising to me that she voted for the democrat point of view. But the woman in her overruled the pathetic republican interpretation of gun laws in our country.
So I would say that most of these 'rulings' depend by & large on which way the political breakdown of the court comes down.

There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys, there's just you & me & we just disagree'.
