Nice bunch of pop culture sources you got there.

How about some from an actual published and qualified legal source; Lawrence Tribe? Alan Dershowitz?

A retired judge's Op Ed and an ACLU opinion have about as much legal weight as any five random people on the #151 bus.

But, as they say, opinions are like body parts, everybody has one and Heller and McDonald are the Law of the Land and the likelihood of SCOTUS taking a case to overturn their previous opinion is slim to none for 40+ years or so.
