A fair amount of bad information from the anti's (go figure), but some rebuttal from Eugene Volokh. Unfortunately they did not have a more spirited pro-2A commenter.

It would be appreciated if you properly attributed the quote On Point Radio.

I'm fairly confident that "Chicago Mayor Richard Daley points to...." will not be taken as a direct quote from Jack House.

For anyone confused by this, let me explain: Jack House did not say that, On Point Radio did.

Edit to add: The vB quoting system is one of the reasons I wish that John and Mike had chosen an open source forum. The vB quoting system is second in suckiness only to mywowbb.
