Chicago Tribune:
NRA Exaggerating Hillary Clinton’s Threat to Gun Rights
by AWR Hawkins 27 May 2016
On May 26, the Chicago
Tribune published an editorial in which it claimed the NRA is
exaggerating Hillary Clinton’s threat to gun
rights.
Focusing on the Supreme Court, the Tribune
claimed there is no guarantee that Republicans would confirm Clinton’s
appointees to the highest court, and even if they did, there is no guarantee
those justices would revisit landmark decisions like District of Columbia v.
Heller (2008) or McDonald v. Chicago (2010).
In the event that they did revisit the decisions and
overturn them, the Tribune claims that would not necessarily change
state-by-state gun laws in the U.S., so the “NRA’s worst-case scenario is
greatly exaggerated.”
So what if Clinton becomes president and nominates an
anti-Second Amendment justice to replace Antonin Scalia, and what if that
justice is confirmed? According to the Tribune, even then, concern would
be unwarranted because the Republicans will almost certainly retain the House
beyond 2016, thereby mitigating any chance that a gun control law would be passed.
Furthermore, the absence of a new law takes away any real chance that gun
control would be pushed to the Supreme Court for review–at least the Tribune’s
editorial board sees it that way.
