Second Amendment 13-year run-around case (Nordyke)
The Nordyke Second Amendment case has been bouncing around the Courts for nearly 13 years in a disgraceful fashion. There was no final ruling as the county finally caved in. Thirteen years wasted as the Ninth Circuit danced and weaved to try to avoid a pro-Second Amendment decision at any cost. This is even worse than "Justice delayed is justice denied." Justice was never achieved. How many U.S. and county taxpayer dollars were wasted in this fiasco? Anyone who thinks that the Heller and McDonald decisions have secured respect for this portion of the Bill of Rights, is living in a dream world. Both were 5-4 decisions. Replacing one of the pro-Second Amendment majority members, with an anti-gun Obama justice, could mean the end of the Second Amendment as a meaningful right.
