Supporting quotes
- Leigh Ferrara. "Interview: The Way of the Gun". Mother Jones. April 19, 2007 - "Even the NRA concedes that you can’t have mad men running around with weapons of mass destruction. So there are some restrictions that are permissible and it will be the task of the legislature and the courts to ferret all of that out and draw the lines. I am sure, though, that outright bans on handguns like they have in D.C. won’t be permitted. That is not a reasonable restriction under anybody’s characterization. It is not a restriction, it’s a prohibition."
- Chief Justice John Roberts - "What is reasonable about a total ban on possession?".[1]
