Letter to Cruz
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 9:15 am
This letter was sent to Ted Cruz by David Kopel, a leading constitutional lawyer and one of the principals on the Volokh Conspiracy, a widely-read constitutional law blog. He makes a very good case for, among other things, keeping the NICS checks at the level they are now.
"The third Heller exception is “laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.” The word “commercial” does not appear because the Supreme Court was trying to use extra ink. Once again, the exception proves the rule. The Second Amendment allows “conditions and qualifications” on the commercial sale of arms. The Second Amendment does not allow Congress to impose “conditions and qualifications” on non-commercial transactions."
