Reader Mike A. asks:

You have had articles from time to time where people moved in next to a gun range, and then tried to force the range out. How long before those towns figure out that they can just take the gun ranges after this new supreme court ruling "for the good of the community"?

This is certainly a possibility. But doing so would require the cooperation of government officials. And those officials already have other ways of forcing gun ranges to close, such as imposing environmental regulations and noice ordinances. This is but another weapon in their anti-gun arsenal.

Then again, if the NRA (a/k/a the "gun lobby") is as effective as the gun grabbers would have us believe, wouldn't pro-gun legislators seize people's homes to build a gun range.

On another note, given the insanity of the property rights decision, it almost makes me wonder if we didn't luck out when the SCOTUS refused to hear any of the Second Amendment cases. They could have given us a 10 page essay on how the Constitution contained a typo and the Second Amendment really reads "shall be infringed".
