Talk:United States v. Rybar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Initial cleanup

I've tried to clean up the article a bit and introduce some more factual context. I also removed the POV quote by the Brady Center, a pro-gun control organization. Alito's decision was based on the commerce clause, not on the Second Amendment or any sort of gun control related issues. The Brady quote is not a NPOV statement and not appropriate in such a commerce clause case. Wodan

[edit] Revised narrative description of Alito's decision in Rybar

The previous description of Alito's dissent did not make a lot of sense. I summarized what I take to be the main point made in Alito's dissent. I omitted reference to Rybar building the guns himself, which he did not, and to another Circuit, in a separate case "validating" Alito; the 9th Circuit cannot sensibly "validate" anything the 3rd Circuit does -- besides the Supreme Court did not uphold the 9th in the referenced case.
