I would expect this from an attorney.
Activists on both sides of the steaming debate over guns ought to be able to agree, at the very least, on two things. The first is that the language of the Second Amendment is, grammatically speaking, incomprehensible. The second is that the time has come for clarity from the Supreme Court about whether the "right to bear arms" is an individual or collective one.
Perhaps none of the schools from which Mr. Cohen graduated didn't offer English grammar classes. As seen in one of my previous posts which points to this article, the Second Amendment is anything but incomprehensible. And calling the Second Amendment an "ambiguous, mealy-mouthed compromise", well you would think if anyone should know ambiguous and mealy-mouthed compromise, it would be a lawyer. However, the Federalist Papers and ample other evidence from the Founders show it to be otherwise.
About par from a lawyer on the CBS payroll.
