I have absolutely no use whatsoever for him. No loss at all, in my mind.


You're reading that wrong. George Will has always referred to the 2nd Amendment as being "Unfortunate" and "Embarrassing" to Liberals and Gun Control Advocates. The 2nd Amendment applies to the individual.....much as the other Amendments. There is little Gun Control Advocates can do to ban individual gun owner rights without repealing the 2nd Amendment. As a conservative Will neither advocates nor supports that.

"Gun control advocates who want to square their policy preferences with the Constitution should squarely face the need to deconstitutionalize the subject by repealing the embarrassing amendment." - George Will

Liberals are currently using the above statement as Will's call for 2nd Amendment repeal. It isn't. It's rather defining the only way Liberals can affect their solution of individual gun control. A position that is identical to the majority of people on this forum.
