"A Supreme Court Head-Scratcher: Is a Colonial Musket ‘Analogous’ to an AR-15?"

Justice Clarence Thomas’s majority opinion last Thursday expanding gun rights chisels into constitutional law a questionable and judge-empowering form of historical reasoning intelligible only to a very small number of legal elites. 

I also read District of Columbia v Heller, the font of this latest "head-scratcher" and found Justice Scalia's majority opinion absolutely absurd.
