Gun rights advocates need to recognize that there is a tension between using the courts to expand gun rights and keeping the courts out of mischief.

If the courts apply the 2nd Amendment to the States by way of incorporation, how can it be argued that they should not do the same thing with the 8th Amendment prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment?

Be careful what you wish for.
