So was Scalia pro-guns or anti-guns? Did he believe in the constitution? I guess promoting attacks on 'original meaning' would include those who are anti-constitutional.

Yes that's true if you subscribe to the proposition that the only legitimate way to interpret the constitution is to take an impossible poll of the opinions of the founding fathers and to only use the result as your interpretation.
Would that population of subscribers include you?
Well since you are open to interpreting the constitution, I would be interested to know what your thoughts on the second amendment would be.

Discussion about gun control should be taken to the Gun Control Again thread.
Ahhh gatekeeping at its finest. From what I understand, Scalia was pro-guns and pro-original intent.

Wouldn't it be easier if your brought your comment to the appropriate thread instead of being a whiny titty baby.
You are an officer and a gentleman ("of the system") and I couldn't expect a more fitting response ("pure aggression").
