Any article like this needs to mention that the Supreme Court takeover was engineered by the Koch organization, who founded and managed the Federalist Society--the source of all the conservative justices on the Court.

For the Kochs, guns and abortion are manufactured issues--promoted by them and Murdoch as grievance issues to support of their real goal, which is complete control of government by business. No regulation, no social services of any kind, and no taxes for rich people or businesses. We won't see that agenda until after the mid-term elections, but it won't be long in coming.

When the Kochs support guns the only guns they really care about are the guns for the equivalent of the Pinkertons--the private militias for businesses of the nineteenth century. As with the fascists mentioned here, once they're in power, they won't be shy about keeping it.
