Mukasey and the RKBA: Incremental Improvement

David Codrea notes that AG Mukasey espouses the  “Individual Right”
 view of the Second Amendment:

Per The New York Times:

Michael B. Mukasey was sworn in as attorney general this afternoon, less than a day after winning Senate confirmation despite Democratic criticism that he had failed to take an unequivocal stance against the torture of terror detainees.

Robert Levy had advocated Mukasey disclose his position on the Second Amendment. I’d wondered the same thing, and expressed concerns that he backs Rudy Giuliani for president, and is backed in turn by Chuck Schumer for the top law post.

Codrea:

Note I’m not focusing on the waterboarding charges here or making any proclamations about the desirability of this appointment or Judge Mukasey’s potential as AG. I’m merely pointing out his reported position on the Second Amendment, something I have been looking for but have not previously found.

Excluding all other considerations, and with the caveat that this is based only on the rhetoric, it would appear gun owners could have done worse.

I’d like to shoot for better than “Could have done worse”, but given Chuckles’ Schumer’s place in things, it…well, could have.
