What I am suggesting is that this week, in two monumental rulings, the SCOTUS has showed us that they are no longer bound by, nor do they hold any respect for the United States Constitution. For guns, that matters.

Excellent point, but you're actually short... its was THREE decisions in 24 hours...

13-1371: Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Community Project, Inc.

Basically, SCOTUS said intent no longer matters... for proving housing discrimination (for now, but in a generation, it WILL be applied to criminal law, guaranteed). Instead, they said that the courts may now substitute "unconscious prejudice". So, you may not have known that you wanted to be racist, but your honorable government knows if you actually were or not, and will punish you accordingly.

You're behind the times. Most of the Federal laws, as extended by regulations, that ensure pretty much every American citizen, especially if they are in business, commits three felonies a day, have no mens rea element to their definition.
