I wonder if the Indian reservations will get around this as they did with tobacco sales and gambling laws. They could start gun stores on each reservation and sell to the public, obeying ONLY Federal Laws.

Somehow “Injuns sell’n guns to white men” just doesn’t have the old “ring” to it. Used to be the opposite.

For what it’s worth I’m going to agree one hundred percent with your last three posts 13,14, and 20 on this thread. I do not agree with what some believe, that we have three co-equal branches of Government. In my opinion the Congress rules over the Branch that interprets Congressional law, and thus has oversight of their actions.

If this seems ironic, look at it this way, who you going to trust, four hundred thirty five elected Representatives, or nine appointed members of SCOTUS? Consider also just who approved their appointment. Thus it would be good of the Congress to get back to work, and help the SCOTUS do it’s job of interpretation where necessary.

On further examination it would appear my comment who you going to trust, might also be chocked full of irony. So be it. Lot of House members I would not trust, but seemingly have to in most circumstances including my lone Congressional Representative. We are a Representative Republic after all.

“Thus it would be good of the Congress to get back to work, and help the SCOTUS do its job of interpretation where necessary.”

Yes and there would be a whole lot less “interpretation” needed if we had no lawyers in the Congress and those there really spoke and understood plain English.
It’s sad, we used to call a poor quality lawyer “your honor,” but now, in addition, we call him or her “Senator” or Congressman.”

Amen. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I heard for the fist time the joke part of your statement. It was slightly different. What do you call the person who is last in his law school graduating class? Your Honor.

But then the question, how do you limit their participation in the Congress of the US. That might be a bridge too far Constitutionally. Now, I might feel the same way about former FBI agents, or more to the point Democrats.

FWIW, I understand that in the UK, lawyers are precluded, by law, from serving in The House of Commons.

Well, the Lord didn’t much like lawyers either, that should be enough for any of us.
