“Reminder to Liberals: The USA Is Not a Democracy...”

Lot of good that theory does us when it comes to voting on semi-auto and magazine bans among other things.

Well, you touch on an important point, namely, what situations are matters of constitutional rights, which are not subject to legislation, vs. what situations are to be decided by the legislative process.

I’m not saying I agree with the liberals , but I have heard many say, that “gun control”, such as licensing, or restricting certain types of weapons, do not violate the 2nd amendment.

Ultimately, it then becomes up to the courts to decide whether we are allowed to legislate on a subject or not, when disputes come up as to the meaning of the 2nd amendment, or any other laws or constitutional provision.
