"It was judges, not legislators, who ruled that sodomy is a constitutional right. Lawrence v. Texas, 123 S. Ct. 2472 (2003)."






What's that got to do with what I'm talking about? In Dale vs. BSA, it was the New Jersey legislature that passed a law giving sexual orientation equal status in N.J. State anti-discrimination law with race, etc.; this was not something imposed by judges.

Good point Ron.

Just as fed/state/local anti-gun laws are made by our 'legislators', not judges.
HR 3893 would give these same out of control politicians the ability to restrict the jurisdiction of fed courts to hear cases on our RKBA'S.

Thanks. And to draw the analogy further regarding gun control (best defined as "keeping both hands on your gun helps you hit what you're aiming at"), it seems taht in both cases what's needed more than new law is effective use of existing law.
