Sure, but how to explain the National Firearms Act, the '68 Gun Control Act, the machine gun ban contained in the Firearms Owners Protection Act, the Brady Act, and the Assault Weapons bill?
No they'd never do that. If they did no President would sign such a bill and if he did, the Supreme Court would take the first available case to negate it. Right?
And your point is what? It seems your point is:
1. The Supreme Court has no more respect for the second amendment than Congress and
2. At least when Congress votes for these stupid bills the voters can punish them. Notice how gun control is scarcely mentioned in Congress these days--the dems got burned by the issue and don't push it anymore.
