I'd still like to know how the AG ended up with more power than the President and Congress combined.
The Constitution says, "shall not be infringed". Not, "definitions of infringed may be ignored by government agencies under the guise of prohibitory regulations".

After reading the code in question, it may not be the AG who make the determination. Just the same, I'm with you. How have our lawmakers gotten away with saddling us with all these obviously unconstitutional gun control laws. Seems like incrementalism is the name of the game.

The Constitution says, "shall not be infringed". Not, "definitions of infringed may be ignored by government agencies under the guise of prohibitory regulations".Remember that the current SCOTUS does NOT believe that the Constitution means what is clearly written: How else can they explain McCain/Feingold CFR? The first amendment clearly states "congress shall make no law," yet that's exactly what congress did, and the SCOTUS OK'd it.
I don't know why the US spends any money preserving the original Constitution... The government ignores it... Why would they want a copy of it around that might prove what they've done to it...
