"Then the legislature is corrupt and wrong, not the judge."

If the citizens of the State of Minnesota, through their constitutionally elected state legislature, wish to define "firearms" this way, are you saying they cannot?

Not a big believer in federalism, are you?

He didn't say they didn't have jurisdiction to regulate it, but that they should do so using words according to their dictionary definitions. Remember, Big Brother redefined common words too.

The definition is over broad. That's got nothing to do with Federalism, by any definition.
