Actually, Art 6 para 2 Supremacy Clause relates to ANY laws made under it's purview. Congress, being nominally "in charge" of DC is restricted explicitly by "shall not be infringed". Has nothing to do with being a State, and everything to do with Congress simply not possessing said power to infringe.

Past due time for their unConstitutional expansions of legislative power to be repealed en banc.

Ok....so here's an argument for you.

The SCOTUS splits in their opinion that the law is unconstitutional based on the 'shall not be infringed' portion, while the opposition bases it's view on the 'security of a free state' portion.

Now, if the pro side(Shall not be infringed) prevails, every law subject to the control of firearms in this country comes into question.

The captured bureaucracy of Washington would come apart at the seams.

If the Anti side(security of a free state) prevails, a whole host of new laws will be passed with even more stringent controls and soon a complete elimination of the basic right.

Now this decision will be determined by Kennedy, most likely, and the justices will not agree on an all or nothing decision either way. By narrowly focusing on the DC law and leaving the rest of the country in the same situation pertaining to GCA34, GCA68, etc, is what will happen. Which is what I am guessing will happen as I said in my earlier post.

Thoughts?

The only way that’s going to happen is when term limits are permitted. I don’t see that coming for a long time.
