Hey, maybe the states can decide which dollar denominations they'll accept as 'currency'. Or, maybe they can decide which stupid federal regulations they'll comply with. You know, the pick-and-choose republic the founders must have had in mind when they wrote the Constitution.
When it comes to the 2A, the states treat it like a bastard child in light of the language that comprises it. Amazing.
Liberals, be they justices on the SC or mere senators and governors alike, go balls-on-chin for the State when the issue is individuals with a right vs. empowering government. This hasn't come without costs (though no one will ever be able to accurately tabulate them) and has taken a cultural toll on society that we may never recover from.
The Government is completely out-to-lunch on the issue of armed citizens. The carnage and death wreaked on the public by such tunnel vision is probably higher than had the Government itself gone out and shot innocent people at random- say fifty a day- over the last fifty years. In effect, gangs and thuglies are doing their bidding. How's that for a 'government of the people'?
