By far I am not ignoring the constitution. Nor am I foolish enough to believe that the other laws mean nothing.
All the laws have to be obeyed, not just the ones you think are the most important ones.

See this is the part you are not getting.

These laws are made by legislature - the constitution allows for that. The law that says the right of the people to keep and ear arms shall not be infringed is not all inclusive.
It was left up to the state how that law would be applied.

Your being selective and blaming the police for your inability to see what you do not want to see.

No where in the constitution does it say these are the only laws of the land. It was meant to be built upon by a consensus of the people. each state having the right to amend these laws to suit it’s populace.

Now weather I agree with it or not, that is how it is. And all your complaining won’t change that. What will change that is your legislature if they have enough pressure to take away all the regulations on guns.
Arizona seems to be doing a good job at this point.

But it is not the responsibility, purview or up to the enforcement officers “ideas” of what laws he or she will apply. You talk as if they have a choice in what laws can be enforced. News flash .. they don’t.

If cops acted the way you believe that they should, they would be in jail themselves.

“These laws are made by legislature - the constitution allows for that”

Oh I get it. I also get that you are ignoring that those other laws do not rewrite the Constitution. Its really very very simple. The Constitution puts controls on the govt in order to protect certain God given rights.

It doesn’t matter what those other laws are, if they infringe on those God given rights they are unconstitutional.

The justice system and law enforcement have ignored the Constitution in a number of areas. Your excuses are a perfect example. What else will you excuse when times get tough?
