Government abuses like THIS are another reason why all Americans must now put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!
If you look up the history of our Bill of Rights, you’ll see that the Second Amendment was actually the fourth in the originally submitted BoR.
Article the First dealt with appropriation of Congressional Representatives through the Census (a practice I wish they’d ratify);
and Article the Second concerned the assignment of raises to Congress through Congressional approval which was ratified in 1992 after 200 years.
If Article the Second can be ratified after 200 years, then Article the First should be ratified now!
