Ignored by every president since signed. Just as the 2nd amendment.

From Wiki:
A well-known internet meme cites the Dick Act as an argument against proposed gun control laws and regulations.However, the meme is inaccurate and cannot be relied on as an argument against the regulation of firearms. To cite one example, the meme claims the Dick Act "cannot be repealed." In fact parts of the Dick Act were effectively repealed when it was modified by the Militia Act of 1908, the National Defense Act of 1916, the National Defense Act of 1920, and the National Defense Act Amendments of 1933.

Where do you get this ""cannot be repealed" nonsense? The most fundamental principle of republican government is that no legislature can bind its successors.

All acts of congress can be amended or repealed by another act of congress.

I'm afraid that you've fallen prey to just another piece of not-very-accurate Internet junk info.

Google the name of the act, and check the Snopes and Wikipedia links. If you don't believe those, check some of the others.

Unfortunately, while not an outright hoax (i.e. the Dick Act was a real piece of legislation), it's not what it's cracked up to be these days.

Yes, the leftist Snopes is the determiner of all factual knowledge of the universe.

Glad you’re here to tell us that.

**SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE **

Anything containing stuff like "**SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE**" can generally be assumed to be fake.

Any LAW can be changed, strengthened, repealed. All it takes is an act of Congress. No Congress can restrict the actions of a subsequent Congress.
