The Second Amendment should help in this case.
I don’t see how the federal government can make any guns laws considering they are forbidden to by the Constitution.
I mean, I know they do anyway, but it should have been stopped long ago by the states putting their collective foots down.
“I don’t see how the federal government can make any guns laws considering they are forbidden to by the Constitution.”
It is all about interpretation of the Second Amendment, the Commerce Clause etc.
A big part of the problem is that many conservative leaders have accepted the New Deal (eg: Gingrich), and those programs are not Constitutional, either. And...federal drug enforcement within the Several states. It is a bit hard to argue against Obamacare (and the like) when we accept the others. Likewise, gun control which will likely come at some point in the future.
It may be that pro-gun States need to pass/clarify Constitutional Amendments which declare the whole of the citizenry, both sexes, ages 18-99, to be members of the unorganized M, and also create mechanisms to convert these groups to a kind of “State Guard” which cannot be federalized, should the feddies ever try to override these amendments via federal Courts or legislation. I am not a lawyer, so I don’t know how this would be accomplished.
We cannot forget: States with Marriage Amendments in their Constitions, passed with large majorities, have allowed themselves to be forced to do something different by federal Courts.
Of course, if we really want real long term change, the only way is to stop sending our children into the socialist factories aka government schools. Many here don’t seem to want to accept that reality.
An act of the legislature repugnant to the Constitution is void.
-U.S. Supreme Court, Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 1803
An unconstutional act is not law; it confers no rights. It imposes no duties, affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as though it had never been passed.
