Excellent. As a lawyer then, you should know that these prohibitive assault weapons 'laws' violate due process, on a "case by case basis". Fiat bans are not due process. The only 'crime' supposedly commited is possession of the newly declared 'criminal' object.
Can you agree?

I don't think you have a clue what due process is.

Nor I, - you. -- You have very odd ideas about constitutional law.

The Congress can make laws that are constitutional. Whether they are constitutional laws are for the judiciary to determine.

Not so, in that ultimately it is up to the people, through the amendment process, as per alcohol prohibition.

I disagree that the AWB law is unconstitutional, but we will find out if it is approved and later challenged, won't we?

We are all aware you disagree.
I'm asking why[?], seeing that the only 'crime' supposedly commited in the AWB 'law' is possession of the newly declared so-called 'criminal' object.
Can't you formulate an answer?

Indeed it was claimed by former President Bill Clinton that the lobbying efforts of the NRA and other pro-gun groups were directly responsible for the Democratic loss of the House of Representatives in the 2000 election and partially responsible for Al Gore's loss of the Presidency to George W. Bush.

In an interview with CBS News on December 18th 2001, "You've got to give it to them, they've done a good job. They've probably had more to do than anyone else in the fact that we didn't win the house this time. And they hurt Al Gore."

USA Today quipped, "Guns played a key role in Gore's loss of Arkansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia, any one of which could have delivered him the presidency."
