Sorry--- I just GOTTA get in here! EVERYONE has to interpret the constitution. The Supreme Court once ruled that black people could be constitutionally deprived of any and all civil rights. Did that decision make it right and proper?
You, I, Tpaine and every other citizen of this country has to be prepared to decide on the legality of any law congress or state legislators might pass. Rosa Parks decided that the law which pushed her to the back of the bus wasn't legal or proper, and she was right! She took a bit of flak for her actions but she won in the end. We will probably have to do something similar to get some of the unconstitutional gun laws repealed.
But it is we, not a group of pampered, carefully protected, over-aged lawyers who will make the ultimate decision.
While opposed to the extension of the AW ban it has little or no impact upon my rights no matter what YOUR opinion is about it. It merely joins the list of laws I am opposed to maybe it is number 1,101,111 on the list.
Your priority for our RKBA's shows your lack of respect for our constitution.
Just because YOU (or I or Harvard Law School) have the OPINION that something is/isn't unconstitutional does not make it so. Only a ruling from the US Supreme Court can make it so even though I know that infuriates you to no end.
Backwards. The clear words of our constitution speak to every man. A USSC decision, if repugnant to constitutional principles, is void.
IE, the USSC cannot make a prohibition of 'assault weapons' constitutional. Their opinion would be flawed by the logic of the 2nd amendment.
We the people have the right, ~and the duty~, to fight such infringments.
Why ~you~ would ignore such infringements is best addressed by your mental health specialist.
