IMHO, these code sections must be rescinded.

All of them?
Why would you want to rescind the ability of the President to protect people from deprivations: " -- of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law --- " ? Doesn't he have a sworn duty to do so?

Because many applications of those powers exceed his authority, unless you subscribe to the selective incorporation doctrine of the 14th Amendment. The law as it stands is thus, too broad.

This is not the sort of comment one expects to read on FR.

If the second ammendment were in force, there would be no cause for such regulations to exist. Do you really believe that the government is here to pull everyone's fat out of the fire? It's your job to protect your family, and it is the government's job to keep the nation strong, thus protecting your rights, and your ability to provide for your family.
