"The court 'says' a LOT of things. Their opinions are not always correct"

Really, then why do certain States infringe on the rights of the people trying to buy a fire arm? It seems the US Supreme Court has a huge amount of influence on us by the rulings they dish out on the "interpretation" of the Constitution.

Right now it's up to the States on how they infringe on gun owners, some posters agree with this stance, not I but it is reality at the moment.

The court 'says' a LOT of things. Their opinions are not always correct.

And we see the result of such misguided court decisions.
State & local governments use democratic 'majority rule' to overturn the Constitutional rule of law.

I don't agree [with Cruikshank] but that's the way it is. The State can infringe on the rights of the people in regard to the 2nd Amendment.
Why? Because the Supreme Court said so.

Why put blame on the USSC? -- Most agree because they want States to have the power to control other people and admit it. No disgrace to support majority rule.. Many here do..

Because those States are controlled [unconstitutionally] by majority rule politics.

Yes, and this is encouraged by those who cite Cruikshank as being 'the law' that must be obeyed.

some posters agree with this stance, not I but it is reality at the moment.

Yep, it's a reality, - due to misguided zeal for 'states rights', and those who say the 2nd must be incorporated before it applies to States.
