How anyone can argue that this doesn't make sense is staggeringly stupid.

It's not about whether it makes sense. It is a matter of whether it is constitutional. It clearly isn't under the current interpretation of the 4th Amendment.

Many people believe that arguing that citizens should have the right to own guns is staggeringly stupid, and I am glad the 2nd Amendment is there to protect me from them. And I can either support the whole constitution, or ignore it. I am not going to support the portions I like and rally against the ones I don't, unless I am willing to give up all my guns.

Then we are doomed as a civilization when so many things that make sense are unconstitutional. Is our constitution that bad or are the interpretations that bad. Either way, a society cannot stand an infinite amount of stupidity even if someone (typically not that bright) in a black robe says that "it's unconstitutional". We will not survive this madness. I went to school with a lot of people who became attorneys and one who became a federal judge. I'm not impressed in the slightest and if these people are making the critical decisions by which we live then we are in real trouble.

You can pass a law that says it's illegal to rain on Tuesdays and even put it into the constitution but if mother nature wants it to rain on Tuesday, then it's gonna rain. So this is the problem with the American Legal System and why it is putting us into such a mess with crime and general stupidity on so many levels. It is also killing our international competitiveness. Will we survive our legal system? I don't know but I'm not encouraged.
