You do however have to break the law to take it before the Courts. Civil lawsuits don't go to the Supremes where these laws need to be challanged. The drumming up of public support is essential for any action like this. The FedGov has enirely too long a history of sweeping embarassments "under the rug."
The publicity can also help stir debate amongst the populace. Look what it has done here on FR with over 350 posts. Not bad for a days conversation. "Some people learn to love the squirrel cage". I can't remember where I heard that one from, but I do know that forceful advocacy of strong Constitutional principles can win many an argument with their sheer logic. It can also help to get people thinking again after their long hiatus.
This has needed to be done for some time now. 80 some million gun owners and it takes someone like this guy to do it. Our "elected officials" sure as hell haven't shown a lot of interest in restoring the Rights they have incrementally taken from us.
Like his politics or not, this just may be the case gun owners need. It is clean of any other legal entanglements. Straight 2A. If this guy has his game plan polished to damn near perfection (ie; get it to the Supremes without lower Courts dunking it), then it will put an entirely new complexion on our way of life.
how many times does this need to be said. You don't have to be arrested to have standing to challenge the law.
