The conclusion that we are coming to is, unfortunately, that the rule of law is, NOT! That each individual fiefdom can make up it's own rules ignoring what is clearly written in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
That can only lead to one thing.
Now you understand. That's what the gunowners in Morton Grove, Illinois found out over twenty years ago.
They also found out the justices of the Supreme Court weren't interested in Civil Rights when they refused to hear the case.
Except it doesn't lead to only one thing. It leads to getting more conservative candidates which leads to conservative politicians which leads to conservative judges which leads to conservative rulings.
