But, more seriously, I am going by state and federal laws that regulate firearms.
Just as the Constitution allows reasonable restrictions on free speech, free press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, protection against search and seizure...the same reasonable restrictions apply to firearms.
there are numerous writings from the founders that make it very clear that congress had no authority over the arms of the people. That is what was recognized and ratified. the Constitution doesn't allow for those reasonable regulations, the courts made excuses to allow such things to happen
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
