No, of course, there was nothing in my remark implying any such thing.
I have noticed that those quickest to complain of "unconstitutionality" do not have a clue as to the meaning of the constitution. Yet, that does not stop them from demonstrating their ignorance.
Most of the squawkers seem to believe any law they don't like is "unconstitutional." Bad laws, unwise laws, even ridiculously ineffective laws are NOT the same as "unconstitutional" laws. Just because I might not like some doesn't mean they are unconstitutional.

"there was nothing in my remark implying any such thing."
It sure seemed like the remark meant that the Constitution was not a relavent issue.
"Bad laws, unwise laws, even ridiculously ineffective laws are NOT the same as "unconstitutional" laws."
True, but the AWB is unconstitutional. Shall not be infringed is plainly stated in the 2nd amendment. Does the AWB infringe on a citizen's right keep and bear arms? Yes. The 2nd does not say you can keep and bear arms, except ones that look like military weapons or semi-autos. In fact they should be ones that you should be able to keep and bear, due to the need for a well regulated militia. What better way to arm a militia than with military style weapons. But you should know that, being NRA.
