“”Who really cares about it being unconstitutional? This is what’s right to do,”

Sometimes I think our side is naive to think the other side actually cares about what is right.

Yes they really don’t care about our Constitution. They just care about getting their views advanced. They view the Constitution as some old piece of paper that has no legitimacy.

Who really cares about the constitution?

These days, not many Americans; how many have even read it?

The Pennsylvania Constitution says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be questioned. Not that this woman would care.

I’d say she probably DID graduate (from high school)....but the point is that that means virtually NOTHING these days.

The Dems hate the Constitution...

Fairness Doctrine and/or Localism
Hate Speech laws
All encompassing gun bans
Not defending America adequately from outside threats (Massive disarmament and reveling of secrets to our enemies)
Taxing to the Nth Degree
And so on...

The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Yes...and this isn't a new issue...

But actually, you have to also look at 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 6120 (Pre-emption in the Uniform Firearms Act)

See Ortiz v. Commonwealth, Pa. (1996)
and
Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, in NRA v. City of Philadelphia, 2008

but mostly...

Clarke v. House of Representatives, (PDF), nicely discussed here.
