What I meant is that they have no other choice if they actually want to enforce this law.

Bullshit. The 2A supercedes the crap law they passed.

If they passed a law saying certain words could land one in jail if uttered, would that be Constitutional?

No. Well, neither is this.

I don't believe you're actually reading what I'm writing.

I'm not addressing whether the law is Constitutional.

I am saying ONLY that if they want to enforce it they are not currently empowered...nor are they likely to ever be...to go kicking down doors based on a list of background checks.

Do not think for a minute that I'm advocate for this law, nor for any LEO that is corrupt enough to attempt enforcement. No do I believe that it's legal under the Constitution.

There are quite a few words that if uttered will land you in jail in the USA. Isn't constitutional, but that old rag hasn't mattered in forever. Put not your faith in law these days; we are no longer an nation of laws, but of power. Voting fails, the law fails and we are running out of boxes.

The US Constitution applies to the federal government.
