The nation's lawmakers have become more liberal, and the nation has become more touchy-feely
Since when can the 2nd Amendment be voided due certain peoples paranoia?
THe 2nd Amendment hasn't been voided. I can and do own firearms. UNfortunately there are certain places I am not allowed to carry them -- and Liberal Courts have upheld those laws.
Do you think that any amount of fear based laws is going to stop some homicidal maniac from bringing a gun to school?
NO, but it makes the bedwetters and nanny-staters feel like they have done something.
Look - I don;t agree with a lot of laws, and I think this country is in deep doo-doo --- but I am also at heart a very honorable person, and I value my integrity. I may not like a law or a rule -- but the bottom line is - IF IT IS ILLEGAL (IE against the law - good law or bad) and you break that law, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG.
So like making a law that prohibits the bearing of arms...for instance?
So, if Congress passed a law. "Mr and Mrs America, turn them all (your guns) in" you'd line up to do it?. I would not. Such a law is in contravention with the Constitution, and it's really no law at all, but merely has the form of law.
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution, are null and void." Chief Justice Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 5, U.S. (Cranch) 137, 174,176
