Your final sentence is why this bill is needed.

Or at least, it should be.

It isn't. Because we live in a world of facts, not make-believe where we wish the government followed the Constitution, this bill is necessary.

If you are willing to fight the battle from a Constitutional angle, take your firearm to NY or Maryland and let a cop know you're carrying.

For the rest of us, let's pass this bill.

How about if we get our congresscritters to make a 'sense of Congress' declaration that the Supreme Court should rule in line with what the Constitution acually says?

Nonetheless, the fact is that Congress has usurped many powers not granted to them, and the Supreme Court has gone along with it. It's piling on another bad precedent to try to undo prior bad precedents - treating the symptoms rather than the disease - but it may be necessary.

As the saying goes: The US Constitution describes a wonderful form of government - far superior to the one we live under.
