This woman clearly is a wannabe dictator that thinks she could rule by decree. Fortunately she’s really stupid as well as being a slut so I don’t think she has much chance in spite of the Media adulation.

And, therein lies the problem. NONE of them ever noticed “NOT” in the sentence apparently and think it says “shall be infringed”.

Post-17th Amendment ratification, constitutionally low-information Sen. Harris unsurprisingly doesn’t seem to understand that regulating peacetime, non-military firearms is not one of Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, consider that the only express constitutional power to effectively regulate peacetime firearms allows Congress to make only laws that discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, including 2nd Amendment.

From the 14th Amendment (14A):

The Supreme Court put it this way about Congress's 14A powers.

“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

Also, with all due respect to families and friends who have lost loved ones in shootings, I’m sure that dialing 911 in such situations gives students comfort. /sarc

Also, why should we expect Democrats to enforce unconstitutional federal gun-control laws any better than they enforce other laws, particularly immigration laws?

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA!
