well, i'm sure that they're gonna let you have guns, it's the ammo they're gonna tax into oblivion.

That would still be an infringement on the Second Amendment and the Supreme Court would shoot that down in a New York minute.

IMO, the problem IS the Supreme Court.

The founding Fathers wrote documents that spoke clear English to a country of mostly illiterates and needed no interpretation then or now. Today we have a court that wriggles new "rights" into law that they have no business interpreting.

The Supreme Court cannot make law. They only interpret and rule on cases presented to them. However, liberal judges can be quite damaging to our rights per their interpretation.
We need Constitutional judges throughout the judicial system.

 

[J. Yuma]

along the same lines:
you may have a gas stove.
heck, you can install a gas stove in every room.
but gas may be a problem.

Opinion | Biden-Harris still hate your gas stove, you won't believe how much — Fox News

The Biden-Harris administration claimed they were done targeting gas stoves. No chance. They continue the regulatory assault on a home appliance preferred by nearly 40% of Americans.

What I've learned about law.
There are plenty of laws, certainly plenty of lawyers.
The laws aren't important, the people who enforce the laws are important.

If this is an issue, you're several years behind the curve.

yes, I am.
It's seems like every day I'm more surprised (blindsided?) by whatever is in the news.

Jefferson warned us about the judiciary ,
He warned us about alot of things .
They warned us about treason , like we see today

IIRC, there is a law in NYC that bans the installation of gas stoves in any/all new construction.... probably 5-10 yrs old now.

To be fair, would anyone of us want to be on the Supreme Court? Yes, we have a constitution but to be clear, it did not cover every conceivable situation. There are basics like freedom of speech and freedom of the press and the second amendment. The problem comes in when states and Presidents, like what we have going on right now, make decisions that they know full well will not pass the muster of the Supreme Court but they pass them anyway. They know it will be years before it makes it through the appeal system and mostly they are hoping no state AG has the guts and the time to do it.

There is also the question of the basic amendments and their interpretation and then the consideration of how those have been handled in courts over the years that never got to the SC. Get some liberals on there and you can quickly have a mess. The biggest issue right now are all these government agencies passing regulations that were never passed by the people appointed to make the laws. These regulations are way out of hand and are certainly above what we ever thought things would be. The conservative justices point to the constitution and say in its purest sense the laws are passed by congress but the liberal justices point to precedence over the past.

I am very dubious when it comes to 1A and 2A rights. I know some on here hold that they are written in stone but it is clear they are not. They did, in fact, vote on an assault weapon ban at one time. There are multiple ways around many of these issues, control prices through taxes and environmental regulations (think lead and gun powder) and simple control of the media that is largely leftist owned. IN MY OPINION, we are going to struggle maintaining our rights over the next few years and we better get off our butts and support people who are defending us whether we like them of not.

Two issues. Until "covid" limited production as claimed by Vista Outdoors we had good supply of everything and at reasonable prices. Vista needs to make a profit for its shareholders. They have avoided monopolistic practices by doing such a patriotic action in selling off the big three primer manufacturers to a foreign company, CSG. That will be voted on next month. Couple that with the UN wanting to disarm the world and I can see the writing on the wall.
How to tell that big Vista's videos working 24x7 were BS. One manufacturer always had supply and they were not owned by Vista. Also components became scarce but were amply supplied in ammunition, a more profitable commodity by Vista owned entities. Just my opinion of things.

Huskerguy72....I agree with what you are saying. The problem there is that most voters don't. The proof of that has been evident for the past 3 or 4 election cycles, meaning that there's been candidates whom were strong supporters of the Constitution that we could have had as President, but not a one made it past the primaries.....What that tells me is that your average American simply does not give much importance to such things. I guess it's more important that certain groups get free stuff, mothers are allowed to continue murdering their children, and that sexual deviancy gets to run rampant, because those are the sort of things that seem to attract votes these days....And BTW, did you know that there is an actual "Constitution Party", and that they have a candidate on this election ballot?....Wonder why hardly anyone ever even mentions anything about it, even on a gun forum?...Seems odd to me, but there it is.

Because there is a 0% chance that person would win under any circumstance. They only pull votes from the viable candidate. It's throwing your vote away. Nobody is influenced by a protest vote.

Is that good? No.
Do I like it? No.
Do I wish someone truly aligned with the Consitution and committed to be bound by it could win? Yes.

But that ain't the case. It is what it is.

have your cars.
now about the gasoline...

California already has the highest combined (local-state-federal) gas tax in the nation, at 87 cents, followed by Pennsylvania and Illinois at about 78 cents, according to a 2020 analysis by the American Petroleum Institute.
