Report brought to you by the “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” people…
We don’t need any bills to ensure continued recognition of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights because the presumption is there is nothing government is authorized to do in terms of prior restraint infringements.
Why is this one different, and why do “we” unquestioningly tolerate it?
Once again, “we” demand redundant laws to be passed to bring the government to heel, in spite of the fact that the Supreme Law, which they routinely violate with more frequency than a Ham Radio, already forbids them from impeding the free exercise of the 2nd Amendment in any way, shape or form. And do “we” suppose they’ll take this new law seriously when they ignore all the others? Until we start tarring, feathering and hanging serial violators of the Bill of Rights, infringements will continue with abandon.
