i understand the lines of reason.its called the supremacy clause, stucker. it's in the same constitution as the parts neoconservative chicken-littles love to champion. read it much?
The Supremacy Clause doesn't allow Congress to just make up laws will ye nil ye. They still have to live within their enumerated powers.
stucker is crying a river over not being able to buy artillery; the commerce clause and coercion in the spend clause can facilitate a national ban on such items, as history has shown, even to the chagrin of those few folks who want chainguns to be legal.
Well, you can't have people building nuclear bombs in their bathtubs... so clearly a line must be drawn. Unalienable rights only extend to the point where they don't interfere with the unalienable rights of other citizens.
That said, I think there's value in following a line of thought out to the worst case scenario and intellectually exploring it. It shows us where the potholes are.
