Another goodun I found elsewhere:To paraphrase:
"A law, repugnant to the Constitution, is void, and no one is obligated to obey it and no official empowered to enforce it."
-- Marbury v. Madison
An Unconstitutional Act is not law; it confers no rights: it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed. (Norton vs. Shelby County 118 US 425 p.442)
Problem is, doesn't the judicial branch have to confer a ruling?anygunanywhere wrote:Great comment:

They won't be available to purchase correct? So I don't see how it's possible.
Not that it's going to happen or anything..

The President (and all his minions that are using the same talking points) have clearly stated that the majority of gun owners are with him and for "common sense" gun laws and compromise. I myself have not been surveyed, but apparently the President and Vice President are both very sure of this.
I would have to assume that is why so many people have joined the NRA in the past month, just so they can get there vote counted as being a firearm owner that supports the President's plan.

If I live to go to jail, I get three square meals a day, free medical care, and i'm too old and fat to be willing to be anybody's "special friend." I'll shank the first person that tries. If I go to heaven defending my rights or my "virtue," I'm OK with that.
The government has no hold over me. My eternal future is assured, and so it is for the gun-banners. Before the Judgement Seat, it will suck to be them, because they are going straight to hades some day. Not me.
Anygunanywhere said it nicely the other day. "I'm with my brothers and sisters. I feel good." As MLK said, I've been to the mountain top, and I've seen the promised land. We may not all get there together, but we WILL get there. There WILL come a day when people like Diane Feinstein are so shunned and so shamed that they can do no more damage. I believe in this with all my heart, and I'm willing to pay whatever price that entails.
