It depends upon what the meaning of the word "infringed" is.

I guess the Democrats know their low-income constituents better than I do, and can count on their continued votes no matter how unaffordable they make self-defense in neighborhoods with heightened need.

  2. The Supreme Court already ruled on this, the lower courts are ignoring this as well.....in Murdock V Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court ruled you cannot tax the exercise of a Right......this needs to be spread among the gun community so they can start hammering politicians and judges with this.

  3. I posted a comment on that site about re-imposing poll taxes.
    Needless to say, they deleted it.

  4. Heller embodied the concept of 'reasonable restrictions', meaning, anything short of outright prohibition.
