In this case, Braun and his fellow members of the conservative brain trust are trying to convince the gullible that a legislative act will carry more force than a constitutional amendment.
If the Second Amendment doesn’t allow for the regulation of firearms, even in a national emergency, then nothing Braun and his cohorts propose will change that.
And, if the Second Amendment does allow for regulation—which it does, given that the phrase “well-regulated” figures prominently in the amendment’s language—then no amount of grandstanding is going to alter that fact. This is particularly true if the grandstanders don’t have the votes to get the measure out of Congress, much less to override a presidential veto. |

FTA "And, if the Second Amendment does allow for regulation—which it does, given that the phrase “well-regulated” figures prominently in the amendment’s language—"
Sheer BS! The term "well regulated", as used at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, means properly trained. The "shall NOT be infringed" overrides all else! |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
