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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
