Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.

There SHOULD NOT BE, however in this day and age is seems parsing of EVERY word allows that... sigh...

@ NFO. From Thomas Sowell.

The gun control crusade today is like the Prohibition crusade 100 years ago. It is a shared zealotry that binds the self-righteous know-it-alls in a warm fellowship of those who see themselves as fighting on the side of the angels against the forces of evil. It is a lofty role that they are not about to give up for anything so mundane as facts – or even the lives of other people.

Yeah, you're right... dammit!

It is Sowell who is correct. I've had those thoughts, but not the skill to put them into those effective words.
