    I'm not an attorney!!! A South Louisiana Rig Pig's understanding of Harper vs Virginia Board of Elections, where the Supreme Court ruled that your civil rights were granted by your creator, and, any effort to make you pay for the exercise of those rights were unconstitutional. The court ruled that the exercise of your civil rights were not contingent on your "affluence." Therefore IMHO, any number of National Firearms Acts, The Pittman-Robertson Act, multiple state concealed carry schemes, and others should have been declared unconstitutional in 1966. The preceding should not be construed as legal advice, only a rant from a Rig Pig.

    I would love to see every gun control law passed in the last 100 years removed and declared unconstitutional. Bring back full autos, mail ordering firearms to your house and do away with needing a FFL.

    If criminals can get away with doing all of the above and only get a slap on the wrist I see no good reason law abiding citizens shouldn’t legally be able to do the same

    I hate compromises of our rights! The auto ban was a result of a compromise with the Dems to allow interstate travel with legally owned firearms through highly restrictive states.

    Thank to Good Ole Ronald Regan! Repubicans have a track record of being Anti Gun too.
    Yep! And mr trump got the ball rolling with the bumpy things. The right seems to have put more restrictions on the 2A than the left in my lifetime. Mr O was a great salesman but I don’t believe took anything away. Reagan and Trump did some real damage.

    Do not forgot George H. W. Bush banning the importation of H&K rifles too.

    You are correct. Lower courts have long been stepping on our rights. Article VI moreover implies and explains that the enforcement of the Bill of Rights and other Articles within the US Constitution may only be partnered with reasonable laws, rules, regulations, treatises, etc. At no point does Article VI say or imply that states or locales can create any law that regulates the right to bear arms. Article VI known as the Supremacy Clause is Supreme Law, and any entity in government not in good standing is in violation of Article VI and subsequently all of the US Constitution. This falls back to search and seizure and collection of private property, and right to privacy, etc. etc. Unless someone is being detained or arrested for an alleged crime, said property cannot be confiscated. This protects law and order but holds the system accountable.

    Would be so nice to be a fully armed society. This WOULD deter crime, thin the number of victims and give LE somewhat of a break. Seems the government is more worried about civilians not being "trained" than they are considering the fact that the average person's chances of surviving drastically goes up IF they were, in fact, armed. The more gun laws enacted- the more crime follows.

    Trailboss! Wait! What agreement? If you go thru NY or NJ and your license plate is from a gun friendly state, you will be pulled over and if a gun is found, even locked away, you will be prosecuted! Evidently that agreement does not apply to anti-gun states

    As long as you are actively travelling and have not interrupted your travel (like staying in a motel in MD, NJ or NY) you are protected from prosecution.

    Unfortunately, you are correct.

    And, to your point, states like NY and NJ have not kept up their part of the bargain

    This has not stopped people traveling through NY and NJ from getting stuffed in a jail cell

    Yeah, there are horror stories of people arrested because their connecting flight through Newark was cancelled and their checked baggage (containing a firearm) was returned to them for the night. As they were heading to the motel, to wait for the next day's flight they were arrested.

    You can't interrupt your travel through the state.

    This is what gun owners have received for “compromise”. And the media wonder why we “refuse to budge” and “compromise” our rights away.
