This is better than before; however, I need to comment: The idea that we are a country of laws and freedoms is a myth. Lawyers are quick to look back at legal precedence, but rarely question the sanity of a prior court, rarer still, the sanity of a SCOTUS decision. For instance, the restriction of the 2nd Amendment to only apply to the federal government in the 1876 "United States v. Cruikshank" is absurd, from a quick look at the US Constitution. The first Amendment, only, explicitly applies to Congress. Virtually all other right in the Bill of Rights have been protected from state intervention, how can "United States v. Cruikshank" be reasonable? Furthermore, one prior anti "assault-weapons" ban was at the national level, as well as laws requiring a tax stamp for a fully automatic weapon.
