People, the ignorance and overreacting surrounding the Obama Gun Panic has gotten out of hand. Yes, we know he will do all he can. But let's not get crazy here.
Here are some things he CANNOT do:
Force a registration of weapons:
"The U.S. Supreme Court broadly and unequivocally held that requiring licensing or registration of any constitutional right is itself unconstitutional. --Follett vs. Town of McCormick, S.C., 321 U.S. 573 [1944]"
Force a punitive tax of guns or bullets:
"A state cannot impose a license, tax or fee on a constitutionally protected right. Murdock vs. Pennsylvania 319 US 105 (1942)."
Anyone know any other such court outcomes? Please feel free to post them (with references) so that we can better educate ourselves and our community.
