IIRC only the Supreme Court has the power to interpret constitutionality.

And guess who holds a supermajority on the court right now?

I don't think there's a specific "get rid of judges I don't like" clause in the constitution, unfortunately. (Or maybe fortunately; that think would be abused as hell.)

I respect your right to ruin your life, but I don't have to celebrate it

"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!"- Romans 1: 21-25

Most people don't. A lot of the nuts I find and debate on the internet who absolutely hate the USA know very little about how it actually works, and they sure as h### haven't read the Constitution or anything like that.

The amount of people I've interacted with who didn't know you need 60 votes to pass legislation without opposition is staggeringly high. It's mind boggling really, you'd expect civics to cover all of this.

It's almost like evil people who wish to see the downfall of the USA have infiltrated its school system and writes the curriculum to show the USA as a terrible bad no good evil pla... WAIT A MINUTE.

lol, WRA doesn't know how laws work in the very industry he's involved in. He's a no better source for this type of info than anyone else.

And all Joe would have to do is declare the GOP a terrorist or right-wing extremist organization, which they 100% are so that shouldn't be an issue.

The really funny thing about you trying to say this is literally everything I said in that post was legal was listed on GunBroker at the time I posted it lol. Yes, you can own RPG's as Title 2 items. You don't know everything and really need to stop making a fool of yourself by assuming you do.

Why are you guys still arguing about this? It's over. Republicans won this one.

It just remains to be seen how the real election goes, and if the winner is Biden, what he decides to do about it.
