And get a lawyer to repeal the unconstitutional bans on Machine guns and importing "Assault Weapons". Would this work or do you have to break the law to be able to get something in front of the supreme court. I would be willing to donate some money towards this how bout you?
BTW: Because of so many people recommending the book Unintended Consiquences (I am on page 152) This gave me the idea. ETA: Changed the title to see if that will add some motivation ETA: changed again to fix unconstitutional versus constitutional

We already have several of those. They're called the NRA, GOA, JPFO and there are a bunch of others.

Even if everone on this site kicked in $5 we would only have $375,000. Hell the NRA has a hard time holding ground and as of late some victorys. I do like the way you think though.

I understand this though. I am a member of the NRA also but I understand they can only do so much. I know they pick their fights also. I am willing to throw my money away because I want to see the outcome, I want to see how far this will go. |

I think the whole point here is that the orgs want to see a more gun-freindly panel of SCOTUS judges before they make the financial commitment to back (what would become) a high-profile case.

Ok just recieved an IM. I do not mean to do anything stupid, notice I mentioned getting a lawyer and going that route. I did not intend to do something first.

Yup. We could shoot ourselves in the foot (heh), by acting too soon. |

You make a good point. But if worst come to worst how long do we wait. |

Ok with all this talk about Alito being pro gun would it be a good time to bring this issue up? Given he is chosen.

I'd settle for a group buy on Golden Rods.

"unconstitutional ammendments"?
I don't think there are any, by definition. |

How could a constitutional amendment be unconstitutional?

Amendment 9: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. When an amendment does what this amendment prohibits. That is how. |

I was thinking the same thing. The title needs to be more clear. |

There must be some way to challenge the law without breaking it... any lawyers here?

jmboom, there was no need to fix the title... you had it right. Read the 9th amendment. |

Sorry, but another amendment can override the 9th amendment.. Just like the 18th Amendment was repealed by the 21st Amendment. The following amendment overrides the preceeding amendment, where applicable. We could pass another amendment denying a specific group specific rights. ETA: I must admit that the only time I've heard "unconstitutional amendment" was when Louisiana passed its own amendment prohibiting gay marriage or civil unions. An appeals judge said that the amendment was "unconstitutional" because it violated the LA constitution by addressing two separate topics: marriange and civil unions. Go figure. However, he was addressing the way an item was drafted and passed, not the specific content or the right of the state to address that content. |

Yup. The Silveira case in California is a good example. |
