Good question. I didn't know you could pass a law that outlaws the second amendment. This is equivelent to 58% of the people saying they think freedom of speech is being abused and should be outlawed and a law is then passed banning free speech. Regardless of the views on guns the legality and logic behind this doesn't make any sense. Are we a country of rights and laws, or a country of 'democracy' where the mob always gets its way.
