In this case, Braun and his fellow members of the conservative brain trust are trying to convince the gullible that a legislative act will carry more force than a constitutional amendment.
If the Second Amendment doesn’t allow for the regulation of firearms, even in a national emergency, then nothing Braun and his cohorts propose will change that.
And, if the Second Amendment does allow for regulation—which it does, given that the phrase “well-regulated” figures prominently in the amendment’s language—then no amount of grandstanding is going to alter that fact. This is particularly true if the grandstanders don’t have the votes to get the measure out of Congress, much less to override a presidential veto. |

FTA "And, if the Second Amendment does allow for regulation—which it does, given that the phrase “well-regulated” figures prominently in the amendment’s language—"
Sheer BS! The term "well regulated", as used at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, means properly trained. The "shall NOT be infringed" overrides all else! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
