Sometime a bad law that is made constitutional is unenforceable. I am thinking of the Volkstead act.Yes Sir, my point exactly. Just because a law is passed does not mean it is constitutional, although it certainly should be. Some will say that unconsitutional laws should be ignored. Can't argue against that. Problem (crime?) is, once a law hits the books, it is expected/required that it be enforced. Right or wrong, that continues unabated until a court stops it, if ever. The NAF you site being just one of many examples as it is without question, IMO, at the least undeniable infringement.
Then it was repealed because in part it was unenforceable.In January 1919, the 18th amendment achieved the necessary two-thirds majority of state ratification, and prohibition became the law of the land. The Volstead Act, passed nine months later, provided for the enforcement of prohibition, including the creation of a special unit of the Treasury Department.
If the democrats pack the court, firearms laws will be 'made' constitutional.The 21st Amendment, ratified in December 1933, repealed the 18th and brought back alcohol.
