these laws that have been passed by states are unconstitutional. they go against the definition of america.
Take it to the Supreme Court then. Like the poor old black man did when Chicago banned the right for him to have a gun, even in his own home!

BTW Protesting against taking away 2nd amendment rights by the lesbian and gay community in Chicago was strangely non-existent. In fact a alderman known for being gay supported the city taking away 2nd amendment rights as did the majority of the city's religious leaders, including the bastard producing Rev. Jackson.

majority does not rule, state law doesn't supersede the constitution. not sure why anyone wishes to make the attempt.
granting of rights already given to some doesn't equate removing of rights from those already enjoying them.

These are the same folks who were against the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act in the 1960's. Who stood on the steps with guns rather than have an American with different skin pigment get a public education and the rest of their Constitutional rights as Americans.
