Since the
hoplophobes have been dealt setbacks in the courts lately, I look for them to explore other means. I saw something from the NRA-ILA the other day, which I only glanced over, but the gist of it was a new "regulatory" effort to expand the scope of legal infractions that can be used to deny or confound the process of a pre-purchase background check, e.g. traffic offenses, etc.
It's just like with the Commerce Clause, a statist will take something with a plain meaning and within a few legal generations use it to justify the exact opposite of what it says. If a man growing wheat on his own property for his own consumption can be said to fall under the purview of "interstate commerce", then who is to say some bureaucratic edict might not declare with the stroke of a pen that "disqualifying offenses" now includes doing 55 in a 45.
That's where we're at today, we are governed by personalities not laws.
