Its sad that "we" are so scared and worried the democrats are going to ban stuff, that "we" don't even seem to notice or care if a republican does it? Maybe I'm wrong. Seems like a perfect example that Donkeys and Elephants aren't really that different.That seems especially true of this POTUS, who for many years was a registered Democrat, and is on the record as supporting the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.

A ruling that the ban is unconstitutional would be locked into legal precedent and prevent future bans.
This may be smarter than it looks.
There are already legal precedents which indicate this ban is unlikely to be ruled unconstitutional.
