Agreed. However, when there is a dispute between parties, then the Courts do have value. That includes Constitutional issues where, in some instances, interpretation and admonishments are required, hopefully driven by strict interpretation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
At the same time, the GOP could have legislatively remedied the several issues (attacks) that exist today regarding the Second Amendment. For 6 years of the George W. Bush Presidency and for 2 years of the Trump Presidency, the GOP controlled the Presidency, the Senate and the House. But the GOP did nothing to legislatively fix (undo) regulations regarding suppressors, rifle lengths and other nonsensical attacks that we face today regarding the Second Amendment. Instead, the GOP caved to purported polling on gun control along with pressure from the media and Hollywood. As if the standing of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights require approval of the aforementioned.
Those on this forum and the millions of responsible gun owners like us (aka Patriots) aren't the cause of gun related crimes in Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., etc. That was readily apparent during the entirety of my LE career especially having worked in Baltimore, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. The millions of us responsible gun owners are the ones who comprise the bear that has been poked once to often. Not a good thing to do.
