Federal bureaucrats find ‘superhighway’ around Fourth, Fifth Amendments

Leave it to federal bureaucrats to find a way around pesky constitutional requirements.

Wake up call: 2nd Amendment rights vs. the Supreme Court

The year is 2017 and in the best interests of the public safety, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has ruled lawful and Constitutional (in a 5-4 decision) a California state law limiting the purchase of popular pistol and rifle ammunition to only 25 rounds per month per person.
