Good news....... "Shall not be infringed" is wording that is concise and easy to understand, to which even tepid temperature intelligent people ought to understand. What's the problem then?
Yet they all ignore it anyway.
Wording does matter though. The ruling was that they acted without Congressional authorization.
It simply means next time they do it again with Congressional authorization and the cycle continues.
Congress doesn't have the power to override the Constitution, so justices should know that.
It is is true the ATF acted without congressional authorization. As you said, Congress does not necessarily have authorization either unless it's abides by the Constitution. Legislation of this kind has been very difficult to pass.... And again as you stated, even if it did pass and was signed by Brandon, it still faces legal challenges because it is contrary to the explicit words of the 2nd Amendment.
Congress cannot make an unconstitutional law that stands either.
