When one comes along that is completely bonkers, so many of us do not even notice any more or even care all that much.»<br /><br />Completely bonkers (and much worse) things have been a constant feature of the USA political landscape.<br /><br />Consider for example "apex" laws and hereditary peanut growing monopolies, which on the face of it are absurd, and exist only because they were purchased by the relevant vested interests (mining speculators and southern segregationists).

And what kind of a good guy, who isn't a member of a police force or the military, needs an assault rifle to do good guy kind of stuff? <br /><br />Mass shooters are often found to have stored thousands of rounds of bullets that are only suitable for automatic, or semi-automatic, firearms. How is that an individual can make purchases of so much ammo and not send up a red flag in some manner? <br /><br />Is there ever a case that a mass shooter is a member of a "well regulated militia"? Justice Scalia and his cohorts a guilty of incitement to commit mass murder on multiple occasions. Why would any one phrase of a Constitutional amendment be any more or less definitive of the entire amendment than any other part of the amendment?
