I mean, people let these retarded laws be passed for decades now. A lot of infringement was allowed, which is how we get to the part like this where the court can in fact say dumb shit and have the legal framework to be correct on it.
That's why you never concede an inch. Because it takes 10x the force to get rid of garbage than it does to prevent it from coming to pass to begin with.
It's even worse than that: Infringement is thanks to the 10th Amendment but if you knock down one of the Amendments of the Bill of Rights, it makes the rest more susceptible for the same. And there could be further problems if you get rid of the Amendment that reserves power to the states - we could end up with a much more powerful federal government.
So even if you painstakingly got rid of all the garbage, there is no way to prevent it from building back up again.
Their violation of the 2nd isn't because of the 10th. That's just rationale to run this person through the system. It's true there has been debate on that forever (and if states just decide not to follow the courts then we have fun times ahead) but from the perspective of federal courts, incorporation is settled law especially when it comes to the bill of rights.
We should make all laws expire automatically.
