Don't forget that we also have a Federal Attorney General and a President that have taken upon themselves the power to decide which laws they wish to enforce, and even to make up their own rules through Presidential decree.
In the political environment we currently live in, you can be convicted of breaking laws that were not even voted on by Congress, while some real laws are simply not ever enforced.
Lordy, lordy, you're right. But this is the gun talk thread. This goes in the "why obama will win" thread. ;}
