I'd also like to point out that our founders knew about full auto weapons and didn't have an issue with them when they wrote the second.

Which translates to, its not specific enough so that we can circumvent it. For example, the right to bear arms, is the right to bear arms. Don't like it? Go. Fuck. Your. Self. Move somewhere else. We don't give a fuck. This is my interpretation of its "vagueness". In my mind, I keep going back to "Its a republic, not a 'democracy'. If you don't like the rules of the republic, then this republic may not be the place for you. No one is keeping you here, we wouldn't do that. Its not our way. But if you want to stay, thems the rules right there in print. FYI none of this is directed at you, this is just the shit that goes through my head when libs start talking about some of this stuff.

The Constitution is vague as fuck, you're interpreting my point to clarity, but it isn't, at all, and has sliding definitions/applications/interpretations/applications.
And if you're going to posit something as broad as "all X is unconstitutional," be prepared to back that up. How is it? Why is it? How do you speak to the Supreme Court upholding and/or not even taking up a case/piece of legislation?
Section 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, forthe Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;
And To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Now, if it's not an enumerated power, it belongs to the states according to the clear writing of the Founders. If it's not an enumerated power, they cannot grant the executive power to create an agency as the executive is the enforcement arm. The judicial lacks oversight on much. I can provide you a list of things they are permitted to hear on if you like.

Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostActually, the executive branch cannot create an agency according to the constitution unless it's directly related to his very few powers. Congress can only create agencies to further their 18 enumerated powers.
The Constitution is clear.
All firearms legislation is unconstitutional. From the NFA to concealed carry permits, it's unconstitutional.

What firearm legislation is flatly unconstitutional? Things have been cut down, some pieces have been removed, etc., but they have gone through the requisite challenges.
Again, some of the stuff fucking sucks, I won't disagree with you, but the 3 branches have worked long and hard to create the system we have now. So blame John Marshall, the most powerful man in the history of this country.

Roberts operates in a similar matter and is changing a lot of things/creating new precedence, which is scary.
