The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Nation , and the Congress lacks the power to nullify its precepts and its rights bestowed on the people through legislation that shrinks and even eradicates what the Constitution guarantees.

Yet that is precisely what Congress has attempted to accomplish through the infamous immunity legislation, enacted in 2005, known as the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). The findings made by Congress to justify this immunity legislation have since been shown to be false—e,g,. that gun dealers are not complicit in the criminal misuse of the assault weapons they sell. That evidence consists in part of their marketing techniques, some of which we will review and which reveal the intent to market toward children and the very high-risk groups who routinely use these weapons to commit mass murder.

Furthermore, the PLCAA was enacted relatively soon after the expiration of the assault weapons ban. The strategy in place, to mass market military grade weaponry to private citizens, goes back to the '70s and '80s when the NRA began funding legal research and legal seminars, promoting the idea of a personal right to such weapons. Part of the justification was the false, illogical notion that the Second Amendment was intended to allow citizens to rebel (aka commit treason) against the very Constitutional government providing such a right. Jump to our present-day crisis and it's not difficult to see how we got January 6, 2021, or the epidemic of mass shootings across the nation. 

Who is funding these movements? Who profits? We examine the financial motivations behind these developments, as well. 

The Second Amendment was not intended to ensure individual access to weaponry without state regulation. And it does not exist as the supreme law which cancels out our rights under the rest of the Constitution, such as our right to assemble, or our right to life, liberty and property.
