Forcing the NRA "Underground"

Some New York politicians are crowing about the fact that the NRA recently had to rent a hall under a different name to avoid their unconstitutional pressure for their citizens to NOT allow them to have meetings in opposition to gun control. They arrogantly think that's a GOOD THING, when it is NOT. It is a violation of the "free assembly" clause in the Constitution, the document to which ALL LAWS must conform. They arrogantly think they can ignore it, make their laws, and enforce them, without consequences. But such laws will eventually be DECLARED unconstitutional, and thrown out with the other trash. But not until after maybe YEARS in which they are enforced, and the damage has been done. And without provisions to PUNISH the makers of such laws, they will continue to make them. Forcing the NRA "underground" is NOT a "good thing," and violates a basic constitutional RIGHT. The right to "free assembly," which the Constitution GUARANTEES, along with the right to FREE SPEECH. It's too bad they can't be arrested, charged, and imprisoned for such violations. One politician says that the fact that they have to rent halls under different names is PROOF they are "in the wrong." But actually, all it proves is that New York politicians have overstepped their lawful authority, and THEY are "in the wrong." (Reason Magazine)
