"Cruel and Unusual Punishment"

The Constitution prohibits any law that constitutes “cruel and unusual punishment” for any “crime.” So, of course, Virginia passes a law allowing 12 months’ imprisonment for EACH and every magazine held by a citizen that holds 12 rounds or more. One month in prison for EACH magazine that can hold 12 rounds or more. If that isn’t “cruel and unusual,” I don’t know what is. Yet Virginia has passed that, and other unconstitutional laws, KNOWING they are unconstitutional, which should be a crime in itself, for anybody connected with the making of such a law. Unfortunately, the Founders erred in not making knowingly passing unconstitutional laws a crime for those passing them, so they get away with passing them into law, and enforcing that law on an unsuspecting public, until the Supreme Court gets around to declaring the law unconstitutional. By then, much damage has been done. People’s lives have been ruined, money and property has been lost, and people have died because they are defenseless against the millions of ILLEGAL guns out there in the hands of law-breakers. And when those laws are declared unconstitutional, nobody ever goes back and corrects SOME of the errors that destroy people’s lives. Just as they don’t go back and reverse policies put in place by a president (Obama) who is a president illegally, since he was born outside the United States. (Washington Examiner)
