Unconstitutional laws are NOT laws, as far as 2A is concerned the supreme court just recognized that in overturning the illinois CCW prohibition.
I agree, wusker, but the problem is that someone has to be convicted of violating an unconstitutional law, then appeal and hope that the appeal makes it to the Supreme Court and they are found innocent. Even then, paying for the legal bills could bankrupt most people I know. Then there is the problem that even among Supreme Court Justices are folks who obviously lied when taking their oath because they do have "mental reservations" and at least one hasa "purpose of evasion". Then assuming that a majority of the Supremes rule in favor of the Constitution the conviction is overturned and the law declared unconstitutional.
BUT, keep this in mind. BOTH of the previous two ruling in favor of the 2A were by 5 to 4 votes. IF a SINGLE Justice retires or dies, the odds are that Obama will replace that judge with a person who is as Marxist as he is, and that will reverse the vote to 4-5. When that happens Marxist will create a gun case ASAP and rush it to the Supremes, who will immediately reverse the last two decisions and go so far as to "interpret" the 2A to apply only to the military, and that laws forbidding citizens owning firearms are not only constitutional, but mandatory. THAT act would trigger an armed rebellion, but it would be short lived. Scarce ammo vs 2 billion rounds.
The only hope and choice for most Constitution and freedom loving citizens would be to move to or live in a state which, essentially, seceded from the Union. This scenario was predicted by a Russian political professor in 1998.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Panarin He predicted that the USA would break up into 6 parts by 2010. He missed the date but some still believe that something like that will happen before 2016. Here is what he predicted the US would look like:
IF there was some form of civil war and states began to break off, I suspect that Russia would take the opportunity to invade Alaska and take back Seward's Folly, claiming we stole the land in the first place. China would invade Hawaii, and the Pacific territories, and Cuba and Venezuela would invade our Caribbean territories. Mexico (or the drug cartels) would invade the SouthWest and California.
