The Bill of Rights is part of the constitution.

By force? Is the National Guard out preventing you from buying?

You're right, nuisance level does not make something legal or illegal.
Actual laws and court precedents do that. And the Supreme Court has ruled on
more than one occasion that your interpretation of no-Sunday-sales laws as
unconstitutional is not valid.

Whatever. There are lots of laws that get enforced against my will. That is
not oppression. That is part of the cost of living in a democracy. Just
because I don't like my tax money going to the Pentagon or the CIA does not
mean I'm being oppressed in having it done.

It's called law.

Seriously, you need to get out more if you think fines and jail time for
breaking legitimate laws that have been upheld by an independent judiciary
is oppression. Unless you're an anarchist. In which case I'll buy you're
argument. But there's no way to have the rule of law without enforcing those
laws.

You want oppression? Go look up Stalin.

Haven't had that one. BridgePort seems to send only the IPA down to my hood.
