Senator Wants To Avoid 'Constitutional Arguments' On Guns | The Daily Caller:

Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski said at a Senate hearing Wednesday that she wanted to avoid getting “involved in constitutional arguments.” The only problem is that the hearing in question dealt with President Obama’s recent executive actions on guns, which many believe infringes on Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
“I look forward to…listening to the attorney general and listening to this wonderful panel that you’ve invited to participate today,” Mikulski, a Democrat and ardent supporter of gun control, said in her opening remarks ahead of a Senate Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee hearing, which heard testimony from Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “So let’s solve the problem,” Mikuski urged. “Let’s not get involved in constitutional arguments, and let’s help our American people be safe and secure in their home, their neighborhood, their school and their house of worship.” Earlier this month, Obama announced that his administration will force more gun sellers — even low-volume sellers — to obtain licenses and to conduct background checks. The initiative, which was developed in part by Lynch, expands the category of gun sellers considered to be “in the business” of selling firearms.
UNADDRESSED ISSUES:

  • SECOND AMENDMENT A KEY ITEM IN THE CONSTITUTION
  • DIFFICULTY OF NON-DEALERS TO OBTAIN DEALER LICENSES UNDER BATF RULES
  • "DEALER" AN IMPERFECTLY DEFINED TERMINOLOGY
  • IDIOTS IN CONGRESS 
  • EXECUTIVE ACTIONS
  • DEFINING "THE PROBLEM" WHICH NEEDS TO BE "SOLVED"

Suppose she's arrested on "conspiracy to deny rights" charges, sent to a kangaroo court where a judge rubber-stamps a "guilty" verdict, and gets put in jail for 35 1/2 years, fined $2 trillion, and required to shave her head and re-apply tar and feathers to herself weekly as part of her release program (for good behavior).

But let's not get involved in any Constitutional arguments over how she was treated by "the system". That's not important, after all.
