More on Obama and guns

Hugh Hewitt weighs in on Obama and his "I don’t have the votes in Congress" comment...

The idea that Second Amendment rights depend on Congressional inaction due to a lack of votes is the give-away here.  First Amendment rights cannot be curtailed by Congressional Action. Fourth Amendment rights are not subject to majority vote.  Gunowners and originalists wonder why Obama is conceding that majorities in House and Senate can take guns away.

We should point out that Obama is supposedly a ConLaw professor. As such, he should know that Congress doesn't get to vote on what is or isn't a Constitutional right.

So what should we gather from this? Namely that Obama is lamenting the fact that he doesn't have those votes! If he had them, he'd surely dust off that old quote from Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
