The rules outlined by the Governor of New Mexico are almost exactly the same as the rules for restricted firearms (handguns and long guns under 18.6") in Canada. The only difference being that you need special authorization to take it to any of those places though a registered document for each location.

Godspeed in your fight for liberty, and may the gun laws of Canada never darken your doorstep again!

> We often cite an Antonin Scalia quote where he describes the impossibility of lawmaking in America as a feature, not a bug:

Unfortunately, there's a way to hack this plan:

Step 1: Use whatever resources you need to get a law passed that delegates you power.

Step 2: Abuse said power and dare congress to stop you.

Was the note about interning Japanese Americans (Executive Order 9066) "It’s not difficult to find a flaw there" supposed to be sarcastic?

No. Lots of flaws in the internment's logic.

And they are?

Clarifying that we're talking about the same thing: you're asking for reasons that the internment was a bad idea?

I'm asking for flaws in the logic, i.e., no retrospective arguments.

There's no flaw in thinking during WWII that there might be a Japanese spy operating in the US, that was plausible. The flaw is in assuming that (a) the internment would prevent espionage or (b) any of the above overrides the liberty of the imprisoned people.

Well, it's hard to spy when one is kept away from important infrastructure.

> (b) any of the above overrides the liberty of the imprisoned people.

That might depend on one's values.
