    Gun Control Legislation Should Be Suspended By Default While Under Appeal.

    When states pass legislation that limits 2nd Amendment rights, the presumption of the peoples’ right to keep and bear arms should mean that the new law should be enjoined until the case makes its way through the appeals process. Frankly, this should be the default for any law abridging Constitutional rights. When a state says that a Constitutional right needs to be limited, it’s implying that the citizens of that state are abusing that right, and those citizens should be presumed innocent until proven otherwise. As a consquence, any law that restrict those rights should be enjoined until it’s proven that the citizens are guilty of the abuse they’re being accused of.
