It's that simple.
When are we going to stop accepting governments demanding to "show me your papers" before we can enjoy the freedoms guaranteed to us by birthright?
Anything less is appeasement. And appeasement only makes the aggressor, more aggressive.
We must fight the fight. Stop "accepting" tighter and tighter restrictions.
They don't work anyhow. The criminals still break the law. All you are doing is hurting the honest people.
There is no way to "sensibly apply 2257," as it is unconstitutional. And it will always be so.

What do you propose exactly? The reality is you are one person. You cannot defeat the government. Even if 2257 gets struck down, they will just draft up and pass something else.
This is not like the start of our country where if we disagreed with the way we are run we can organize a rebellion and fight a war. The government will never give in and they make the rules. Unless you can overthrow the government and redefine the law and judicial process, you will always have to deal with it.
I admire your conviction but I would think there are more pressing issues that need fighting than 2257.
