This is part of a post on a forum based in the Republic of Ireland, a fully-paid-up VOTING member of the EU. The context is the next wave of limitations and strictures on the LEGAL ownership of firearms within the EU member countries, but with particular emphasis on the roles played by a newly-elected rep to the EU standing committee on firearms legislature, who happens to also be an Irish politician...
'The (Irish) Government could ban all guns if they wanted seeing as we don't have a 2A style thing in our Constitution. Although that wouldn't help us much if the EU decided to ban them as EU legislation has supremacy over the Irish Constitution.
Imagine being part of an organisation that you entered into FREELY, by referendum, that was set up to ensure fair trade among its members, and that seems to have ended up running the countries that make it up.
