It's convoluded nonsense. The arguments are only ever supported by more nonsensical arguments that are in turn supported by more nonsense. It seems that the people who argue for it are playing that game knowing that this kind of recursive logic is wrong, but they have an agenda and know that so long as they never admit that it is bullshit then there will be stupid people who believe it. The very idea that the government does not have the power to issue laws or enforce them is retarded on it's face. If the courts are not valid then the gun IS the law so either way you better do what they say or fight them to the death.
