Cramer v. United States

So, there was this man named Charles Cramer and he was a member of a group of people who believed that the United States government didn't have the right to make people register their guns with them. They thought that the government was trying to take away their rights to have guns, and they didn't want to let that happen.

One day, Charles Cramer did something that got him in trouble with the law. He was carrying a gun without a permit, which means he didn't have permission from the government to have that gun. In the United States, it's against the law to carry a gun without a permit.

Cramer said that since he believed the government shouldn't be allowed to make people register their guns, he didn't need a permit to carry his gun. But the government disagreed, and they arrested him for carrying a gun without permission.

Cramer went to court and argued that his rights were being violated because he believed the government didn't have the right to make him get a permit. But the court said that even though Cramer believed that, he still had to follow the law, and carrying a gun without a permit was against the law.

So, in the end, Cramer lost the case and had to follow the law like everyone else. The court said that even if you disagree with a law, you still have to follow it unless the law is found to be unconstitutional.
