Mack v U.S. (listed as Prinz v U.S.) is often said to be a landmark case against federal firearms laws. This is hardly a correct representation. The Supreme Court case, Mack v U.S., did not invalidate the Brady Bill, nor is it a Second Amendment issue. It simply re-affirms previous Court decisions to the effect that Congress cannot require a state to administer, finance, or enforce a federal law. It removes the state burden of making federal firearms background checks, and requires the federal government either to do the checks, or to pay the state the cost of doing them.

Who Owns the Bill of Rights?

Since the terrorist attacks of 9-11, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has challenged the federal government's warrantless surveillance of telephone calls and emails. In this context, the ACLU properly employs the Bill of Rights as a force against federal usurpation. Is this the same ACLU that applies the Bill of Rights against the states in matters of religion, firearms, voting, and due process? It's nice to pick your situation and apply your ethics at random, but when the ACLU goes to court, do they protect your rights or do they help centralize federal power?
