You won't find me ever saying overturning a law as unconstitutional is outside the purview of the SCOTUS. I think legislation from the bench comes in forms of a judge saying "yuou must rewrite the property tax distribution for schools in AZ because I don't think it's fair". That kind of crap.
Based on your interpratation of the first amendment, then GD, I suppose the government could ban churches. As long as people can worship within their own homes their rights aren't being infringed upon. As I read the first amendment, it says "Congress shall make NO law".
In all seriousness, though, would you view groups such as the NRA as different than a corporation?
