It All Depends on the Meaning of the Word "Infringed"

"The reality is that his right to bear arms was not infringed upon," Simons said. Though Bleiler lost his license, he may carry a visible gun in public and keep a gun at his home.

Give this story a close read. By avoiding a Second Amendment challenge because it's too hot, or it's too cold, or it's never "just right," the major gun groups have guaranteed that someone else will make one independently of them and their (stated) concerns.

Man David,that is one odd story.It's sad he lost his permit,but what he did is a little odd as well,considering the times which we are living in now,and the unreasonable paranoia with which the gov't wants the non/anti-gunners to view us as "gun lovers." I think the public will be glad for us to be armed one day!! Welcome back!!
