Gun Registration Not Supported by History

As for those on "our side" who feel a compelling need to volunteer that the Heller decision combined with Militia Act intent now makes mandatory gun registration "legal," remember that the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land." They and those who would exploit their "reluctant" admissions would do well to remember that some of us know you don't need to wear black robes and speak all the ritual judicial incantations to understand the intent behind our right to keep and bear arms-- and our commitment to preserving and restoring it. [More]
Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column is the third part in a series necessitated by ostensible "pro-gun scholars and advocates" who seem to think mandatory gun registration would be constitutional. Fortunately, I get some expert help.

Part 1: Gun registration is NOT constitutional

Part 2: Militia Act did not establish constitutionality of mandatory gun registration

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs. Tell a friend?

Given that those who believe that citizens should be prohibited from owning guns don't really care whether prohibition is constitutional or not, I've always preferred to argue on practical grounds. Even if gun prohibition were lawful/legal/constitutional, it is a bad idea.

Hoplophobes use constitutionality to blur the issue, not that they care about constitutionality one whit.
