"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater … confidence than an armed man." Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and punishment (1764).

We have elected criminals to govern the nation, and as one should expect, they make laws to protect criminals and take away the natural God-given rights of the governed. All legislation to restrict the 2nd Amd is un-Constitutional and therefore illegal.
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." ~~ Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (2 Cranch) 137 (1803)

Outlaws Legal has defined a license as permission to commit an act that would otherwise be illegal. Last I checked, carrying a weapon is a
God-given right that may not be infringed by my neighbors. By that definition, the act of carrying a weapon cannot be licensed, since it is not illegal in the first place.

If its licensed, it isn't a right.

The language is simple. The manner and location of the bearing of arms are not specified and therefore have no limits. Limits cannot be added as the limited powers clause prohibit it.
