Gun Registration is NOT Constitutional

Where I can and do disagree is with any representation that the Founders would have considered mandatory gun registration constitutional. These were the people who wrote "shall not be infringed" into the Second Amendment, and they did not delegate to government any power over gun ownership. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column disagrees with some "reluctant... 'pro-gun scholars and advocates'" who, for reasons of their own, feel compelled to make unwarranted public concessions to the enemy.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend?

III means exactly what it means. No registration, no licensing, no nothing. Ever. And if I see the beginnings of them making their move to do so, they won't have to come and get them.

infringe comes from the latin infringere: in + frangere (to break).

in other words, you cannot break, or divide, the right to keep and bear arms.

in still other words, the entire 1934 national firearms act and the entire 1968 gun control act are not just unconstitutional, they are a violation of human rights. the former proposes to divide RKBA by the class of a firearm, and the latter by the class of citizen.

those who continue to support these are doing all of this to themselves. give yourselves a gold star for the week.

"for reason of their own" translates to "out of moral cowardice".
