Sometimes it’s easy to focus on the fact that government is prohibited from any infringement period (for any citizen who is not in the state’s custody), and forget the more obvious fact that government has already demonstrated that it does not approach the issue in good faith and already violates the law as it applies to its actions with regard to “gun control”.
This piece from Armed and Dangerous offers a refresher on this take…go now, and read it.
Taxes, Stupidity, and Death 
“BoooOOOOOoo!” (as long as I am an apparition). I really don’t want crazy people and clinically-depressed people to be able to get guns so easily. We keep lousy records, and don’t even transfer the “background checks” to computers. It’s a stupid system, and changes in law could improve it. I have the right to keep my kid safe too, just as much as your right to own a weapon.
1. This society isn’t capable of recognizing insanity any longer, as I point out in the previous post;
2. Laws don’t stop crazy people or criminals, as the spree/mass shootings that have made the news in the last decade + have proved. They do make it harder for law abiding people to address and take responsibility for their own defense;
3. The “law” is in itself, illegal, regardless of the extrajudicial findings of previous courts that say otherwise. “…shall not be infringed.” doesn’t come with an Asterisk, parentheses, or a list of provisos. It was a clear prohibition on the government imposing any “gun control laws”, “reasonable” or otherwise; and
4. If you want government to have that authority, the only lawful way it can be granted is by AMENDMENT…and the reason this hasn’t happened is that it would never be ratified.
