First off, allow me to preface this with a couple of quick caveats.
I'm new here, and haven't quite gotten a feel for what might be taboo. So if the mods view this as inflammatory, off-topic, or out of line for any reason, I will not be offended if this post is locked, moved, deleted, or any other action is taken. I'll simply check it off as lesson learned, and move on.
Now that I'm through that, let's get to the meat of my query.
ISTR Philly proposing mapping the homes of gun owners a while back, though I could have my cities mungled. Another mapping issue came up (which is not a 2a related point, so I'll omit it here) that's a bit closer to current events. Much of the discussion hinged around the constitutionality of mapping protected classes. (I view gun owners as a constitutionally protected class). Many considered that mapping would not be unconstitutional, as it does not represent an infringement. Their position was that an obvious slippery slope type of action (such as mapping) does not violate COTUS. An additional justification was that since so many of us have applied for, and carry CCWs, a defacto map of gun owners exists at your local sheriff's department or state police station, and is but a few keystrokes away from an actual map with today's technology. As such, the concept of creating actual maps is moot.
Thoughts?
