'Second, the means chosen by the State to effectuate its purpose must be narrowly tailored to the achievement of that goal.'

From my point of view, the majority purpose of the state seems to be to preserve and extend itself, and this was, I guess, was apparent to the founders, and hence the 2nd A.

Rights, as noted, by definition cannot be limited.
That doesn't say that you cannot pay a price for wrongly exercising them, but prior restraint is logically impossible.

'guess I'm getting extremist in my old age, but, logically, I can't see any other way to go.

No to registration, prior checks, etc.

What if you tie in draconian penalties for non registrations? 20 years for a non papered gun...drop gun crime fast?

No, the Supreme Court has already ruled you can not do that.

Forcing someone to register a gun when the government prohibits that person from owning it violates his or her Fifth Amendment rights. Essentially you are forcing them to testify against themselves. You can prosecute them for owning the gun, but not for neglecting to register it.

Ironically, only formerly law abiding citizens may be prosecuted for failure to register a gun. Kind of makes it pointless to register them doesn’t it?

I'm saddened by how comfortable you are with this concept. I acknowledge no such distinction between your rights and mine.

MR, average Joe :rolleyes:
 
mercedesrules,
I rather disagree with WildAlaska on some of his politics, but I thought he started this thread by noting - with some sarcasm - the absurdity of the AW ban.

Let's let him fill in what he thinks is "common sense", shall we? (That is, unless we're all on his ignore list)
