Gun Control & RKBA

You should check your stereotyping at the door. Since day one I have opposed the Terror / no-fly list as unconstitutional travesties. They are however very popular with the gun control groups who want to ban people on them from purchasing Firearms. Funny how acceptance changes when the shoe fits on the other foot.

You also missed the point that rights are there to protect the minority. Typically the government will act in the best interests of the majority or itself.

I have no problem at all with conducting background checks to prevent people disqualified from owning firearms. At one point I did support registration however it is clear there are far too many who accept the idea of confiscation (with visions of trampling the 4th and 5th Amendments as well) and believe that the Bill of Rights is merely a list of suggestions. I oppose registration for the same reason I oppose voter ID; it is merely a step on the way to disenfranchisement of a segment of society.
