satisataka,
Your post sums up what many of us RKBA supporters have been hoping for a long time. A free citizen in our country should be able to exercise their right to bear arms. Most of us who do would have no problem proving our proficiency, knowledge of self-defense laws in our states, and following the law when carrying. The background check would be fine too IF a private citizen had the ability to check with the government about a prospective buyer's or seller's record before selling or buying a firearm.
Many on the gun control bandwagon assume that there is no middle ground in this discussion. There actually is. Those of us who believe in the Second Amendment are fearful that if we compromise this much, more demands will be made of us.
Thanks for the great post.
