Reply #1: Is registration a "reasonable" restriction anymore?

[krispos42]

Before RKBA was declared an individual right, gun restrictions could be pretty much artitrary because, as a priviledge, it wasn't subject to the strict scrutiny that a right would be.

Well, now it's a right. Doesn't DC now have to prove that not only is registration not an infringement, but a reasonable and effective means to an end?



I also have issue with this statement:

Local officials -- not Congress -- are the best arbiters of their community's needs and priorities.

I doubt that. Look at the nationwide messes that Republican politicians and the residents that support them continually screw themselves in the name of idealogical goal. How's Florida doing? Kansas? Texas?
