How many here believe that the laws enacted by Congress by in 1934, 1968, 1986 and 1994 are acceptable when it comes to the 2A?
As near as I can tell there appear to be three camps.
Camp one proclaims that any gun law other than the 2A is illegal.
Camp two says that any gun law is the law and laws must be obeyed wether they like them or not.
And camp three being folks who see some laws as restrictive and rediculous while maintaining that other laws are quite necessary and they are glad they exist.
I am more so inclined to agree with camp one than any other on any given day since I believe gun control is a failure and an obvious attempt to subjugate the masses by a government that no longer respects the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness while being a servant of the people.
The only reason for my next set of statements is that most state CCW permit applicants are run through the FBI background checks before approval is given to carry, so the feds do affect state issued permits.
The only gun law issue I can barely agree with is the state CCW system. Not because it weeds out potential bad guys from carrying guns, but because it at least makes you prove you know how to shoot the weapon at a target with a minimum of proficiency, thus lowering the chances of some innocent party taking a bullet from Mr. Spray and Pray. Even at that I still believe anybody should be able to bear arms. If they aren't considered dangerous enough to keep in prison or a looney bin, then let them carry.
My personal feeling about letting people carry is strictly that you should have to prove a minimum proficiency to carry. Issue a simple card (law enforcement need not even be involved for the testing, just two approved witness signitures that you are not a rotten shot. Approved signers could be a varied combo of range officer and civilian or NRA hunting course teacher or what have you.)
What camp do you live in?
