Not specific, but since it is not denied, yes it is a constitutional right. Still doesn't prevent regulation..
The very definition of regulation is an infringement on activity, what do you fail to understand about "shall not be infringed"?
Ask Justice Scalia. Even he says the 2nd Amendment is not unlimited - and he's a NaziCon fruitcake.
No right is unlimited, however when government decides to curtail the right, it has to 1)have an overriding need to do so and 2) use the most non intrusive methods of curtailing the right.
There is no overriding need to make me wait 3-6 months and pay $1000 to keep a 6 shot revolver in my house, and it sure as hell not a non intrusive method of trying to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands.
What federal law, or proposed federal law does that?
It's NYC law, which is held as the "gold standard" for gun control by some people.
New York City law is not Federal law.
