Because guns are lethal weapons? Why do we require training, testing and licensing before driving a vehicle on a public road where others are also travelling? Public safety.The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home - and was written with people like you in mind.The 2nd was written with a militia in mind....The 2nd was written with people like you in mind - thank you for validating its purpose.View attachment 253277No. We don't.But you've got to find some reason why civilians can have such serious weapons as AR's etc. when to you they are nothing more than a toy.
The 2nd Amendment protects our right to own them and use them for traditionally lawful purposes -- we are not, and in fact cannot be, in any way in any way shape or form required demonstrate a need for them.
Fact remains - we are not, and in fact cannot be, in any way in any way shape or form required demonstrate a need for them, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Why do you think it is constitutionally permissible to requite training, testing and licensing as a condition to exercise a right?
