Nonsense.
Measures are enacted by government in accordance with Constitutional case law; that case law instructs government as to what measures are valid and what measures are not, what limits and restrictions on our rights are lawful and what limits and restrictions are not.
With regard to the Second Amendment, government may enact laws requiring a background check, consistent with the Second Amendment.
Government may not enact laws prohibiting the possession of a handgun, in violation of the Second Amendment.
That these simple, fundamental facts of governance must be explained at all on a political discussion forum is ridiculous.
What's ridiculous is your conceptualization of what rights are and what the constitutional justification of laws is.
