I didn’t say there was a right to privacy in the Constitution, I just said it was a massive violation of privacy. Also, if you think the only rights that matter are the ones in that document, I disagree. Finally, “other rights are reserved to the States, OR TO THE PEOPLE.” Medical records are confidential, police records, especially involving private property, should also be. Tell me what public purpose is served by identifying the makes and models of specific firearms. Should they report the serial numbers too, so all his guns are not only effectively registered by them, but also by all the members of the public, too?

The Second Amendment IS in the Constitution, and I agree that the Right to Keep and Bear Arms IS protected. However, you specifically referenced “privacy” which IS NOT mentioned in the Constitution. Perhaps you were referring to a “penumbra” or “emanation?”

Actually the right to “privacy” would be contained in the 4th Amendment...

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
