Any rational, adult non-felon shall not have his or her right to keep and bear arms infringed in any manner.

Adult? OK, - that a reasonable regulation on the rkba's.
Forbidding ex-felons? They shouldn't be 'ex' if they are still dangerous to society.
Rational? To give our government the power to determine the 'rationality' of non-dangerous persons is a non-rational act in itself.

Proving that you are the person you claim to be (with no record of the transaction required to kept on any file or computer) is not unreasonable. Will it do much good? I doubt it.
But neither do I see it doing any harm. If you have a convincing arguement otherwise, or can show a violation of the 2nd Amendment, I'm all ears.

The 'harm' is in allowing ~any~ level of government to exceed 'reasonable' regulations on our rights.
We allowed the feds to so exceed in both the 1934 & 1968 gun control 'acts', and we are now reaping the whirlwind in not only unreasonable fed/regs, but in CA., a state totally out of control.

You both have me on this point.
Shall we amend it that to "criminally insane" as found in a court of law, and/or as to be found so incompetent as to be under the care of a legally appointed guardian?
