Constitution does not prohibit the congress from passing laws which would promote safety of law abiding citizens.

I am totally against any restrictions on any US Citizen from buying or inheriting any firearms of their choice with no prohibitions, provided they have not been convicted of any violent crime, and are not mentally sick. Reported Spousal physical abuse should also forfeit your firearms 2nd Amendment rights.

There should be no annual fees to own firearms, because in practical terms it restricts law abiding people with insufficient resources to own firearms.

Not it should not. CONVICTION of FELONY spousal abuse should qualify, but not "reported".

The son of a friend of my wife was just recently thrown in jail because his wife called up and "reported" him as having abused her. Knowing the situation, it is far more likely that she abused HIM.

His family was scurrying around to raise lawyer fees and bail when she calls his father as told him that she lied, and how could she "fix it". Unfortunately, when she found out that SHE might be liable for having lied, she did not "do the right thing" and withdraw her complaint.

The first thing that pretty much ANY woman who wants a divorce does is claim "he abused me", usually on the advice of her divorce lawyer.

So no, I can't go along with "reported".
