Seems to me a lot of people on this forum would view all that as infringement, but come to think of it a lot don’t think deeply about the meaning of infringement any more than they think deeply about the meaning of “the right of the people to keep and bear arm”.
I’ll credit you with thinking rather than giving a knee jerk response.
I knew it was going to be a controversial post to many, but I tried to ground it in the words and intents of the Framers.
I'm trying to give people a bone to chew on, to be the basis of more thought on the matter, in a way that is consistent with historical thought by the Founders and Framers.
I'm not trying to appeal to the knee-jerk absolutists, and I'm also not trying to imply that there aren't lines that I'm not willing to cross, too. But if we don't want the current head-banging from the left and right to continue ad infinitum, then someone has to offer something of a compromise that is solidly grounded in Constitutional thought, as well as solve just one problem -- not many problems -- just one problem, and not be so onerous as to be a sledge hammer solution to a fly swatter problem.
I think this can be that kind of a solution that people on the left and right can coalesce around, but it's going to take more than monosyllabic grunts to have a meaningful debate on the matter.
But that's just me.
