Yes but wasn't this right created during a time where arms meant muskets not machine guns?

 

Just sayin..

Simple.
Driving is a privelege.
Ownership of firearms is a right.
I really don't get what part of that people don't "get".
We have law upon law upon law controlling gun ownership, yet idiots who think everyone with a gun is a threat keep passing more and more restrictive laws.
Thumbprints? Notification of change of address? A photo kept on file?
Why does this bring to mind the sexual offender registry? Don't sexual offenders have a number of similar regulations?
At least they got a trial.

Didn’t we already get there when the same started being required for things like driver’s licenses???  While I’m not up on what your concerns might be with this particular piece of legislation, can you explain why you think the licensing of firearms should be easier than getting a driver’s license?
 
Besides, after the huge erosions of the previous eight years under King George, forgive me if I can’t get too worked up about what seem to be to be common sense changes to the licensing of firearms.  Personally, I think gun advocates do themselves a huge disservice and make the issue far more divisive than it needs to be by fighting against common sense changes designed to stop the huge trafficking in illegal firearms.
 
For those interested in reading the full text, here’s a link I hope works:
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/text
 
Also, why are you so much more concerned about a bill that’s highly unlikely to pass (IMHO – there are no co-sponsors) than you are about legislation that can have very real detrimental effects on health care in Idaho and weasle religious beliefs and conscience into the free market to interfer with the doctor-patient relationship?

I'm refering to H.R.45 AKA: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

Which will require gun purchasers to be licensed, photographed, fingerprinted and notify the government of address changes.

We are headed into brave new world... just like Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and any number of other totalitarian states.

Kai,

I came up with a blank page when I followed your link.  What are you focusing on here?
