"No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor." --Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 US 105, US Supreme Court, 1943. "The U.S. Supreme Court broadly and unequivocally held that requiring licensing or registration of any constitutional right is itself unconstitutional." --Follett vs. Town of McCormick, S.C., 321 U.S. 573 [1944]

I've always considered these laws a violation of the 2d Amendmet,& wondered why no one ever brought it up.

The constitution is not enough. We should not have to depend on an amendment to own weapons or defend ourselves with them in our own country. I'm not a one-issue voter, but this is my litmus test, for sure!

What a shame that the original colony could stray so far.

Virginia senate voted down a bill that would have repealed the one gun a month law.Typical progressives,wanting the American people unable to defend themselves.

@ralphdjeeper because it makes people very uncomfortable when those rulings are applied to guns.

You see many people still operate under the assumption that registrations an restrictions have an impact as far as criminals are concerned, even most of the people who want supposedly sensible gun control don't understand that most gun crime as it is is still committed by criminals.

if restrictions worked then gun control would work, he does it because they don't, and lots of people don't see that

These Right's were declared too be God Given ,not Government Given, by our own Constitution.

[ralphdjeeper]

why has this not been brought up too the Supreme Court,and used before,like 1968 gun laws case.?
