Re: What are reasonable restrictions/infringements on 1st and second amendment rights
Asude from all the things that are wrong with them, what;s wrong with slavery? Rape? Murder? Terrorism?
And I'll take your lack of response regarding the issue of the failure to prosecute all those felons tha tried to by a gun asa concession of that point.
The government isnt restricting you because you might be committing a crime, it is verifying your identity. Requiring proof of identity is a -necessary- function regarding the right toi arms in that you have to prove you are who you say you are when you fill out the paperwork. It's no different than providing ID when you vote.
There's no constitutionally protected right to buy a beer.
You're right -- it is -exceptionally- silly.Not silly at all.

No and no.And here's another question - if a background check is prior restraint doesn't that make any furnishing of proof of legal qualification to do anything also prior restraint? Such as giving an ID to prove your age in order to buy a gun? Or to get a beer? Is that unconstitutional too?
