Re: The Constitution of the United States of America

Turning to another point, what about those laws that don't prevent anybody from exercising their right to keep and bear arms, but make the process or ownership onerous? For example, everybody is allowed to own a firearm, but you can't transport a loaded firearm (see what NYC tried), you have to carry $10 Million insurance, etc. or the process requires you to publish that you are looking to obtain a license to possess a handgun and if even one person raises an objection you are denied without providing you any due process to determine the accuracy of the objection.

I grant you that those kinds of restrictions are unlikely to pass muster.

Canada has none of these restrictions, and yet they have a non-gun murder rate comparable to the US*, and a gun-murder rate one seventh that of the US.


* So it's not as though Canadians are intrinsically more peaceful people.
