Gun Control & RKBA

(15,333 posts)...the imprimatur of a Constitutionally protected right, and thus greater barriers against prior restraint on their exercise obtain.
And as I've said before, one may like or lump District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago, but they are binding and will
remain so unless and until they are overturned by the Supremes.
I'd also add that opening access to the NICS to private sellers (with "safe harbo(u)r" provisions to encourage sellers to use it) would go a long way to
reduce illegal transfers. I leave it to the interested reader to speculate why the various gun control .orgs failed to support President Obama when
he suggested as much in March of last year:
"President Obama: We must seek agreement on gun reforms"
