Reply #66: I can't speak for anyone else

but my point of view is that the main body of the Constitution describes how the federal government was to be set up, and what powers it would have. Counter-balancing that, is the Bill of Rights, which specified what government couldn't do, and was thereby left to the people as individuals.

Anyone can set up a free press
Anyone can own a gun
Anyone is entitled to protection from illegal search and seizure
etc.

I think any and all gun registration laws should be held at the state or local level (10th amendment) rather than a federal level.
