You replied:


Who's doing that?


and you continued:

For cheap golf, since I walk, yes. Campsites probably average $45. So
what? The Constitution says absolutely nothing about golf or camping.
If the county government wanted to impose an extra $50 tax on camping,
there would be no infringement of my rights.

$100 every six years for your gun permits is chicken feed. But that
same amount to one who can't afford $5 for a photo ID to enable him to
vote may be insurmountable. Therefore his rights are being infringed
upon.



John, twice in one post you hung your argument on the 2A asking "Who's
doing that?" after I suggested that citing the 2A and refusing to
consider *any* laws or rules didn't make sense.


You said, "...and refusing to consider any laws or rules...", to which
I asked, "Who's doing that?"

I should have been more clear.

I've *never* said there should be no laws or rules regarding gun
control.

My argument is that it is possible to greatly infringe on the gun
ownership rights of folks *without* nullifying, modifying, or throwing
out the Constitution - which you stated could never happen. The
requirement for exhorbitant registration fees could easily become a
form of 'confiscation'. When one has a choice of paying more than he
can afford, turning in his weapon, or becoming a felon, his rights, in
my opinion, are being infringed upon.
