As for me, I'm of the opinion that requiring a citizen to pay for a permit to exercise a Constitutional right is complete and utter bullshit, but I'll take what I can get for now.

It's also a bullshit Amendment considering it was written in a time where the musket was the world's most useful weapon. There was also a need for citizens to arm themselves in case of insurgency or further invasion from foreign countries. Taking all of this into consideration, the 2nd Amendment served as a means of self-protection in a very unsure and unstable new world, not for tens of thousands of people to abuse so that they can commit gun crimes.

This is also coming from someone who finds the annual deaths from firearms underwhelming in the big scheme of things. I don't care which way it goes, but I find much more logic in gun control than not.
