I’ve been talking about this for a couple of months now. This is how “legislators” are going to circumvent the accusation that they are dismantling the Second Amendment - by making buying, owning and using a gun one of the most difficult things we can do.
If they load it up with paperwork, regulations and taxes, they can claim that they haven’t affected the Second Amendment and, technically, they are right. But, as we all know, the whole point is to make exercising our Second Amendment rights an exercise in futility.
infringe - to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another.
encroach - to enter by gradual steps or by stealth into the possessions or rights of another.
No, they aren't right. "...shall not be infringed." means just that, and loading up a fundamental right with paperwork, regulations, and taxes is an infringement. Just because people haven't realized that such onerous bureaucratic crap is an infringement, does not make it any less so.
