So obviously I was using "driving as a right" to look at "guns as a right"
If driving was in the constitution, could we have DUI laws? could we require drivers' licenses? insurance? could we give tickets? could we have a speed limit? could we make people drive on the right side of the road, stop at stoplights, etc?
While I still think the second amendment applies only if you are in a militia, even if we say it applies as a right to have guns in your house even if you aren't in a militia, I fail to see why we can't impose safety rules like trigger locks, limited magazines, real training to get a license, perhaps a license renewal every so often that at least checks your eye sight (and yes, I know, blind people have guns).
Also seems reasonable if you ever abuse a gun - it drops out of your pocket at a theater or you leave it in a public restroom or you shoot your kid accidentally pulling it out of a truck - you don't get to own one for awhile - suspended license.
But hey, it just seems like people will accept any number of deaths in order that they, personally, get to own a gun with no restrictions. We wouldn't do this with cars, which are needed for commuting. It's a shame the courts have let us do this with guns.
