You forgot to mention that it is also the law to register amateur radios, and
also necessary to get a license to operate one -- and has been the law for more

about infringing upon the rights of amateur radio operators; why not ?  Just
register your gun and shut up.

I would prefer to be a serf or peasant who doesn't have to worry about some
idiot grabbing a gun and perforating me with bullets.
