Requiring background checks, finger printing, license and license fee are "infringing" on my 2nd A right.

And, of course, this whole argument is about you right? Nobody else does or should matter if it conflicts with you. So, am I right in assuming that you believe anyone should have access, even the drug users or the mentally ill. Am I right to assume that people that have committed prior violence or have broken the law should have access. Am I right to assume that fully automatic rifles, machine guns or any caliber that will ever be made should be available to everyone. I'm a gun carrying vet, with a concealed weapon permit that is for my self protection and I will fight for my 2nd amendment right to do that. But I will fight against those weapons that aren't for self protection and to keep them out of the hands of those that have a history of violence, are drug users or mentally ill. If you have a better way than government to accomplish that then put it out there. Remember the environment when the 2nd amendment was adopted, they couldn't imagine the weapons we have today. IMHO
