It is hard to understand we can be required to have a driver's license to drive a car and have to purchase insurance for that car.
I should disclose that a gun owner threatened me with a concealed weapon on a public street a few years ago. He did spend the weekend in jail and after several court dates postponed hoping I would not be able to attend, I traveled for work every week, he did take a plea deal.

Your request for intellectual dialog is miss placed on this forum. I've been following this post as I too am concerned with status quo. I have carry permits in Florida and my old home state of Maine. Maine just implemented a new law that does not require any type of permit to carry a concealed firearm. If you are not a convicted felon and can maintain a body temperature around 98 degrees you qualify. I would have no problem with registering all my firearms and submitting myself to a stop and frisk policy. A mandatory federal licensing to carry with severe penalty for violation coupled with stop and frisk would reduce a good deal of the daily shooting we experience in this country. That would not infringe on 2nd amendment, IMO.
