Might I suggest one small change in your philosophy? If, instead of looking for it in the Bill of Rights, you look at the delineated powers. If it is not listed that as something they can regulate, let the chips fall where they may.

Steve, you are always so eloquent in your language :)

Agreed - But..

Same has been said about
concealed carry - there will be blood in the streets
Open carry - there will be blood in the streets
Campus carry - there will be blood in the quad
Constitutional carry - there will be blood in the streets

Even though many other states have implemented all of the above - has anyone had the blood in the streets? (As they left would describe it anyway)?

Driving a car - some are licensed (but can’t!)
Licensing - doesn’t prevent idiots from doing dumb things
Lack of licensing doesn’t always make things worse

If it is the the Bill of Rights - let the chips fall where they may - without exceptions or restrictions
If Darwin wins (or others lose as some are just idiots)

That’s no difference to many other things in our society (drugs, DUI, etc)
