Somehow I knew as soon as I saw that you replied, that would bit me in the ass 
You sir, are absolutely correct. I was speaking in reference to gun laws that restrict ownership of certain guns, waiting periods, etc.
I am speaking generally, but I think many of us would agree that those laws are stupid, excessive, whatever word you choose.
Not only do I think those laws are stupid...I believe they are unconstitutional. Luckily, I am a citizen of a relatively enlightened state. We can open carry and with a little paperwork, we can conceal carry...what is really cool (and very expensive) is we can own suppressors!
I would however put it to you, that just because something is not in the Constitution, doesn't mean the government has a right to restrict whatever/whomever it wants.
The 10th says that if the Constitution doesn't give a particular power to the feds...the feds don't have that power. That's why I am so enthused about the renaissance of political awareness and activism since the last election!
Oh...did Cali ever enact that ban on .50 cals?
