Today's post on Ontario home inspections illustrates one of the reasons I get so irritated with some in Second Amendment academic circles who maintain that registration would prove to be Constitutional, citing militia laws specifying firearm and inspection requirements. There's no argument that those mustered were required to submit to command authority in this and other matters--but also no evidence that this universally included a thorough accounting of everything that they did not bring to the field and left for private use at home.
I don't know why these reputed smart guys think it's wise to cede this point before we've even engaged on it, and particularly with the indisputable historical record of government abuse whenever such lists are at their disposal.
