...according to SCOTUS the RKBA is a right of individuals. Since it is impossible to keep and bear without first obtaining, which do you think embraces Democratic ideals? Here's the options:
First is to buy one at a licensed store from a licensed operator. These are easiest to regulate and audit.
Second is buy one from a friend or just a guy who placed an ad on the web. Regulation here depends on the individuals.
Third is to steal one or get one from someone who is breaking the law by selling it.

Eliminating the first option adds to those taking options two and three. Learn from history, from Prohibition. Arms are an enumerated right, alcohol is not.
