EEERRRRR! Wrong. The 2nd Amendment "right" has been gone since early 1900s.
Wake up, dude. Our modern gun "rights" are already heavily restricted. Do you think you have gun rights? Wrong again. State and federal laws. You have gun privileges that they can take away. How do you know? Whenever you fill out those damn state / local forms to buy a firearm. Whenever you head into CA / NYC / Chicago and just about everything you have in your vehicle is now illegal. Whenever you head into DC... where no firearms are allowed and yet the gun crime rate is one of the highest in the nation.
The only way to "restore" our "rights" is to negotiate with the system.
Joe Citizen: "We should let everybody in the country carry weapons."
Gummint: "Oh no! CHAOS! ANARCHY! Only cops, soldiers, and the guys raping our wives need guns!"
Joe Citizen: "What if we have a national training certification standard?"
Gummint: "Okay, and you'll pay $500 for the plastic card."
Republicans are pro-gun because their pro-gun lobbies support them well.
Democrats are anti-gun because their anti-gun lobbies support them well.
...
When guns are outlawed... only outlaws and paranoid white people will have guns.

I'm also for this kind of legislation as well. The general deterrence it provides is amazing.
Strangers have no business in the homes of others. They know this. The idea that invading someone's home is a ticket to getting shot without appeal is good.
Hell, I could just hang a "Protected by H&K" sign in my windows.
