requiring classes and licenses to exercise a right, kinda defeats the purpose of it being a right, don't ya think? Not only that, but I believe there is a supreme court case that said no state can charge a license fee or tax for the exercise of a right that is federally protected.

It will be interesting to see the USSC ruling on the DC gun ban. The author of the Appeals Court decision that ruled it unconstitutional also wrote in the decision:

Judge Silberman, writing for the majority yesterday, said the decision’s reasoning still allowed “reasonable restrictions” on the ownership and use of guns, and he gave some examples. It is “presumably reasonable,” he wrote, to prohibit drunks from carrying weapons and to ban guns in churches and polling places.

No right is absolute.
