I don't think those people would want to protect the right. If it were threatened (2A I mean), then they'd just lobby for a new way to by pass the line. I do see the merit in a bunch of people taking the classes that otherwise never would have, especially people who work for the government.
Would you still feel the same way if it was something like everyone with a CCW permit no longer had to test for emissions? I'm not actually looking for an argument, just curious to see how you feel?
