but as a law-abiding gun owner I certainly wouldn’t mind if one day I had to show ID and the clerk wrote down what I bought, especially if I knew those practices might one day help the feds catch a cartel smuggler.

It sounds great and reasonable and moderate until you consider that this kind of documentation has always, always, always lead to confiscation eventually.

If I only had some Constitutional guarantee that this could never happen… that my right to keep and bear functional arms (which means ammo, too) couldn’t be infringed upon … regulated out of practicality …

This is why I cringe when Mr. Hopey-Changiness and others insist the Constitution is out of date and contains too much stale old dogma and ideology. 32 states have voted to have another constitutional convention. They only need two more, and the jig is up.
