Having to renew a license to carry every 5 years is a burden. I have had a carry license since I was 18 years old, but do not have one currently because of that exact burden.
One should not have to jump through hoops or pay a fee to exercise a constitutional right. The courts have ruled that poll taxes and restrictions on voting are unconstitutional. Why should the second amendment be different?
People know that you can't shoot someone except in self defense. Many states never had a training requirement to obtain a concealed carry permit, and that has not been a problem. Nor has there been a problem in the 19 or so states that have constitutional carry.

The author is a 10th Amendment troglodyte.
The 14th Amendment exists precisely to delegate to the federal government the authority to impose the Bill of Rights on the states.
Wake up, dude. The 10th Amendment still has its purpose, but as it pertains to the Bill of Rights, state power has effectively been attenuated by the constitutional process of delegating that power to the United States. It is therefore legitimate, and that's the reality. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
